Warm Blood with Director Rick Charnoski at Tinker Street Cinema
Warm Blood with Director Rick Charnoski
Followed by an in-person Q&A with director Rick Charnoski.
Rick Charnoski is a lifelong skateboarder, artist and filmmaker based in Los Angeles.
Together with partner Coan Nichols, Charnoski has made numerous films showcasing
skateboarding, music, travel and art using the same DIY ethics of the subculture that
raised them.
Inhabiting the fringes of Modesto, California in the toxic haze of the 1980’s, WARM
BLOOD is a politically subversive, searing collage of sound, narrative, documentary and
trash B movie meta narratives, hand stitched by filmmaker Rick Charnoski in his debut
feature.
Red is a driven young runaway who returns to her hometown to track down her
wayward father. As she wanders the streets selling stolen drugs to finance her next
mission, she reflects on her early teen life through reading a journal that she finds in her
old bedroom. Tom, a young drifter, possibly a figment of Red's imagination, continues to
reappear in his '73 Duster and scoop her up after she runs away over and over again.
There may be an ominous conspiracy about a chemical induced sickness that threatens
their entire town. Is this a dream or is this just what a town full of corruption and
dishonesty looks like when you leave and come home two years later and two years
older?
Shot on 16mm film by renowned cinematographer Christopher Blauvelt (First Cow,
Emma, Night Moves) and nine years in the making, WARM BLOOD weaves jagged
textures of old photos, scrawled letters found in the trash, interviews done in the
midnight gloom under bridges, fake news broadcasts and random audio samples
together like a freaky quilt.
WARM BLOOD is an inverted vision of two lost souls shot in the same town as George
Lucas‘ AMERICAN GRAFFITI- A distress flare of a film shot into the night sky. a
kaleidoscopic hitchhiker's guide to the underbelly of America.
