A private detective recaps his investigations on the murder of the town mayor, who was mysteriously murdered in his own home during a New Year’s Eve party. The detective, Inspector Sullivan, travels to the scene of the crime in an attempt to find a substantial amount of evidence in order to uncover the murderer. Without any hard evidence, he chooses to interrogate the three accused suspects. ‘New Year Noir’, a short film directed and produced by Luis Lorenzo, is a B&W homage to the ‘Film Noir’ genre as well as to 1940’s-50’s cinema. The film is based in the year 1958 and is keyed toward period accuracy as well as the use of historical props from that era.
