TRE, was written by Kimberly-Rose Wolter and Byler as an unofficial sequel to Byler’s “Charlotte Sometimes“. Kimberly-Rose Wolter’s supporting character from “Charlotte Sometimes” is the central character in TRE, while Charlotte Sometimes leads Michael Idemoto and Matt Westmore each make cameos. Here’s the synopsis of TRE:

Tre (Daniel Cariaga), a slacker, uses his brains, not his brawn, to seduce a woman seeking revenge against her husband. The woman, a brassy but vulnerable actress/waitress named Nina (Alix Koromzay), moved out of the house after discovering that her husband had kissed another woman…for ten seconds.

Nina’s more stable and responsible friend Kakela (Kimberly-Rose Wolter) plays host and witness to their illicit affair. Seeing Nina fall from grace, Kakela begins to question her own devotion to her fiancé, Gabe (Erik McDowell).

It is Tre who proposes the perfect experiment to test Kakela’s love for Gabe. The experiment only lasts for ten seconds, but it sparks a chain reaction that would change their lives forever.

In his third feature film, acclaimed writer/director Eric Byler (“Americanese” and “Charlotte Sometimes”) explores the relevance of social institutions such as marriage, work, love and family in an era where lies and corruption were rewarded over honesty and the rule of law. Sexual temptation and moral ambiguity are the only constants in Byler’s searing sequel to his critically acclaimed, surprise nominee of the 2003 Independent Spirit Awards, “Charlotte Sometimes.”

TRE won the Special Jury Prize at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival and was also the Official Selection for the Hawaii International Film Festival, Denver Starz, and the DC APA Film Festival. The DVD includes deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes documentary, Q&A with Eric Byler, Eric Byler’s student film “Kenji’s Faith”, and more.

For those in NYC, there will be a special screening tomorrow at The Imaginasian Theater in NYC.
