Another Life
Nathan Ruegger
Growing up in L.A. is not what it's cracked up to be. In a town of sunshine, glitz, and glamour, I saw the personal dramas kept hidden from prying eyes.
I saw my neighbor crawl into my backyard, overdosing on cocaine as my father held his hand and prayed with him before he died. I saw my third grade classmate throw rocks at my brother's head just because he wanted to see what real blood looked like. I saw alcoholism, divorce, and disease slowly squeeze the life out of happy families until there was nothing left but silence.
"Another Life" came out of the need to show L.A.'s true face, to tell a real story about the little secrets we keep pent up inside and our struggle to overcome them. I wrote and directed "Another Life" as my student thesis film, shooting it over ten days on a modest budget with the help of family, friends, and some brilliant filmmakers. Now we're in consideration at over 40 film festivals around the world and my fingers are crossed.
"Another Life" is a neo-noir thriller about a young female veteran who has three days to kill an innocent man or they both die. To find out more, watch the trailer below and check out our website at anotherlifefilm.com, or you can email me directly at anotherlifefilm@gmail.com.
