‘Two Hundred Thousand Dirty’ Theatrical Release January 2, 2015

/in , /by

Few things in life are more depressing than being stuck in a hopeless, dead-end job at a mattress store in a decaying urban strip mall. Native to this environment and products of outdated pop culture are Rob (Mark Greenfield) and Manny (Coolio), the unsuccessful, unrefined and uncouth sales force behind Affordable Mattress.

‘Two Hundred Thousand Dirty’ opens January 2, 2015 at Arena Cinema, 1625 N. Las Palmas Ave, Hollywood, CA www.arenasreen.com.
