Zoe Cassavetes from Day Out Of Days

You know me. I love independence. Especially those that grasp onto an idea and push it beyond unlimited expectation. Zoe Cassavetes is just the writer, producer, director. Her new movie Day Out Of Days is perfectly ripe for a side of Hollywood still hidden in the closet. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut. Zoe Cassavetes grew up in Los Angeles and worked on many productions as a director, writer, producer and actress. In the 1990’s, she teamed up with friend Sofia Coppola to make the TV show High Octane, one of the first shows to be entirely shot in digital video. Zoe also did stints as a host of MTV’s House of Style, as well as assistant directing feature films. Several years later, Zoe moved to New York and directed her short film Men Make Women Crazy Theory which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival (2000). In 2007 she made her first feature film BROKEN ENGLISH, which also premiered at the Sundance Film Festival as well as numerous others around the world. Zoe has made numerous commercials for clients such as Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Disney, Petit Bateau, Lamarthe, Chaumet, Johnnie Walker and Old Navy as well as music videos for Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) and electro band Scratch Massive. As a photographer, Zoe works for high fashion magazines (Elle, New York Times, Liberation, Air France Madame) as well as many campaigns such as Dom Perignon and Martel. She has just completed a short film for Bombay Sapphire "The Other Side of the Game". Zoe's second feature Film "Day Out of Days" starring Alexia Landeau, Melanie Griffith, Cheyenne Jackson, Vincent Karthiser and Eddie Izzard was completed and featured at LAFF and Deauville International Film Festival in France and will be released early 2016. ABOUT DAY OUT OF DAYS Alexia Landeau, Melanie Griffith (Working Girl, Milk Money) and Eddie Izzard (Valkyrie, Hannibal), star in the captivating dramedy Day Out Of Days, available on Digital HD and On Demand February 23 from MarVista Digital Entertainment. Co-written by Landeau, alongside Director Zoe Cassavetes (Broken English), the “lofty, yet realistic portrayal of trying to survive in Hollyweird” (Cinemacy) also stars Christa B. Allen (“Revenge”), Cheyenne Jackson (“30 Rock,” “American Horror Story”), Vincent Kartheiser (“Mad Men”), Alessandro Nivola (American Hustle), Brooke Smith (The Silence of the Lambs, “Law and Order”), and Bellamy Young (“Scandal,” “Criminal Minds”). Mia Roarke (Landeau) bathed in the Hollywood spotlight during her younger years, but now as a forty-year-old actress, she is faced with the reality of an industry that no longer embraces her. Her agent wants to get rid of her; she’s strapped with her mother (her former manager) who is fighting personal demons; and her actor ex-husband has moved on to a new relationship and still finds Hollywood a favorable bedfellow. Struggling to recapture relevance in the cutthroat and youth-obsessed world of “The Business,” Mia may just be her own worst enemy. After experiencing some humiliating events, she is forced to confront her situation and determine what her next role in life will be. An official selection at the Deauville Film Festival (2015) and Los Angeles Film Festival (2015), the compelling feature will be available on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vimeo, VUDU and Xfinity, as well as On Demand with AT&T, Charter, Verizon and Vubiquity.
