Trixie
The best private detective in the biz
Directed by Alan Rudolph
Produced by Sandcastle 5, Pandora Cinema
A quirky, character-driven mystery-comedy set in a casino underworld where a traumatized security guard navigates colorful personalities and romantic entanglement while investigating a crime.
Passed over at work and numbed after she witnesses a colleague's murder, security guard Trixie Zurbo takes a relatively easy job at a lakefront casino, working undercover keeping an eye out for pickpockets. Trixie meets an assortment of colorful regulars: Kirk Stans, the casino's lounge act who drinks too much and is a dead-on mimic; Ruby Pearli , a glamorous, young and knowledgeable barfly; and Dex Lang, a raffish ladies' man who pays attention to Trixie in a way that's hard for her to ignore.
