Documentary Film The Heart of Bruno Wizard Directed by Elisabeth Rasmussen

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 11, 2014 -- In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloe Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of the ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can’t stand idly by - he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have no where else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.

More information about the entire September 20th, 2014 NewFilmmakers LA Film Festival program including 'The Equalizer', the documentary feature film and the 14 short films can be found below.
