CAP CITY, a neo-noir crime thriller, is set to enter the festival circuit later in 2025. Written by Max Allan Collins (ROAD TO PERDITION; Cinemax’s QUARRY) and directed by David Wexler (KILLING THEM SOFTLY; MTV’S COLLEGE LIFE), it stars Erica Munoz (HBO’S LONG GONE BY). Adapted by Collins and Wexler from a novella by legendary Mike Hammer creator Mickey Spillane and Collins, the film largely takes place in a hotel suite where the mayor of a corrupt eastern city has been murdered. The cast includes numerous familiar faces from the East Coast acting scene, including director Wexler himself. Shot in black-and-white in the film noir tradition.

This, the first public screening of CAP CITY, is part of alternating Current, an annual art, film, music, and comedy festival held in the Quad Cities, including Davenport, Iowa, from August 14-17, 2025. The festival transforms downtown areas into a vibrant hub with over 200 performances and events across more than 40 venues. It celebrates the creative culture of the Quad Cities, featuring a mix of local and national artists.
