“Director Brian Jun is a veteran filmmaker, having completed his third feature, and this will be the second time his work has been showcased at the Midwest Independent Film Festival. His film ‘Joint Body’ will be at the festival on Tuesday, May 1st, at the Landmark Century Cinema in Chicago.
Continuing his exploration of gritty, working class level narratives, ‘Joint Body’ is about Nick (Mark Pellegrino), a man paroled from jail in exchange for signing over the custody rights to his ex-wife for his daughter. He develops a relationship with Michelle (Alicia Witt of “Friday Night Lights”), a lonely and troubled woman who forces him to re-evaluate his freedom as he faces the demons from his past.”
