Synopsis
Adapted from the critically acclaimed New York stage play presented by Tom Noonan, LOSING GROUND unfolds in real-time over a single night in a Las Vegas video-poker bar where seven people come in, interact, strike up friendships of convenience, win, lose, and go home.

Bryan Wizemann’s haunting and elegiac feature film debut is a contemporary portrait of ritual and superstition, intimacy and estrangement. In direct contrast with the current zeitgeist of a Las Vegas myth, LOSING GROUND is a personal and closely observed work on the addictions of human nature.

“…dialogue with a realistic sense of desperation…his characters seem trapped under microscope
slides on the screen. What makes Losing Ground compelling is how Wizemann subtly transcends the clichés of the addiction film. It leads us down a familiar path, but its power is in the journey, not the destination. It is well worth seeing if given the chance.”
