POSE DOWN is a dark comedy set in Southwest Florida revolving around three
former high school classmates –THE BODYBUILDER, THE GOOD OL' BOY and THE
HOMECOMING QUEEN - whose lives become entangled after the airing of a
tabloid news program.
POSE DOWN's twisted journey begins with a MacGuffin about a Killer
Bodybuilder BRIAN DECK and slowly shifts into a story about his high school
sweetheart, MARLENA GATE, who returns to her hometown to bury both her
estranged mother and her past. POSE DOWN – one element of a bodybuilding
competition where all the competitors face off against one another
simultaneously - becomes a metaphor for the characters living and working in
a small Southwest Florida town, particularly for our main protagonist,
Marlena, who must literally "pose down" her past in order to look to a
better future.
POSE DOWN is an unconventional film with a very distinct aesthetic and
personal style. It deals with themes and issues shared by many women
struggling for independence and searching for an identity. The film also
does a provocative balancing of the funny and ironic with the sad and
tragic. The film continues along a similar thematic journey with
writer/director ERIKA YEOMANS' other short films and videos (Paging Dr.
Freud, Chubby Buddy, The Forgery, In Search of Bas Jan's Miraculous).
