“Rufus” is a new 5-story horror anthology from Canadian-American filmmaker Mars Roberge, starring former drug kingpin Freeway Rick Ross (as portrayed in “Snowfall”), David J (Love and Rockets/Bauhaus), Angelo Moore (Fishbone), Rah Digga (Thir13en Ghosts), Spookey Ruben (Scumbag, Stars), Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds), Debra Haden (Mister Sister, Stars, Scumbag), Verona Blue (Bosch), Monique Parent and more!
Written and directed by Mars Roberge who brought us the black-and-white arthouse play adaptation “Stars” (winner of $25k Make Your Feature pitch contest from We Make Movies), the feel good dramedy “Mister Sister (closing film for 2021 Dances With Films), the hilarious punk comedy film “Scumbag” (World Premiere @ International Film Festival Rotterdam 2017) and the original documentary on Sex and the City’s stylist Patricia Field called “The Little House That Could” (2015 Audience Choice Winner for Best Film at NewFilmmakers Los Angeles + World Premiere at Frameline 2013). “Rufus” also contains a story that is adapted from the play “Climbing Vegetables” by Berlin-based playwright Erez Majerantz. The movie contains an original score by Angelo Moore (Fishbone) as well as original music by Michael Cashmore (Current 93).
A man in the hood, Rufus, tells five disturbing dark stories to his family and friends against his wife's will that includes a mortician working on the wrong night, a singer who learns about entertainment corruption, the future of adoption, medical malpractice and the cost of war.
The first horror film by Mars Roberge which he says was made by purposely freezing himself at night so that he could conjure surreal nightmares to write about afterwards. Film Threat calls Rufus “messed up campfire tales for an urban audience” while both MovieReviews101 and OneFilmFan.com calls Mars a “master story teller” of “the unpredictably bold.” U.K.’s Bloody Flicks commends its “willingness to embrace the bizarre” and London’s OriginalRock.net says “‘Rufus’ rarely sits still; it zig-zags demanding your attention.”
Rufus recently won Best Horror Film and was nominated for Best Picture at the 34th L.A. IFS Film Festival (Independent Filmmakers Showcase / "L.A. Film Festival").
