In what would be Miguel Coyula's first feature production, RED COCKROACHES is a disturbing urban thriller made with a micro-modest budget of $2000. It's the first in an auteurist trilogy stemming from Coyula's transgressive approach to Cuban speculative fiction. Set in a near-future NYC plagued by acid rain and the invasive corporate rule of DNA21, Adam Zarrasky is just another awkward 20-something until his daily routine is upended by a lonely, beautiful woman on a subway platform. What begins like a scene out of a romantic comedy in this poisoned world quickly devolves, opening a hole of lost family secrets and unthinkable psychosexual horrors. Coyula develops a language of singular cinematic unease that must be seen to be believed – audiences will never look at ketchup the same way again. Featuring an in-person Q&A with director Miguel Coyula on August 13th!
