Filmmaker Nicholas Gyeney (@MirrorImages) speaks about his recent Film on #TheSashaMarinaShow!

Nicholas is a Director & Screenwriter from Seattle, Washington to Hungarian parents on July 15th, 1986. Since childhood, Nicholas avidly immersed himself in the world of motion pictures with the indelible influence of his father, Örs Gyeney. Every weekend, Örs would sit down with Nicholas to show him new films like Star Wars, The Terminator series, and the adventures of James Bond. Sadly, the tradition ended in 1998 when Nicholas’ father died tragically. Fueled by his loss, Nicholas started diving deeper into movies than ever before and soon discovered his calling as a filmmaker.
Throughout high school, Nicholas completed numerous short films, with most continuing on to win best picture and best director awards from his school’s film department. At the age of 17, Nicholas wrote and directed his first feature-length student film, which he submitted to the University of Southern California in hopes of being accepted into their prestigious film program. To his surprise and elation, he was not only accepted but granted a full-ride scholarship.
At age 20, while continuing his studies at the USC Film School, Nicholas began work on his first independent film, an ultra-low budget schlock thriller called “The Falling.” The film premiered in Seattle on December 21, 2006 to a crowd of 600 people who gathered to witness the local filmmaker’s artistic endeavor. Shortly after, the film found distribution and began paving the road for Nicholas to establish relationships with many of the industry’s most successful professionals.
In 2008, with USC and his first feature behind him, and after three years developing and sharpening his abilities as a filmmaker, Nicholas wrote, produced, and directed his 2nd feature and first theatrically released film, “The Penitent Man,” which has been highly acclaimed for its unique structure and style. “The Penitent Man” stars Lance Henriksen (Aliens, The Terminator, Millennium), and Andrew Keegan (10 Things I Hate About You), and is available on Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and other digital platforms.
Nicholas directed his third feature, a dark comedy called, “Matt’s Chance” starring Edward Furlong, Lee Majors, Margot Kidder, and Gary Busey. After a successful film festival tour that garnered critical acclaim and several awards for best picture, acting, and original score, “Matt’s Chance” is now on its way to worldwide release.
As Nicholas prepares his next directorial effort in the coming months, he is quickly establishing himself as one of the top filmmakers in the Northwest.

Official Synopsis: A darkly comedic tale of love, revenge, and the fickle nature of human morality.
Enter Matt, a down-on-his-luck loser who on his birthday night discovers his fiancée, Jessica, in bed with another man. As Matt learns the true depth of Jessica’s betrayal, he begins a downward spiral revenge quest that pits him face to face with a wide array of characters including an eccentric pawn shop owner (Gary Busey), an aging stripper (Margot Kidder),and a barber with an agenda (Lee Majors).

MATT'S CHANCE stars Edward Furlong (Terminator, American History X), Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon), Margot Kidder (Superman), and the legendary Lee Majors (The Fall Guy)!

Awards include:
Best Feature Film (New York International Film Festival)

Best Feature Film (Bloody Hero International Film Festival)

Best Feature Film (JamFest Independent Film Festival)

Interview w/ Writer & Director of #SlewHampshire Flood Reed on #TheSashaMarinaShow #BlogTalkRadio

      Flood Reed is primarily recognized as a vibrant circus performer, though he occasionally makes appearances in children's nightmares and LSD-induced hallucinations. After his controversial lifetime ban from competition during the '98 Olympic trials, this former amateur biathlete ran a short-lived "Glocks and Socks" franchise before becoming a successful bicep model under the tutelage of Dr. Franco Columbo. He's the former host of the underground Central American game show "Gay! Cop! Mustache!" and has worked opposite some of Hollywood's finest actors, including Academy Award nominee Gary Busey and 4-time Razzie Award nominee Jessica Alba.

As a filmmaker, Flood was a Top 50 Director finalist during Season 2 of HBO's "Project Greenlight" and won awards for his first low-budget indie film "Mutual Admiration Society." Having recently come off a stint as the touring documentarian (and Master of Ceremonies) for the Chernobyl Meltdown Circus Sideshow, Flood continues to branch out behind the lens, as well. He's directed projects produced by the likes of Drew Barrymore, Tyrese Gibson, Mark Brown, and guitar maestro Wes Borland, and has several original screenplays in development for 2010 and beyond.

A multi-talented entertainer and performance artist, Flood has studied under Boston-based acting guru (and Matt Damon's mentor) Gerry Speca and alongside Chris Pine and Simon Helberg at the Antaeus Theatre Company in North Hollywood, CA.

His Film "Slew Hampshire" has been nominated for 3 awards at the upcoming Shockfest Film Festival 2014!

"In June of 1994, one of the most brutal mass slaughters in history occurred in the woods of northern New England.  Four months later, history is about to repeat itself. 
The end of summer signals the brink of manhood for a group of 18-year-old boys who proudly call New Hampshire their home.  Led by Buddy - once regarded as a major league pitching prospect - the boys embark on a local rite of passage, traveling north for one final weekend of debauchery in Canada.  Unfortunately, it may just be their final weekend, period - as this rite goes very wrong.
Along the way, the boys pick up Bro, their most intelligent (and ONLY African-American) friend, who is about to embark on an academic career at Dartmouth College.  Where his right hand once resided is now a stump, and while this painful reminder of a terrible accident signifies a darker time, little does he realize what it will come to signify to those whom he encounters in the backwoods of New Hampshire. 
Henry David Thoreau once wrote, 'Not till we are completely lost or turned 'round do we appreciate the vastness and strangeness of nature.'  Unfortunately for the boys, just being lost would be a luxury compared to what they are about to experience - as there is nothing to be appreciated about what nature has in store for them on this night."
