Katrin Bowen’s Amazon Falls is a dismal tale about broken dreams and not knowing when to quit that tells the story of Jana (April Telek), a struggling and aging B-movie actress who’s still trying to make it in Los Angeles. Bowen herself, who resides in Vancouver, worked as a B-movie actress in L.A. when she was 18, and got the idea to make the film after Lana Clarkson, a mentor of hers, was found murdered.
Criticize This! spoke with Bowen about the film, which is playing at the Female Eye Film Festival on March 17, and opening in Toronto at the Carlton Cinema on March 18 and in Vancouver at the Denman Cinema on April 15.
