About the film: 1h25min - Comedy - Not Rated - English
Can’t Let It Go is a comedy set in New York on the eve of the 2016 election. It is the first film to depict the post-election hangover that many New Yorkers had in a humorous way. Simply put, it's a microcosm of all the uncomfortable and sometimes volatile conversations you've been having with friends and family over the last few years.

There are five vignettes featuring zany New York characters and their quirky, Seinfeld-esque interactions: an African American gay man being paid as a Trump stand in, a Hillary Clinton campaign worker moonlighting as a dominatrix, a blue collar independent looking to start a kosher laundromat, a conservative Cuban émigré and his socialist daughter, a top Trump campaign worker and his apolitical model girlfriend, and a left wing, dog hating activist who yearns to play John Wilkes Booth.

A native New Yorker, Roy Szuper initially started working in live music production where he found the topic for his first documentary. “Concert Joe: A New York Story” (IMDB).   A fusion of comedy and music inspired by “This is Spinal Tap,” the film follows one man’s ridiculous quest to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for seeing the most concerts. The film was featured on MTV and VH-1.  Szuper’s next short film was a more personal story titled “Charcoal”(IMDB) that was based on an event that happened to his family in the days after 9/11. It screened in Cannes and Buenos Aires in 2007.

Szuper’s first feature, “Gonzo Music Diaries, NYC” (IMDB) was a documentary that featured Tom Morello, Michael Franti, Vernon Reid, and CGGB’s founder Hilly Kristal. Gonzo was screened at Anthology Film Archive’s New Filmmakers Series, CBGB’S,  and Vision Du Reel DocFest in Switzerland. Szuper’s documentary short “Revolution in Motion,” about a car that runs on air, was profiled in the Daily News in 2009.

In addition to Can’t Let It Go, Szuper has recently finished his first novel titled “Rites of Passage: Evolution of A Rock n’ Roll Dad”, which is loosely based on his life as a single father in New York. Learn more at szuperfilms.com.
