the duty free

"the duty free" is a short film that shows the world through the eyes of Anderson Walls. A man who is dealing with issues of alienation, dispossesion, compliance and action. From these issues a choice will have to be made.

"the duty free" was written and directed by Matthew S. Martin and shot entirely on Kodak's beautiful Kodachrome K-40 & Plus-X Super 8mm reversal film stocks (yes, that's right FILM) in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Featuring the debut performance of Nathan Middleton as Anderson & a rocking song by The Jack Palance Band, "the duty free" is the first project from ApeDrape Films and is an official selection of the 2001 ANTIMATTER FESTIVAL OF UNDERGROUND FILM AND VIDEO, the Chapel Hill, N.C., FLICKER FESTIVAL and the LOCAL YOKELS FEST in Chattanooga, TN. "the duty free" runs 5min. 44sec. and contains adult themes and language.
