The writer-director team of <\/span>Fabrice Gar\u00e7on<\/b> and <\/span>Kevin Ossona<\/b> \u2014 a.k.a. FGKO \u2014 returns to familiar underworld territory in their second feature, <\/span>Blazing Neon<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0 As usual, their hero, Yann, is caught in a web of criminal activity.\u00a0 Already on parole and up to his ears in debt, he plugs along from one petty theft to the next.\u00a0 But when a pair of gangster thugs threatens his life if he doesn’t pay up, Yann decides to take a job with the “big boys.”\u00a0 His task: to deliver Dara, a young Nigerian woman fresh off the boat and now in the clutches of a dangerous prostitution ring, to Spain.\u00a0 There, he’ll get his payoff.\u00a0 But Dara is not exactly easy cargo to move. She fights him tooth and nail, and her resistance will lead him far off his designated route.<\/span><\/p>\n

Often signing their works FGKO,<\/span> Fabrice Gar\u00e7on<\/b> and <\/span>Kevin Ossona<\/b> have made their reputation cowriting and co-directing gritty thrillers filled with mobsters and petty criminals, which take place in the seedy underbelly of French society. Their short films include <\/span>Cerb\u00e8re<\/span><\/i> (2012), <\/span>Iwaa<\/span><\/i> (2014) and <\/span>J’ai dix ans<\/span><\/i> (2015).\u00a0 Their first feature film <\/span>Thugocratie<\/span><\/i> (2015), the tale of an ex-con who’s trying to go straight, was a big winner at the Manchester Film Festival, nabbing the <\/span>Film of the Festival, Best Feature, Best <\/span>Director<\/span> and Best Actor prizes, before its release in France.\u00a0 <\/span>Second Souffle<\/span><\/i> (2018), their most recent short, tells the story of a former boxer who takes a young fighter under his wing.<\/span> \u00a0<\/span>Blazing Neon<\/i><\/b>, their second feature, is adapted from the novel <\/span>Du crepitement sous les neons<\/span><\/i> by R\u00e9my Lasource, a police officer writing under a pen name.\u00a0 Its French release is scheduled for 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/blazing-neon.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
