Homewrecker with Michelle Krusiec

We caught the trailer of Homewrecker, which premiered at Sundance 2010, and saw Michelle Krusiec of Saving Face fame. She plays a supporting role as an ex-girlfriend. (she’s not the homewrecker)

Here’s the film’s synopsis:

Mike is a locksmith. He’s also a prisoner on work release, but you wouldn’t know it. He’s just trying to focus on his house calls and reconcile with his ex-girlfriend—until Margo hijacks his day. A live wire kook, who’s certain her boyfriend is cheating on her, Margo bulldozes Mike into spying on the alleged cad. The result: an all-day adventure with a (seemingly) stolen vehicle, a visit to an unlikely drug dealer, and a low blood sugar attack. Potential trouble follows these two around—but maybe something good will come of it?

Also here’s a great article about Michelle Krusiec here talking about her career and her past. Look for more indie films with her including “Zoom Hunting” and “Shuffle”.

Update: You can rent “Homewreckers” on on Youtube thru January 31, 2010 here.
