“As in so many noirs, the narrative complexity grows and grows—but, most likely, so will the viewer’s appreciation, especially of Eberle’s evident love of the films that inspired him.”

Dan Eberle’s Brooklyn noir Cut to Black has been selected to be the Closing Night Film at the 16th Annual Brooklyn Film Festival.
A summary of this year’s theme from the BFF site:
Brooklyn Film Festival (BFF) themed the 2013 edition:
MAGNETIC
MAGNETIC is a study on all those invisible forces that bring people together or push them apart. It is also our personal invitation to read between the lines while questioning the motives behind. MAGNETIC will be a showcase of smart, multi-layered, deceiving, manipulative, yet unseen films coming from all continents in search of a Brooklyn breakthrough.
Cut to Black will screen alongside films Hairbrained (with Brendan Frasier and Parker Posey), and Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes (with Jessica Biel and Alfred Molina).

Bill Ivers, a disgraced ex-cop, is hired by a wealthy former friend to rid his estranged daughter Jessica of a stalker. Soon, Bill finds himself interceding in Jessica’s increasingly complicated life, caught between the crushing debt of a dangerous loan shark, and the specter of her father’s shadowy past.
CUT TO BLACK is a story of desperate people living in the wake of bad choices, trying to make the most of what’s left of their time in this world.
Shot in lavish black and white tones, CUT TO BLACK is a gorgeous cinematic tribute to classic noir, set against stark, gritty urban modernity. Nobody gets away clean in this tough story of love, loyalty, and the inevitable conclusion we’re all headed for.
