It’s fun, clever, witty and well-acted. \u2013 Ramas Screen<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAll in all a telling slice-of-life, well worth-watching\u201d- Cult Movies<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe movies pacing is excellent, it moves from scene to scene seamlessly\u201d \u2013 Crave Online<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>A relationship roller coaster ride with funny highs and dramatic lows.\u201d \u2013 Movie Vine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Written and directed by Alex Ranarivelo, produced by Paul J. Alessi, and co-produced by Amie Barsky and Baptiste DeRivel. Knuckle Draggers<\/em> takes a humorous but very real look at the state of modern male\/female relationships. Knuckle Draggers<\/em> is the relationship movie from a male perspective.<\/p>\n

The story follows Ethan, an all around nice guy who gets dumped because he wasn\u2019t able to provide his fianc\u00e9e with the plush, stable life her friends were living. Desperate to get her back, he seeks help from his older brother Kyle, a tough talking sexist who seems to have a way with the ladies. Kyle gives Ethan a crash course on women and dating much to the disgust of some of Ethan\u2019s female friends. Just when it seems Kyle\u2019s misogynistic theories are about to prove themselves true, things take an unexpected turn and force Ethan, Kyle and their friends to reassess their views on relationships.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of movies like Swingers<\/em> and Brothers McMullen<\/em>, Knuckle Draggers<\/em> gives us a unique point of view, a timely message, and a lot of heart. Not another indie film about friends hanging out, Knuckle Draggers<\/em> provokes questions about what modern couples want versus what they need, and how their needs may not have evolved much from those of our caveman ancestors.<\/p>\n

Scottish heartthrob Ross McCall heads a dynamic ensemble cast in the lead role of \u2018Ethan\u2019. His extensive credits include the HBO miniseries \u2018Band of Brothers\u2019 and most recently \u2018Crash\u2019, the Starz TV series. Omar Gooding plays Ethan\u2019s best friend \u2018Russell\u2019. Omar\u2019s list of credits includes \u2018Baby Boy\u2019, the HBO series \u2018Deadwood\u2019 and he\u2019s just joined the cast of the upcoming Jerry Bruckheimer TV series \u2018Miami Trauma\u2019. The film also stars Danielle Nicolet (\u2018The Starter Wife\u2019), Justin Baldoni (\u2018Heroes\u2019), and Jennifer Alden (\u2018Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen\u2019).<\/p>\n

Knuckle Draggers<\/em> features a musical score by Austin Wintory<\/strong>, whose credits include the multiple award-winning Captain Abu Raed.<\/em> A dynamic soundtrack accompanies the score, including tracks by J Mello & Dave Navarro<\/em>, Tyler Hilton, Marching Band, and Jennifer Love-Hewitt & Sophie B. Hawkins.<\/em><\/p>\n

The East Coast Premiere takes place on Thursday, May 21st at 9pm, at Movies of Delray 300 7421 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, FL. For more info, go to www.dbff.us<\/a> or email Michael Posner, Festival Organizer: maddoc@dbff.us<\/p>\n
