DRY BONES Trailer and Screening Dates

Here is the trailer for DRY BONES, the horror comedy feature I wrote, directed and co-produced. Michael O'Hear is the star and co-director, and Debbie Rochon co-stars. Kevin VanHentenryck from the BASKET CASE films has a role. Most of the supporting cast - John Renna, Paul McGinnis, Kathy Murphy, Kim Piazza, Amelie McKendry, Jessica Zwolak, Bob Bozak, Alexander Sloan McBryde, Daniel Arrasjid and one Kaelin Lamberson - live in the Buffalo area. Tia Maurice and Jason Tannis are from Canada, and Matt Reese came in from Ohio. Phil Gallo, who composed the score for the original MOTHER'S DAY, edited the trailer as he did the movie. The score and version of "Dem Dry Bones" used in the trailer are by Sealcats; additional songs are provided by the Buffalo band Ookla the Mok and the husband and wife team Giasone Italiano and Marcy Italiano. The executive producer is writer/publisher John Maclay; other producers include my longtime partner Marc Makowski, actress Debra Lamb, Tim O'Hearn, Tim Walton, Chris Rados, Paul McGinnis, Daniel Arrasjid,"and the rest..."



I think the trailer is a good representation of the uncomfortable mixture of horror and comedy in the film, which has a real Indie flavor. I busted my hump on this one and have worked on it pretty tirelessly since we wrapped production, even while producing THE LEGEND OF SIX FINGERS, planning Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival, and writing The Frenzy Wolves, the final book in my werewolf trilogy The Frenzy Cycle.

Here is the first released photo of Lilim, the succubus in the film: makeup and costume took seven hours each day.



The invitational premiere for DRY BONES and THE LEGEND OF SIX FINGERS will be held at the Market Arcade Film and Arts Center in downtown Buffalo on Thursday, September 26th. DRY BONES will have its film festival premiere at PollyGrind film festival in Las Vegas on Friday, Oct. 11th. THE LEGEND OF SIX FINGERS will have two theatrical screenings at the Screening Room Cinema Cafe in Buffalo on Friday, Oct. 11th and Saturday, October 12th at 9:30 pm. DRY BONES will have a one week engagement at the Screening Room Friday, Oct. 18th - Friday, Oct. 26th. Independent films, independent releases!
