Saturday, November 15, 2008 @ 4:00 PM: The State Theatre
Cost: $8* / $6* for Students and Seniors
Category: Film
Directed by Zeke Zelker In Search Of is an unconventional drama where one hasty decision can force good people into severe circumstances. Desire will change everything. Zeke Zelker's twisted tale of people searching for love, power, revenge, family, belonging and sex unfolds. Michael Rady ("Kostas" Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Greek (ABC), Swingtown (Bravo)) leads this dynamic ensemble cast into the dark depths of human desire as a ruthless womanizer with a hidden agenda. An intense, spectacular, at times funny story, Zelker pulls no punches as he takes you through a world where a cheating wife, an OB-Gyn, an unsatisfied girlfriend, a high school virgin, a stripper and a prostitute will do anything to get what they want. It's all relative, but relationships are never what they seem. Actions always have consequences. Secrets will always be revealed. One act can have many different outcomes. One act can have so many different meanings. What are you in search of? Age Restriction: Not Rated 106 minutes
