(Ordinary People). Joining Hutton are Gina Bellman (Coupling),
Christian Kane (TNT's Into the West), as part of a team of thieves,
hackers and grifters who join forces to take revenge against those who
use power and wealth to victimize others. In LEVERAGE, Hutton plays
former insurance investigator Nate Ford, a once-loyal corporate
employee who recovered millions in stolen goods for his employer.
After the employer denied his son's insurance claims and allowed the
boy to die, Ford realized he could no longer work for the company. Out
of work and unable to get past his grief, Ford is hired by an executive
to recover airplane designs the executive claims were stolen by a
rival. He assembles four highly skilled team members. At first, the
team is hesitant to trust each other after so many years of working
alone. Once they discover they can work together, the group targets
the greediest and most unjust.

SOMEPLACE ELSE
Feature Documentary with a Q and A with the director to follow.
Part musical documentary, part personal meditation, "Someplace Else" is the engaging portrait of soul-blues-funk musician Vance Kelly from the South Side of Chicago, recorded through the director’s personal film journal as he transitions from his corporate job, which he quits after realizing its benefits have lost much of their value to him, to what he hopes will be creative fulfillment and a sense of purpose.
Luong’s thoughtful ruminations on where he has been and where he is going are interspersed with evocative images of the Windy City and footage of Vance Kelly and his Backstreet Blues Band.
"Someplace Else" is something else in filmmaking: weaving the narrative, photographic and lyrical content of the music in an
unconventional and rhythmic way, this feature debut transforms the visual experience of a documentary into a fresh, captivating journey of many facets.
