Showing at a Chicago area Film Festival March 3rd & 4th.

The mission at the Lake County Film Festival is to find promising talent to expose to a wider audience. This audience includes not only people who attend the festival, but also the independent-film-loving clientele of our local retail store. As film lovers, we feel it is important for filmmakers to know what their audiences are thinking.

Keep Your Distance will be showing at 10pm at the Liberty Theatre on Friday March 3rd and Saturday March 4th.

The Plot:

In the perfectly normal town of Louisville, KY, there is a perfectly normal man living the perfect life. GIL BELLOWS stars as David Dailey - a man who has it all: A great career, a community that adores him, and an enduring marriage. But beneath the surface, David’s idyllic world is crumbling. He’s haunted by a series of mysterious notes that warn of an imminent fall from grace. His sultry wife Susan (KIM RAVER) is hell-bent on expanding the horizons of their sex life - with or without him. His longtime assistant Whit (JAMIE HARROLD) is gunning for his job. And he finds himself increasingly attracted to Melody Carpenter (JENNIFER WESTFELDT), a curious stranger he instinctively trusts because she doesn’t know him well enough to betray him. Complicating matters, Melody’s jilted boyfriend Sean (CHRISTIAN KANE), a charming and talented trust fund baby, regards David and Melody’s fledgling friendship with contempt. As his jealousy seethes deeper, he concocts a devious plan to win her back, unaware his overly protective father (STACY KEACH) has ordered his number one ally (ELIZABETH PEÑA) to keep an eye on everyone involved. As David and Melody grow closer, they discover they have much in common - including the maddening suspicion they’re each being stalked - and are plunged into a harrowing web of desire, deceit, and paranoia. Suddenly, the man everyone loves fears everyone has a reason to bring him down. As his perfect life veers further and further off course, David is about to learn that the biggest danger of having it all is having everything to lose.
