OUT on DVD: 'Hawaii' and 'Cal'

Canteen Outlaws, the new film distribution label from Philadelphia’s TLA Entertainment, are set to release their two inaugural films, Hawaii and Cal, on February 18th on DVD and VOD. 

Berlinale Teddy Award winner Marco Berger’s third feature film, Hawaii follows Martin and Eugenio (Manuel Vignau and Mateo Chiarino), two former childhood friends who reunite during a hot summer in the Argentinean countryside. As they work together to restore Eugenio’s summer home, a game of power and desire ensues – forcing the two buddies to grapple with their sexual attraction and reconsider their relationship.

Cal is director Christian Martin’s follow-up to 2009’s hit film Shank and is an impassioned drama of a young man (Wayne Virgo) returning home to England from France to care for his ailing mother, as he searches for love and acceptance in a world seemingly devoid of compassion.
