“Urban Legends are everywhere” the text at the beginning of Lantern’s Lane tells us, before adding “But some are real”. And writer/director Justin Lareau (A Demon Within) based his script on a legend from his hometown of Watseka Illinois, but somehow in the retelling, it went from a ghost story to a slasher.
Layla left home to attend college, and like many young people never went back. Now, at the invitation of her old friend Missy she’s coming back for a visit.
She meets up with Missy and another old friend, plus a new addition to the group Shana (Sydney Carvill) at a bar. Drinks and reminiscing lead to the group heading out to the town’s haunted street, Lantern’s Lane. But there’s something a...

With Destination Marfa now on DVD and digital services, I had the opportunity to catch up with producer and co-star Stelio Savante to learn about how he got involved with the film, his favorite on set memories, working with Tony Todd, and more!
How did you get involved with Destination Marfa as a producer and one of the film's co-stars?
The project kept coming across my radar where it no longer felt coincidental. Often these projects and roles serendipitously chase you. It literally felt like a case of pronoia to me. So I reached out to Andy, we had a solid initial conversation and he sent me the script. At that point the hitchhiker role (Vincent) was still up for being retold and it fell into place very naturally. As a producer, I wanted to help Andy’s vision become fully realized and I reached out and brought in a...

The Cold War isn’t over. At least, within the confines of Christiano Dias’ award-winning short, “Hurricane,” it’s not.
Starring Lisa Roumain, Corey Page and David Jay, the short is a dark comedy set against the backdrop of the Cold War that chronicles a seemingly normal husband and wife’s unexpected encounter with a suspected Communist. It’s funny and sharp and charmingly relevant. Despite its period setting, for writer and director Dias, “Hurricane” couldn’t be a more timely outing.
“‘Hurricane’ was made as a direct result of my own illogical fears of the growing threat of terrorism in the United States,” Dias said in an official statement. “Much like the Cold War sparked the same fears of Communism in the 1950s, the growing threat of terrorism can lead many people to ‘over-react’ concerning these same insecurities. Additionally, some of the same feelings toward Russia and Communism as...
