99 Pieces Wraps & Is Hitting the Festival Trail
After almost a year since it's a wrap, Falcons Productions “99 Pieces” has a busy Halloween season lined up. Since it's completion in January, the film has already taken home the award for Best Horror Film of the Year by the Bare Bones International Film Festival and an Official Selection at the Independent Features Film Festival at the world famous Tribeca Cinemas in NYC.
The first weekend in October (Oct 7th, – 8pm) marks the Third Official Selection at the Shriekfest Horror Film Festival in Hollywood, CA, where the film screens for audiences at the beautiful Chaplin Theatre located inside Raleigh Studios, the longest continuously operating studio in the country. The second weekend in October (Oct 14th – 5:30pm) marks the Fourth Official Selection for the film, which screens at the Spooky Movie Film Festival in Washington D.C. Spooky Movie calls the film Claustrophobic, intense with superb acting and direction.
Following up in D.C, the third weekend in October (October 19th and 20th) the film receives it’s Fifth Official Selection in Tampa Florida at the 5th Annual Halloween Horror Picture Show which will be held among a special Halloween treat for guest because the festival is now part of an annual Halloweenapalooza; a weekend filled with films, tricks, treating, games and much more. Taking a break for a few weeks until the second weekend in November (November 16th-18th) “99 Pieces” takes the honored spot among many other great films with it’s Sixth Official Selection at the After Dark Films and Bloody-Disgusting Horror Hound Weekend in Indianapolis. In it’s second year the festival contains more than 25 guests ranging from John Landis to Gunnar Hansen.
Finishing up it’s festival run, Writer/Director/Star - Anthony Falcon will be attending the coveted Beloit International Film Festival running January 17th-20th 2008. The Beloit Festival will mark the Seventh Official Selection. The Beloit festival has been called, “One of the four alternatives to Sundance”, by the New York Times as well as “a must see event” and “the next big thing” by Movie Maker Magazine.
“99 Pieces” tells the story of Joshua Licet who must lock board himself in his home for 40 days and nights while he must live through the loss of food, water, electricity and much more, while discovering a puzzle of lies and deception about himself, his wife and his family.
Falcon recently said, “the press, screenings and acclaim that “99 Pieces” is taking home shows you it’s not all about the body count and bloodshed; a quality audience still loves a good story as much as a dead body. As long as people continue to watch, I’ll keep giving them more story and twist than bloodshed and bodies.”
