Trivia

Frank Latini, a friend of Myers' father, gave Director Erik Kristopher Myers a copy of John Waters' Female Trouble (1974) when he was fourteen, introducing him to no-budget Baltimore-based film making. The film had a major influence on Myers, and introduced him to prolific character actor 'George Stover', who plays the prison chaplain who walks 'Divine' down the last mile at the end of Female Trouble. Myers finally had the opportunity to work with Stover on Roulette as Dr. Temple. The day Stover's scenes were shot just happened to be the day Frank Latini cameoed in the support group.

User Reviews

An excellent no budget indy film!

As an independent filmmaker, I've seen a number of films that were poorly written and poorly executed. ROULETTE is NOT one of those films! For having absolutely no budget, it was well written, well acted, well shot, and well directed. Director Erik Kristopher Myers had a very clear vision of what he wanted this film to look and feel like and it shows in the final product. The lead actors, Ali Lukowski, Will Haza, and Mike Baldwin, gave a fantastic performance. The people voting this at one star must not be familiar with indy films. I've seen indy films that had a seven figure budget and were terrible. I highly recommend adding this film to your personal collection.
