The Girl and the Gun

Babae at Baril

Available: Aug. 28 - Sept. 12, All USA

A nameless department store worker (played by Janine Gutierrez, who took the Best Actress award at QCinema International Film Festival) is lambasted by her boss, leered at by ne'er-do-wells, and intimidated by a creepy coworker. When she finds a discarded gun, it ignites an explosive chain reaction whose trail blazes and slithers its way through a city crumbling under the weight of its own moral rot. The firearm passes from hand to hand, putting troubled lives under a magnifying glass... With this stunningly cathartic clarion call for justice, Rae Red proves an auteur to watch.
