directed by Christian de Rezendes Synopsis You're invited to the party for hometown Hollywood dreamers that gets recklessly out of control! Acclaimed actor, Jacob Mattison (Robert Merrifield), returns to his small, northern Rhode Island burg to try and get his life under control. His boyhood friend-turned-foe, Morgan Stipe (Jeremy Banks), seizes his opportunity to throw a "Welcome Home Jake" party to elevate his own local notoriety as a wannabe filmmaker. This scathingly unpredictable dramedy locks you into a raw abyss of old loves, fresh deceit, industry networking, sexual carelessness and karate. A full improvisation, shot on the night of November 17th, 2001, Getting Out of Rhode Island features a kicking soundtrack by Sean Fullerton. Trailer Watch the DVD Trailer Here!
