Скачать или смотреть TAKEN IN \ Official Trailer (2023) — Featuring 'taken in (a song of hope)' by Kick. Snare. Crash.

OFFICIAL TRAILER for a newly remastered version of Chris White’s 2011 improvised independent film which was made entirely with cash and in-kind contributions from friends and family.

The story (co-written with his wife Emily Reach White), was inspired by his work with theatre students at a therapeutic boarding school in southern Virginia. This black-and-white family drama was filmed at South of the Border in South Carolina -- a surreal setting for the unfolding narrative.

TAKEN IN is the story of a man who must spend the weekend with his estranged teenage daughter at a roadside resort. It is here that Simon (Tim Brosnan) and Brooklyn (Madelaine Hoptry) must confront the issues that have driven them apart, and ultimately choose how they will move forward...together or alone.

A near-perfect example of the American “mumblecore” cinema movement, writer-director White, inspired by Jim Jarmusch’s STRANGER THAN PARADISE (1984), fashioned a beat-sheet story outline, then crafted dialogue by improvising with his actors weeks before filming began. Then, in post-production, White and editor Jeter Rhodes, worked cinematographer Daniel McCord’s otherworldly black and white DSLR images into naturalistic, free-flowing sequences of alienation and restoration.

TAKEN IN was originally released to U.S. film festivals in 2011.

Trailer features the song 'taken in (a song of hope)' by Kick. Snare. Crash.

We left the scene
of an accidental movie dream.
Tried a few lines,
but they wouldn’t do, not for me and you (darlin’)
All I’ve got left
Is silver screen dumb show regret
Asleep in my heart.

You never knew
that I sang to you, to the future you.
Lullaby cries
by a man who knew he would never do (enough)
Holding your hand
I remember the beat of your heart
…was so fast…

I was so afraid
I was a fraud
I wasn’t made for this

I tried to run
In hot pursuit
You’ll never take me alive

All I’ve got left
is silver screen dumb show regret
All we can do
is pray for the sequel to come
But this time you’ll know
oh I swear girl you’ll know it is so…
I’ve got this
(Got this)
