Support your local filmmakers! For most of his life, executive producer, co­writer (along with wife, Betty), and star Sid Burston has had an obsession with jazz great, Miles Davis. Often described as a Davis look­a­like with a mustache, squint a little and one can’t help but see a little of veteran character actor Keith David shining through. Burston has transformed his obsession with MD into a homegrown feature chronicling the life of Michael DeVeaux (Burston), a hard­living, hard­loving day­trader who by night blows sax at a mob­run jazz club. The wife-beating, inveterate alcohol/drug­ingurgitating high roller is far from a self­made monster. The lives of his father and brothers are rocked when a bastard son comes to claim his rightful place among the long line of DeVeaux freaks. Written and shot in Vista and “crewed” by talent from across the county, this fiercely low­budgeted labor of love owes as much to the family loyalties of The Godfather(s) as it does the outrageous excess of R. Kelly’s Trapped in the Closet. One drawback: even with headphones, large swatches of dialog were lost due to inadequate sound recording. Directed by Jimmy Jenkins. (2015) — Scott Marks
