/jun13/ape-poster-s.jpg
Ever wanted something so badly that you’d do anything to obtain it? Like even make a deal with the devil? That’s the premise of the new movie APE, and we’ve got a trailer on tap that you won’t even have to sell your soul to see.
Directed and written by Joel Potrykus for Sob Noisse Movies, APE stars Joshua Burge (Coyote), Gary Bosek, Daniel Falicki, and Jason Roth.
Synopsis
Trevor Newandyke is a struggling small-time comedian. Not only does he bomb on stage, but he bombs in everyday life. To him, it’s the little things that matter most. He’s fed up with the threats from the cable company, 7-11 raising the price of the Slurpee, and all the jerks who think they can push him around. All he wants is a break, and for someone to get him. Not everyone, just someone.
But instead of taking a breath and getting himself together or taking his anger to the stage, he turns to the loud din of his headphones and the crackling glow of fire to ease his mind. He’s not only a lousy comic, but a pyromaniac as well. After a typical night disappointing the crowd, he finds that one of his jokes begins to come to life. A fruit salesman posing as the Devil strikes a bargain with Trevor. A golden apple for a joke.
He treasures the apple, seeing it as a sign or a magical object. But after some troubling news he tells the audience that it’s likely just an apple and meaningless. He decides to just eat it. It’s good, too. Makes Trevor feel something. The next day he finally reaches his boiling point during the clamor of his neighbors fighting.
But instead of hiding behind a match or homemade flame thrower, he instead turns to the baseball bat. He not only hits hard against those in his way, but he finds his voice on stage as well. He tells it like it is. No fluff. From here, Trevor lets go. He’s mad as hell, and he’s not going to take it anymore. Of course, deals with the Devil don’t ever turn out well.
