What happens

Allure is a 2014 independent feature film written, directed and edited by Vladan Nikolic. It is based on true stories. Filmmakers and performers - actors and non-actors - worked together to flesh out the story and protagonists. All scenes and dialogue in the film were improvised. Some scenes were shot with actors participating in the actual Occupy Wall Street protests of 2011 and 2012. The film premiered at the 2014 Black Nights film festival in Tallinn, Estonia, where it was nominated for best North American Independent feature film, and had a limited release in the US in March 2015, followed by on video-on-demand and online streaming in the Fall of 2015.
