- Scheme C6 is film #6 in the 9 feature film 9@Night Film Series, a 14 1/2 hour epic film cycle from Rob Nilsson's Tenderloin yGroup, 1996- 2007. Bid Qualquivir, (Cory Duval) a self-styled urban commando who lives life by his own rules, sleeping in alleys chained to his motorcycle, taunts his cop father, Qually (Bruce Marovich) with his high speed escapades while secretly longing to bring together his broken family. His girlfriend Yves, (Monica Cortes Viharo) is even more independent than he is, until a tragedy makes them realize what they're missing. The 9@Night Series films features 40-50 fictional characters from the Tenderloin yGroup providing a crazy quilt of interlocking circumstances which develop over the entire cycle. All characters are portrayed by the same players and may appear in any number of films, the lead in one, supporting player in another. The series was awarded the San Francisco Film Critics Circle Marlon Riggs award in 2008.—Rob Nilsson
- Made in San Francisco with members of the Tenderloin yGroup, an improvisatory acting workshop that includes homeless people, this 2001 video centers on a young man "Bid Qualquivir"(Cory DuVal) from a rich but shady family who chooses a life of petty crime after hearing rumors that his father had his brother murdered. The actors' riffs provide the best moments, like the pathetically amateurish rap about AIDS a would-be music promoter lays down for the family's uncomprehending patriarch. But the subplot-laden script is too calculated and melodramatic, and director Rob Nilsson's mannered video-effects (frames within frames, color mixed with black and white) work against the documentary feel and the actors' raw sincerity. 97 min.
