Synopsis
Alcatraz Avenue takes
the old adage to write what you know to an extreme.
Imagine a writer who gets all of his ideas from real-life situations
only he creates the situations himself, filling his work
with suspense and the destruction of innocent people. He examines
what happens when the creative side of an industry, not only
imitates life, but also determines it. In local writer/director
Tom Edgars tense psychological thriller ALCATRAZ AVENUE,
David Driscoll wants to write a bitter, satirical novel about
the American family. But as an only child with one living relative
he hasnt much experience from which to draw. Posing as
a college student he rents a room with the Contreras, a troubled
Berkeley family, to study and record everything they do and
say so he can faithfully write what he observes. He soon realizes
that realistic characters alone will not make his novel compelling;
he needs conflict, and the only way to ensure conflict is to
create it. As David turns the family members against one another,
he is forced to face the dark secrets in his own past. A chilling
drama of family, betrayal and the creative process.
