PRESS RELEASE

Cineville Presents
STEAL ME
Coming To Theatres Fall 2005

Cineville presents a Picture Entertainment production, STEAL ME written and directed by Melissa Painter (Admissions, Wildflowers), produced by Carl Colpaert and Lee Caplin. STEAL ME will be released on September 16, 2005 in New York, Los Angeles and will open in select cities following.

In STEAL ME writer/director Melissa Painter (Admissions, Wildflowers) has crafted a refreshingly honest portrayal of relationships - sexual and otherwise - around a 15-year-old kleptomaniac, Jake (Danny Alexander), who arrives in a small Montana town searching for his prostitute mother.

In the course of Jake’s troubled search for his mother, he befriends Tucker (Hunter Parrish), a corn-fed local boy who catches Jake red-handed stealing the radio right out of his truck. After a foot chase and a brief scuffle, the boys ultimately become friends, discovering that each has something the other wants -- Jake has a quiet mystery and total freedom, while Tucker has stability and a happy home. At first, Jake brings Tucker out of his shell, convincing him to pursue his longtime crush, the sexually wise, Lily Rose (Paz de la Huerta). However, when Tucker’s family nervously takes Jake in and he begins to become deeply involved with the people of the town, things grow complicated.

STEAL ME had its World Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2005 and went on to win the best director award for Melissa Painter at The Method Festival in Los Angeles. STEAL ME also was the Opening Night film for the Brooklyn Film Festival where it won the Spirity award and was in competition at the prestigious Seattle International Film Festival.

Cineville presents a Picture Entertainment production, STEAL ME written and directed by Melissa Painter (Admissions, Wildflowers), produced by Carl Colpaert and Lee Caplin. The film stars newcomer Danny Alexander as Jake as well as Hunter Parrish (Down in the Valley, Weeds, the upcoming TV series), Paz de la Huerta (A Walk to Remember) and Cara Seymour (Adaptation, Evergreen).

STEAL ME will be released on September 16, 2005 in New York, Los Angeles and will open in select cities following. Running Time is 95 minutes and it is not yet rated.
