Q&A with director, Kai Ephron, after the screening.<\/h3>\n

A down on his luck couch-surfer,\u00a0Ben Solano, is kicked out of his home, fired from his job, has\u00a0his possessions stolen, is mugged, and then, finally, beat up. Only to be comforted by a homeless\u00a0man who\u00a0gives Ben a pair of\u00a0jeans that produce a $100 dollar bill every hour as long as Ben does not take them off.<\/p>\n

As Ben struggles to help his Dad, various\u00a0characters from his past interrupt the\u00a0journey.\u00a0To make matters worse, he’s\u00a0falling for Nova, a crime lord\u2019s daughter.\u00a0Together with his best friend, Miles, Ben evades LAPD\u2019s finest, traverses the\u00a0desert, and joins Nova in outsmarting Glitch, an\u00a0Australian drug thug.<\/p>\n

With the pacing of a Guy Richie film, Benjamin\u00a0Troubles<\/em> is a double-crossing ride for a down-on-his-luck twenty something who\u2019s only desire is to find a way out of his magic cash-machine.<\/p>\n
