Upon release from prison, a solitary man known only as “the Rambler” (Dermot Mulroney) embarks on a mysterious journey en route to reconnecting with his long-lost brother. Traversing treacherous back roads, lost highways, and isolated small towns, he unearths a multitude of bizarre and wickedly depraved slices of Americana. Director Calvin Lee Reeder infuses his surreal narrative with as much degenerate humor and violent imagery as he can fit into 97 minutes of pure impurity.

FILMMAKER IN PERSON!

CALVIN LEE REEDER (director) – A stark mix of underground horror shock with existentialist atmosphere, Calvin Reeder’s films, “Piledriver,” “Little Farm,” and “The Rambler,” put the art into lo-fi splatter pics. Originally from Portland, Ore., and living in Seattle up until 2007, Reeder played extensively with the art-punk bands the Popular Shapes and the Intelligence. He was named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 Faces of Independent Film.” His debut feature, The Oregonian, premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival
