Witness the psychedelic horror of "THE CHOSEN ONE", a gorgeously shot B+W film featuring music by legendary doom metal band ELECTRIC WIZARD and beautiful classical score by Anthony DiLorenzo! The twisted story follows the tragic end of dreams for a happily married couple and their unfortunate plunge into a fiendish nightmare! A fun and entertaining ride through the annals of art horror, internal medicine, science, superstition, religious fever and politics that you will never forget!

Grand Jury Award Winner - Slamdance 2023 Jury's notes: “With idiosyncratic music choices, sibling chemistry out the wazoo, and a philosophical Brooklynite as the series lead (played by Howard Lester in his introductory role), Theodore Collatos’s Palookaville explores the surreal existence of JoJo, a man victimized by a random act of violence who now thinks he’s the famous defunct boxer/anti-fascist, Joe Louis. Will you believe that JoJo’s become the Brown Bomber? Doesn’t matter, because you will believe in Palookaville.”
