Filmmakers Issam B. and Terry Eubanks-Makdissy in Person!

Liars Dice is described by the filmmakers as “A portrait of dangling fringes of lives interwoven beyond design... a stark, hard-edged film of disconcerting honesty.
“‘Dirty old man.' Betrayed by society and friends. Accused, Joe reels in anger. ‘I'm a man, damn it. Can't you see it?' He refuses the isolation, the lack of purpose, that has numbed those around him. Joe's passion, his needed sustenance, expires as the face of the young cocktail waitress shows no trace of understanding. He had loved her. He had done everything he could for her. She had thought him harmless if she thought at all. Her mind was on a married man whose needs could not be reconciled.”
Directed by Isamm B. Makdissy, a Lebanese graduate film student at San Francisco State University, and written by Terry Eubanks-Makdissy, a graduate of U.C. Berkeley's Art Department (who also stars in the film), Liars Dice was shot on location in the Bay Area. Most of the crew were students at SFSU and the actors were local talent, including one professor of Theater Arts at SFSU, Robert Ede (stage name).
