What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... But what if you can never leave? “A down and out Las Vegas Cabbie picks up the wrong ride and becomes embroiled in a series of escalating crimes…” (Genre: Action-Comedy-Romance) A hip, fast-paced feature film set 100% in Las Vegas, based on the real life memoirs of former LV cabdriver and screenwriter Nick Mathisen… |
The depth and soul of European Cinema meets the American Hijinx Genre. Think of Vegas. You picture slot machines, showgirls, the spirit of Lady Luck, and maybe even Elvis. The sun sets, and the neon lights set the mood just right.
You hail a yellow cab. But this is no ordinary ride. You’re about to experience an off-beat surreal side of Vegas few people have seen. “North Vegas Cabbie” is the account of Charlie Besson’s final night in town – he is your driver, a gambler, failed magician, a philosopher who’s losing his soul making a living running charters: when someone jumps in and requests “coke and a hooker”. On this night he seeks to manifest his Vegas fantasy by escaping with bags full of money and a beautiful working girl named Lorraine, to be played by the incomparable Frédérique Bel. (And thus, leading to a tapestry of events that could only happen in Vegas involving a junta of the town’s most colorful, absurd and volatile characters). |
