MOVING PARTS Comes to Amazon Streaming
MOVING PARTS, written and directed by 2015 MFA in Film alumnx Emilie Upczak, will be released on Amazon on January 21, 2020.
The film was produced by John Otterbacher and features a score composed by Rafael Attias, both fellow VCFA MFA in Film alumnx. MOVING PARTS, which Upczak worked on during her time at VCFA, is a full-length drama about immigration and human trafficking.
From the film’s Amazon streaming page: “After being smuggled into Trinidad and Tobago to be with her brother, Zhenzhen, an illegal Chinese immigrant, discovers the true cost of her passage: her passport is confiscated and she’s forced to work off insurmountable debt. A neighboring art dealer may be able to lend a helping hand, while her guilt-ridden brother is helpless against the trafficking ring in which they are caught.”
