Ashcan Copies

Catatonic. Nymphomaniac. Murderer. ASHCAN COPIES is an 80 minute gritty tale concerning the daily struggles of three psychologically disturbed, lower class people in a small town. When JASON kills GRACE as a symptom of coverting the town's top tramp TRACI his world of calculated killings and secretive necrophilia begins to unravel. After Traci entangles her adoring lover PETEY in a plot to kill her husband JEFF, she's left with only one ally to stave off Jason's psychotic lust, an anonymous CATATONIC that hasn't moved in ten years.

Directed by Andy Sylvester, Ashcan Copies leans on a strong ensemble — Laure Fontaine, David Glass, Greg Lang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2012.
