Press Kit


ALICIA ARINELLA, PRODUCER OF SOAP SCUM
Mark Ennis’s dark and urban story is one of my favorites. I love the idea of being a fly on the wall while you watch the repetition of common activities that occur throughout a single day and how, the longer you stay and watch, the small space becomes a world all its own. The added moral twist, I felt, added to how this man’s world was as small as his store and the consequences beyond that were never considered. Soap Scum was a vital experience for me and for the company to work with a very low budget but still produce a quality film.
