About DARK REEL:
The film's retro-style story combines horror, romance, a little humor, and surprise – a well written plot and recognizable cast. It's the story of the gruesome murder of 1950s starlet Scarlett May (Alexandra Holden). Fast forward to the modern day: Real life scream queen Tiffany Shepis plays Spotlight National Films' Scream Queen Cassie Blue. Mix in horror movie fan Adam Waltz (Edward Furlong) with a walk-on role, and several deaths and dismemberments later, he's the prime murder suspect. But is he the "reel" killer? The film also stars a bevy of beauties. In addition to Shepis, Mercedes McNab, Rena Riffel, Kate Orsini, Alexandra Holden are featured. Lance Henriksen, who plays the haunted studio head, Tracey Walter, and Tony Todd round out the suburb cast.

SYNOPSIS
Adam Waltz (ED FURLONG), a horror movie fan boy could only dream of rubbing elbows with his idols - those obscure actors who populate the posters on the walls within his dingy bachelor pad. When studio head Connor Pritchett (LANCE HENRIKSEN) handpicks him for a walk-on role in his latest B-movie PIRATE WENCH, starring reigning Scream Queen Cassie Blue (TIFFANY SHEPIS), Adam is convinced he's on the fast track to "industry" success. That dream begins to unravel when Adam finds himself a suspect in the bloody murder of one of the film's stars.

The pre-production has a back story even of its own. "Dark Reel" is a story in itself. Director Josh Eisenstadt (who is privileged and from a well-heeled suburb), ex-gang banger producer David Forline, and business savvy Jenapher Forline, and they make a movie. It turns out a really good one, too.
