Chicago Underground Film Festival and Filmmakers Summit 2008

From the creators of Film Geek comes THE AUTEUR - a melange of sweet romantic comedy and raunchy, riotous satire. Formerly renowned porn director Arturo Domingo (Melik Malkasian) - the creative genius behind classics like Five Easy Nieces and Requiem for a Wet Dream-- has arrived in Portland, Oregon to receive a Lifetime Achievement award at a film festival. Arturo is delighted at the prospect of reviving his sagging career, yet troubled that fate would lead him to the hometown of his only true love, Fiona (Katherine Flynn). With the reassuring voice of his attentive secretary Doris (Cara Seymour) over his cell phone, he navigates the chaos of a madcap weekend.Encountering crazed fans, former collaborators, bitter enemies, and free-loving hippies, we follow Arturo as he frantically attempts to raise money for the film that could put him back on top: Gang Bangs of New York.Through flashbacks we see his love for Fiona and their tragic breakup on the set of Domingo's ill-fated Vietnam epic, Full Metal Jackoff. We meet Frank E. Normo (John Breen) - Arturo's former Bobby DeNiro - who now has a wildly successful pay-per-view porn show. And, most importantly, we learn the about the dangers of Oregon weed. With a lot of heart, soul, and naked penises, THE AUTEUR is a seriously sexy comedy with a climax that absolutely must be seen to be believed.
