Rhythm Thief

Leaving December 31 • 1h 27m

Directed by Matthew Harrison • 1994 • United States
Starring Jason Andrews, Eddie Daniels, Kevin Corrigan

Shot guerrilla-style in a whirlwind eleven days for just $11,000, Matthew Harrison’s edgy, invigorating indie follows Simon (Jason Andrews), a small-time hustler who ekes out a living selling bootleg music cassettes on the graffiti-covered streets of the Lower East Side. When he rips off 1-900-BOXX, a militant all-girl punk band fronted by real-life rocker Cynthia Sley (of the Bush Tetras), Simon finds himself on the run along with a woman (Eddie Daniels) from his past.
