Sean Baker’s TANGERINE Red Band Trailer

One of the most buzz-worthy films to screen at Sundance this year was Sean Baker‘s Tangerine, a dark comedy about a day in the life of two prostitutes, entirely shot using an iPhone. Magnolia picked up the film and released a new restricted trailer today, ahead of it’s July 10th release date.

The film stars Kitana Kiki Rodriguez, Mya Taylor, Mickey O’Hagan, and James Ransone.

It’s Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee (newcomer Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend (James Ransone, STARLET, Generation Kill) hasn’t been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, the working girl and her best friend, Alexandra (newcomer Mya Taylor), embark on a mission to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumor. Their rip-roaring odyssey leads them through various subcultures of Los Angeles, including an Armenian family dealing with their own repercussions of infidelity. Director Sean Baker’s prior films (STARLET, PRINCE OF BROADWAY) brought rich texture and intimate detail to worlds seldom seen on film. TANGERINE follows suit, bursting off the screen with energy and style. A decidedly modern Christmas tale told on the streets of L.A., TANGERINE defies expectation at every turn.
