Pablo Schreiber is destined to become a hero as he sets out to save his father’s life. The actor’s protagonist of Kaz is striving to do the right thing for his family in the classic 2004 black comedy, ‘Invitation to a Suicide.’
Lightyear Entertainment is set to release the movie digitally in North American this Friday, December 13. In honor of the crime thriller’s distribution, Film Factual is premiering an exclusive clip from the feature, which is titled ‘Location Scouting.’
Loren David Marsh wrote, directed and produced ‘Invitation to a Suicide.’ In addition to Schreiber in his first lead role, the movie also stars Kate Moennig, David Margulies and Matthew Rauch.
‘Invitation to a Suicide’ follows Kaz as he dreams of leaving his insular Polish immigrant community in Greenpoint, Brooklyn to pursue a brighter future in California with the love of his life, Eva (Moennig). But his scheme to score some fast cash gets him in trouble with the local Russian mob boss, who threatens to kill his father (Margulies) if he can’t come up with the money to pay him back.
With no other alternatives, Kaz hatches a novel plan to sell tickets to his own suicide in an attempt to save his father’s life. He’s surprised to find both the mobster and the neighborhood extremely supportive of the plan, not to mention his father. But even if he can sell the tickets, will he really go through with it? By the time this dark comedy reaches its surprising conclusion, Kaz learns that sometimes embracing death is the only way to a better life.
