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)
Best Dramatic Feature (Canada International Film Festival)
Best Narrative Feature (WorldFest – Houston)

Filmmaker Chassidy Jade speaks about her Film @_BrownBallerina on #TheSashaMarinaShow!

The BROWN BALLERINA MOVEMENT is the brainchild of Chassidy Jade, CEO and founder of Crown Me Royal Labs. It's foundation - a short film entitled BROWN BALLERINA is the dynamic movie and epicenter of Jade's creative vision.

The filmmaker's mission is to defy stereotypes one plié at a time! Touching on issues of race, politics and social class BROWN BALLERINA explores the full spectrum of ballet, giving viewers a glimpse into a world that before now was inaccessible.

The filmmaker believes that viewers will be inspired by the story's universal messages of self-love and power found in defining one's personal path. More than a movie, BROWN BALLERINA is a movement, with a fast growing national fan base.

The film's lead, Maryann Payne brings BROWN BALLERINA to life. With over a decade
of experience, the dancer and actress received her primary training at Lulu Ballet in Los
Angeles as well as Boynton Beach's Southern Dance Theatre. Payne went on to attend
Dreyfoos School of the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach as well as the New World School of the Arts in Miami Beach. Years of dedication translated into irrefutable skill, earning the ballerina a scholarship to the Alvin Ailey Summer Intensive Program. Payne has also trained at the iconic Dance Theatre of Harlem and has been a featured dancer for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

By the age of 3, BROWN BALLERINA'S lead choreographer, Shanna Woods was already in love with dance. She has trained with the Alvin Ailey Summer Intensive Program and danced with Chicago's Deeply Rooted Dance Theatre. Currently a principle dancer at Cleo Park Dance Theatre in Denver, Woods credits dance with allowing her to see the world. She has performed in New York, New Zealand and countless places in between.

Filmmaker, Chassidy Jade believes that in addition to inspiring audiences to remain both physically and mentally fit, the BROWN BALLERINA MOVEMENT will encourage its followers to embrace their authentic selves. To quote Jade, "We're taught to relate, not to think for ourselves so that it's easy to find comfort in boxes that fit a specific character. Once you step outside that character, you become human."


The BROWN BALLERINA red carpet film premieres on Sunday, July 20th at the Little Haiti Cultural Arts Center, 212 NE 59th Terrace, Miami, FL. at Miami 6:00PM. Attendees of The Brown Ballerina Red Carpet will be treated to a world premiere of the film, live entertainment, signature cocktails, gourmet tapas and exclusive Brown Ballerina Swag!

Director & Producer of the BunnyMan Franchise, Carl Lindbergh on #TheSashaMarinaShow!

Carl Lindbergh attended California State University Long Beach and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in film production in 2000. Shortly after graduation, Lindbergh formed his first production company, ANOC productions i.e. A NO ONE CARES PRODUCTIONS. The company would primarily focus on the funding and production of his feature films.

Synopsis
The adventures of Joe and Bunnyman know no limit of bloodlust and carnage. Bodies pile up as Bunnyman indiscriminately slaughters anything that crosses his path in a mutually beneficial relationship that gives Joe plenty of beef jerky to sell in his local store.



About the Film
The Bunny Man character was inspired by the true story of an axe-wielding man in a bunny suit who terrorized residents of Fairfax County, Virginia in 1970.  Going wild with that inspiration, writer/director Carl Lindbergh and his company ANOC Productions created and released Bunnyman in 2011.  Despite mixed reviews, the film gained a sizable following and has been known to play back-to-back on the cable TV channel Chiller.
 


Bunnyman Massacre was completed in 2013 and it's obvious that the ANOC Productions crew took notes from the response to the first film -- This one is leaps and bounds (pun intended) ahead of the original in all aspects from the visual quality to the acting, direction, story, and horror elements.  Bunnyman Massacre premiered on Chiller over Easter weekend this year.
 
If you like your horror served with heaps of gore, lots of kills, memorable characters, and dashes of nudity, humor and general offensiveness, this film is certainly for you.  And with a third installment in production, Carl Lindbergh's bloody and furry creation is on track for true horror franchise status.
 
"Inspired by the fans requests, Bunnyman 2 aka The Bunnyman Massacre was born," explains Lindbergh. "With Bunnyman 2 we were able to realize the potential of Bunnyman 1, and at the same time create a franchise that will continue with Bunnyman 3 (which is currently in production.) What I appreciate with The Bunnyman Massacre is that we were able to make a film that really stands apart from all the countless slasher films, and deliver a film that is very unique."


 BUNNYMAN MASSACRE hopping its way to Home Video this August


Midnight Releasing is set to unleash the demented 
Bunnyman Massacre this August on DVD and VOD across North America.  Also known as "Bunnyman 2", the film is a drastically improved sequel to the 2011 cult hit Bunnyman which gained notoriety from a huge amount of press, as well as being in heavy rotation on the cable TV channel CHILLER.  Availability information is forthcoming.
