It's going down! On November 13th to be precise, when Breaking Glass Pictures release Ward Roberts' Dust Up on DVD. The film stars Amber Benson, Ezra Buzzington and Jeremiah Birkett and looks bloody mental!
In the high desert, people like to lay low. Jack Truman (Aaron Gaffey) is a shellshocked soldier turned handyman, seeking refuge in the hot sun from a cold, dark past. He's traded his service pistol for a cordless drill, forsaken allegiance to the flag for meditation on a yoga mat.
Jack's only friend: a quirky hipster named Mo (Devin Barry), who wants nothing more than to embody the life of a Native-American Indian, complete with teepee, organic foods, tomahawk...and tube socks.
Their peaceful oddball paradise is interrupted when Jack answers a call from a desperate customer, Ella (Amber Benson, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), a struggling new mother in the middle of nowhere - soaked in mud from a broken water main and drowning in debt. Ella calls Jack for help, unable to reach her elusive husband, Herman (Travis Betz), a methed-out jackass who lost his job and disappeared into the desert.
What should be a simple plumbing gig turns into a world of hurt for Jack, as he soon finds himself embroiled in this family's twisted situation - leading to an inevitable and violent confrontation with Herman's maniacal dealer, Buzz (Jeremiah Birkett). A sex-crazed drug lord, Buzz has assembled his own legion of cultish followers - youthful "Heathens" inspired by his innovative speed concoctions, conspiracy theories, mandatory orgies and a rather grotesque dinner menu. Worlds collide when these colorful heroes and vicious villains are thrown together for the badass brawl-of-the-century. Jack will be forced to face his demons as he battles Buzz and a raucous army of raving wastoids. Jack doesn't stand a chance. Not without the help of his loyal sidekick, Mo, and the beautiful Ella, as they barrel down a one-way road ending in hilarious, bloody mayhem.
