| Award winning filmmaker Philip Botti (New York Underground Film Festival Choice Award - Middletown) once again takes audiences on a unique and satirical journey - full of warmth, humor, and irony. Made for under thirty thousand dollars, Home Field Advantage is deliberate, efficient and stylish filmmaking at it's best. Told in three separate stories, the film takes place on the New Jersey Shore and chronicles the lives of three very different people struggling to find their place in the world. "BUST A MOVE" Charlie (Dan Fogler), a twenty-something toll booth collector, has big plans for moving out of his parent's house. But when a collection agency letter arrives demanding restitution for community college student loans, Charlie's plan is thrown for a loop. Soured by her first son's thirty-two year residency at home, mother Carol (Leslie Lyles), provides the diverting nudges to get Charlie out of the house, while his outrageous friend Walter (Scott Wolfe), provides the comedy relief, brotherly abuse and warped model to which Charlie bases independence on. With the worsening financial condition of father Bob (Steven Randazzo), Charlie is faced with a touching decision when he learns his father has put the family's house up for sale. In the end, Charlie must choose between freedom or life in his parent's basement. "THE BLACK SHEEP" Ettore (Giampiero Judica), is an eager and bumbling immigrant who leaves his home in the mountains of Italy to find a new life in America with his distant cousin Morris (Lou Martini, Jr.), the local town bookie. As mishaps ensue, Ettore soon learns that America's advantages may be few and far between - a sobering experience that is painfully funny. "THE MISSING LINK" Albo (Scott Black), is an Asbury Park cab driver and loner who has a propensity for drinking, Elvis and being misunderstood. Wanting to be an achiever and looking to escape, Albo sets his sights on a Graceland pilgrimage - a trip that will have to be made by foot. Along the way he meets an abnormal diner waitress (Heather Donahue), who literally toys his with his manhood, while challenging his need for a spiritual getaway. |
