We had the pleasure of attending the premiere of FIX at the ultra chic Tribeca Grand Hotel with a official after party at Mangusta Loft featuring a photography exhibition and “Behind The Wheel” film by Tao Ruspoli. We thoroughly enjoyed the film. Here are a few details about it.
Racing across Los Angeles in one, unwieldy day, documentary filmmakers Bella and Milo must race from Beverly Hills to Watts — and places in between — in order to get Milo’s brother Leo from jail to rehab before 8pm, or Leo goes to prison for three years. A story inspired by true events, the trio documents their trip from a suburban police station in Calabasas through mansions in Beverly Hills, East LA chopshops, rural wastelands, and housing projects in Watts as they attempt to raise the $5,000 required to get Leo into the rehab clinic. Along the way they encounter dozens of colorful characters, each with their own anomalous perspective on Leo’s larger-than-life personality and style, and each with their own excuse for why they cannot help out. In the end, it may take the desperate irony of a drug deal to get the necessary funds to send Leo to rehab.
The film stars Olivia Wilde (TV’s “House” “Year One”), Tao Ruspoli, Shawn Andrews (“Dazed & Confused”), Megalyn Echikunwoke (TV’s “Raising the Bar”, “24”) and Dedee Pfeiffer.
