Canadian creator Avan Jogia does triple duty as writer, director, and actor in the gritty and super-stylish thriller DOOR MOUSE, a neo-noir fable following Mouse (Hayley Law), an irreverent dancer at a dead-end burlesque club run by Mama, a tough, shady club owner.

When Mouse’s only friends and fellow club dancers go missing under mysterious circumstances, nobody at the club seems too concerned about them, and the police couldn’t care less. Mouse and her constant sidekick Ugly quickly realize that it is up to them to dig up all the dirt and start the hunt for the culprits. Desperate for answers and with time running out, Mouse chooses a very risky play that plunges her further down the rabbit hole and into a sordid underworld, leaving her out in the open. What she discovers is that corruption runs deep, monsters are real, and that sometimes, justice is meant to be taken into your own hands. With Keith Powers, Donal Logue, Famke Janssen, Nhi Do.

Writer-director Avan Jogia will be joining us to introduce the film and participate in a post-show Q&A.

“‘Door Mouse’ is a slick neo-noir that adds a lot to a genre that we don’t get enough of.” (Film Inquiry)

“If there is any justice, ‘Door Mouse’ will garner the attention it deserves for being a well-defined narrative brought to life effectively.” (Screen Rant)

“There are few movies out there that reproduce the feel of reading a comic book so well, and maybe none better than ‘Door Mouse’.” (Original Cin)
