A married couple battles an age-curse that begins the night of their wedding. Alex Kavutskiy and Jerzy Rose direct “A Bride’s Curse,” a darkly comedic folk tale about lying and marriage. After consummating on their wedding night, the curse is revealed. If the husband lies to his wife three times, he will die. At first the man doesn’t believe it—he offers up an outlandish lie to prove its absurdity, but sure enough the next morning he wakes up to a horn on his head. Another lie, more consequences. And the third would prove deadly. Plotting to evade the curse, the man begins an out-in-the-open affair with a co-worker and begins a new life of brutal honesty. Directed by and starring a supergroup of NoBudge veterans—we’ve featured co-directors Alex Kavutskiy and Jerzy Rose separately on several occasions; same with the cast of Tipper Newton, Alex Karpovsky, Anna Seregina, and Budd Diaz—the film holds broad appeal as a classic fable carried by sharp writing and solid performances. -KA. Writer/Director: Alex Kavutskiy, Jerzy Rose. Cast: Alex Karpovsky, Tipper Newton, Anna Seregina, Budd Diaz, O-Lan Jones. DP: Jay Carey. Production Design: Ester Song Kim. Original Score: Jason Martin Castillo.
