OUT FILMMAKER
MARINA RICE BADER
WILL RELEASE HER
NEW FEATURE
AVA’S IMPOSSIBLE
THINGS
WORLDWIDE
ON VIMEO IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ITS PREMIERE
AT 2016 OUTFEST LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES,
CA - Writer/director/producer Marina Rice Bader is set to
world premiere her new feature film, Ava’s Impossible Things, at
this year’s Outfest Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival. The film will screen at the
DGA 1 on Saturday, July 16 at 4:00pm with Marina and cast in attendance.
In keeping with the "do-it-her-way-ethos” Bader is known
for, she will give the film its worldwide release as a rental on Vimeo on July 17th, the day after its Outfest
screening. The talented filmmaker is no stranger to this innovative strategy
having released her Anatomy of a Love Seenmuch the same way in
2014. Gravitas Ventures will again join the team to take Ava’s Impossible Things to all other VOD and streaming
platforms in the fall.
Fans around the world will be able to rent the film on Vimeo on
any Internet-capable device for only $5.00 for a 48-hour rental period. Subtitled
versions for a number of foreign languages will also be available including
Spanish, Portuguese, French and German.
Ava’s Impossible Things is the first film to receive an investment from Vimeo’s “Share the Screen” female filmmaking fund, which was
launched at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival to support emerging female voices
in film.
“I love Vimeo’s ‘Everyone is welcome, come be part of our
vibrant community, create your vision and share it with the world’ mentality.
I’m honored, and can’t wait to share Ava’s journey," says Bader.
The heart-wrenching tale tells the story of Ava and her mother
Faye, bonded by many things…unconditional love, a passion for the arts, a
belief that magic exists, and an insidious disease that will one day end both
their lives.
It’s been three years since Ava moved back into her mother’s
house to care for Faye, and as Ava witnesses the slow downward spiral all she
can do is keep her mother’s spirits up while locking away the fears of her own
future.
Today is a day like any other until rare guests and unexpected
events compel Faye to make a shocking announcement, sending Ava into a
tailspin. Unable to deal with reality, Ava cries herself to sleep in her
mother’s arms and escapes to a dream world filled with old friends and long
forgotten desires.

About Soul Kiss Films and Marina Rice Bader:
In 2009 Marina Rice Bader founded Soul Kiss Films, an
independent company dedicated to producing evocative, entertaining and
compelling movies by women, for women and about women. Her first project out of
the gate was to executive produce instant classic Elena Undone,
followed by A Perfect Ending two years later.
In 2014 Marina felt driven to go down a more authentic path,
writing, directing and starring in Anatomy of a Love Seen, where
she created an exciting new model of filmmaking not only during production, but
with her creative distribution, earning much publicity. Next came Raven's
Touch, which she produced and co-directed with powerhouse Dreya Weber in
2015.
Marina is currently in post-production on her most ambitious
film to date as writer, director and producer, Ava's Impossible Things,
premiering July 2016 at Outfest Los Angeles.
"I have always had a love affair with
movies, but it wasn’t until my early fifties that I had enough faith in myself
to make the leap to actually creating them. I feel I’m just hitting my stride
with American Ryder, a female ensemble action film shooting in
2017,” says Bader.
