DocuClub screenings: Committed

Still from Committed.

Our next DocuClub screening will take place on Wednesday, September 24, at 7 p.m., at Goldcrest Post (799 Washington Street, between Horatio and Gansevoort), in New York City’s West Village. Our moderator will be Ingrid Kopp, Director of the US office of Shooting People and writer of the independent film blog “From The Hip.”

Please join us as we screen Committed by Jon Cofinas. The documentary follows Joe, a garage-band musician with a history of mental illness, who falls in love with EnYu, a young woman from China whom he meets through the Internet. He travels to China to marry EnYu, and brings her to live with him and his father in his childhood home in New Jersey. The new relationship serves as a catalyst for Joe to reexamine his regime of prescription anti-depressants, and to take steps toward becoming a grown man and living an independent, healthy life. Take a look at a trailer for the film here.

Director Jon Cofinas was raised in suburban New Jersey. He lived in Chicago, where he performed stand-up comedy and studied improvisation with The Second City. Currently residing in Southern California, he has written and produced award-winning short films. Committed is his first feature-length documentary.
