Bodies, Rest & Motion -- Stuck in a drab Arizona community, four members of the twentysomething generation mull over the emptiness of their lives and try to connect with each other. Relationships end and begin, homes are abandoned and created, jobs lost, lovers found, and crimes committed in this comedy/drama.

A quiet, unassuming man brings new life to a small town when the residents learn he has come there to kill himself. As the people he encounters examine their own lives and feelings about death, they gently try to convince Julian Po to continue living in this humorous drama about life and death. Starring Christian Slater ("True Romance," "Interview with the Vampire"), Robin Tunney ("Vertical Limit," "End of Days") and Golden Globe-nominee and Emmy Award-winner Allison Janney ("American Beauty," TV's "The West Wing").

Mysterious wanderer Julian Po enters a hermetic small town that hasn't admitted strangers inside its city since the Civil War. While the vexed locals try to make sense of this, he lets loose with a bizarre confession, he's come to kill himself.

Nick (Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominee Tim Roth - "Rob Roy," "Pulp Fiction") has always dreamed of moving to Butte, Montana. Today, he loses his job as a TV salesman and decides it's time to move. He tells his girlfriend Beth (Bridget Fonda "Jackie Brown," "Kiss of the Dragon"), but when Sid (Golden Globe-nominee Eric Stoltz "Mask," "Pulp fiction") comes to paint the couple's house for the new tenants, Sid and Beth get stoned, hang out and become instantly attracted to each other. By morning Sid is in love and begs Beth to stay with him in this Gen-X tale of the conflict between the need for security and the desire for adventure--a tale of Bodies, Rest and Motion.
