Designed to pull gasp after gasp from the back of your spine and the depths of your soul, this new independent feature by S.F. filmmaker Bellis receives its premiere tonight. Dramatically and mythologically revealing the saga of Roland Rivers, New York talent scout living on the edge, Agent… improvisationally progresses as the tight-fisted action mounts, including sequences of previously unattempted sexual activities, Chinese opera, fire-eating, and a bath in a tub full of 500 hungry goldfish—see it to believe it! Featured is a sound-track by Voice Farm.
