- DirectorJulian GrantStarsLouie LawlessHannah PhelpsBrian ShawA musical Neo-Noir drama where a patsy is set up to take the fall for a kidnapping that leads to murder.

All singing, all-fighting - FLOST is a throwback to the crime films of yesteryear mixed with the music of Kevin Quain. Based on the writings of pulp-fiction writer Jed Ayres, FLOST is a mash up of film noir, musical drama and hard-hitting social injustice. Not for the faint of heart or humor.
