Tweek City (2005): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2005, Tweek City is a drama film directed by Eric G. Johnson, running about 86 minutes. “When there's nowhere else left to go.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Tweek City is a week in the life of Bill, a potentially closeted, half-Latino, small-time speed dealer in San Francisco's Mission District. Bill is stuck on an endless walk from one empty experience to the next. Only Bill's friend Jerm has the ability to connect and ground him in reality. When Jerm makes an ill-advised stage dive, Bill plunges into a downward spiral that takes him on a nocturnal journey through the streets of San Francisco and ultimately down to Los Angeles where he crashes his high school sweetheart's wedding. From his sleep-deprived, hallucinogenic state, Bill fails miserably in a desperate attempt to reconnect with his first and only love. With nowhere else to go, Bill jacks a car and ends up at the deserted drive-in theater of his childhood where he is forced to confront the ghosts that he had tried to leave behind.

Who’s in it. Tweek City stars Giuseppe Andrews as Bill Jensen, Keith Brunsmann as Jerm, Eva Fisher as Jenna and Demetrius Navarro as Ramon, among others.
