SYNOPSIS:

Solitaire’s first and last encounter with her father is his death. An edgy off-kilter experimental narrative about how death brings families closer together.

Solitaire is "an edgy off kilter experimental narrative about dealing with death. Collatos is fixated on his lead actress eccentric, angular features, and I don't blame him."

-Ray Pride (MovieMaker, Filmmaker, New City)
