George Kerr

George Kerr’s filmography is a wild little journey through some truly offbeat corners of indie cinema. This guy’s not exactly a household name, but if you’ve ever stumbled across “Double Down” from 2005, you know he’s got a knack for picking projects that are, let’s say, a bit out there. “Double Down” is this low-budget fever dream of a film—Las Vegas, hacking, government conspiracies, and a main character who talks to himself more than he interacts with anybody else. It’s kind of like if you mashed up “The Matrix” with a late-night infomercial and sprinkled in a little existential dread just for kicks. Then there’s “Running 4 President” (2009), which is honestly as chaotic as the title suggests. Kerr’s involvement in this one just adds to the bizarre charm. It’s a political satire, but not in the slick, Hollywood way—more like your uncle’s conspiracy theory blog came to life, complete with over-the-top characters and wild plot swings that leave you wondering if you accidentally took the wrong subway home. The movie doesn’t care if it makes sense; it just wants to entertain, and honestly, it kind of works. “Rose of Death” (2007) rounds out this trio, shifting gears into horror territory. It’s got that “we made this with five bucks and a dream” vibe, and Kerr’s performance fits right in. There’s blood, there’s drama, and there’s enough melodrama to keep you glued to the screen, if only just to see what’s going to happen next. Kerr’s resume might not be packed with blockbusters, but man, it’s never boring.
