A wannabe nobody crashes through identities like a drunk through glass doors.
MALACHANCE tells the tragic story of Mika (James Ransone) and his cohorts; the film was shot in Los Angeles and on location in New Orleans and NYC.
Acting
James Ransone's desperate, cringe-perfect desperation.
Direction
Naranjo's unflinching eye for human wreckage.

Three cities, one broken soul—gritty 16mm texture.
Director
Gerardo Naranjo
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gerardo Naranjo made this before MISS BALA put him on the map—same unflinching eye, zero budget.
Shot in 2004 but feels perpetually stuck in the 90s indie boom—think HARMONY KORINE without the irony.
