Sex. Drugs. Violence. And true Love in Rio de Janeiro.

Two Twelve Productions just launched a Kickstarter campaign for their feature, "Me + You." It’s a thrilling drama about an American girl who travels to Brazil and falls in love with a drug dealer from the favelas. It's gritty, fast-paced, a lá “City of God” and “Natural Born Killers.”

Last year, the filmmaker Iyin Landre went to Brazil by herself with just two email contacts in her pocket. Through sheer drive and determination, she pulled together an amazing 1 minute trailer so she can come back to raise the funding.
You can check out the Kickstarter video as well as the 1 minute trailer here:
 
In addition to a thrilling story, this project is unique and news worthy because Landre is Taiwanese-American. With the lack of both female and Asian-Amerian filmmakers, this proves to be an exciting project because she is breaking stereotypes and defying the odds. In addition, the film is also going to be shot in Brazil and with the country hosting the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016, there's going to be a lot much heat coming from all things Brazil -- like "Me + You."
