The Art Of Mob Movies: Pompano Beach, Florida Filmmaker
And Recent Art Institute Of Fort Lauderdale Graduate, Mike Glier, Brings
International Attention To The Modern Art Music Movement (MAMM), At Fort
Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF) With Feature Debut, “The Last
Hit”, Shot In South Florida.
In The Freshman, Marlon Brando
introduces Mathew Broderick to the real Mona Lisa, hanging on his
living-room wall. In “The Last Hit”, director Mike
Glier, introduces the world to the maverick-artist, Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr., in a
cameo, with dialogue, playing a homeless war-veteran and takes the audience
through the Labyrinth of Creativity in Hillsboro Beach, Florida, where the
provocative artist, described as, “The Howard Stern Of The Art World”, by mainstream
media outlets, creates performance art, Happenings, film and
modern-art-gonzo-journalism, a fusion of Salvador Dali’s cryptic vision melted
with Hunter S. Thompson’s gonzo journalism style of parody-reporting.
The thrilling, final
fifteen-minutes of the film about an elite killer for the local crime syndicate,
played by Louis Pappas, who struggles to stay alive as an odd assortment of
hired mercenaries and mob goons try to hunt him and his young female target,
played by Maya Juchtman, into an early grave, echoes the collaborative spirit
of Alfred Hitchcock and Salvador Dali in “Vertigo” and “Spellbound”, where
fine-art was used to create mood and effect in both film classics. Glier shoves
the shocking art of “Maverick Artist
Victor-Hugo” into perspective, with every passing minute of tension, as the
hunters become hunted, in a beach house, filled with stark canvas and dread.
The reduction
of incentives for film and television producers in South Florida has not
stopped independent filmmakers like Glier, Pappas and producer, Todd Bruno,
from carrying the banner of creativity and waving it proudly in cooperation
with the Modern Art Music Movement (MAMM), an international coalition of
artists, musicians, filmmakers and professionals using art, music, movies and
mixed media events to raise awareness about social issues not normally covered
by mainstream media and introduce new talent, using cutting edge technology.
The film had its' world premiere Sunday, October 27,
2013 at Cinema Paradiso, Fort Lauderdale, FL. Was screened at The Sunrise Civic
Center October 28th and will show at Cinema Paradiso , Friday, November 1st @
5:30pm and in Pompano Beach @ Muvico on the 7th at 6PM.

Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr shows his works which demonstrate the blur between pleasure and pain. His "Bleeding Woman" series including "Woman to Infinity" show a face which can either be in extreme pain or the throes of ecstasy. Museum-quality "Sensuous Magic" was created after a discreet viewing of the activities at a local S&M palace, where those in high positions of authority go to experience personal humiliation. Well, don't be embarrassed not to have visited one of the most unique cultural exhibits of the season: March 17th, The Bubble Gallery, Fort Lauderdale.
