Set entirely around the perspective of a 1964 Mercury muscle car, AUTOMOTIVE is an American neo-noir about Kansas, a man who must unravel a crime he may or may not have committed.
Automotive is a classic film noir set in present-day LA. The entire movie is seen from inside a car, the hero's 1964 Mercury Montclair. From its limited perspective (camera only inside the car) we piece together his criminal plans as they unravel. The movie begins as Kansas makes a getaway from a crime we never see. Is that a body he's putting in the trunk? He buries it in the desert night under headlights while a beautiful woman watches from the backseat. She is Lonely, his lover and accomplice... or is she? Kansas quickly finds himself in everyone's cross-hairs when Lonely's rich husband is suspiciously murdered. Did Kansas kill him? Or is he being set up? Can he trust the woman he loves?
