Cooper Raiff to Direct "THE TRASHERS" for 30WEST

 


"THE TRASHERS"

30WEST BOARDS COOPER RAIFF’S NEXT FEATURE

 
Los Angeles, CA - August 25th, 2021 - 30WEST has attached to executive produce and finance the feature film The Trashers based on a remarkable true story also profiled in Netflix’s new docu-series “Untold.” Cooper Raiff, whose directorial debut Shithouse won the SXSW Grand Jury Prize for Best Narrative Feature, will direct from a script by Adam R. Perlman (“Billions”), with current revisions by Raiff.

The feature will shoot in the first half of 2022. Raiff is currently in production on PictureStart’s Cha Cha Real Smooth which he wrote, directs, and co-stars in alongside Dakota Johnson and Leslie Mann and is co-writing the TV adaptation of Naoise Dolan’s acclaimed debut novel “Exciting Times” which will star Phoebe Dynevor for Black Bear and Amazon Studios.

Producers include Tom McNulty of MC2 Entertainment and Andrew Morrison of Yellow Bear Films, who also serve as executive producers on “The Trashers” episode of “Untold,” titled “Crimes and Penalties.”  Micah Green, Dan Steinman and Dan Friedkin will executive produce for 30WEST alongside Jon Wertheim and writer Adam R. Perlman. AJ Galante, on whose life-rights the story is based, serves as an associate producer.

The Trashers follows Jimmy Galante, a Danbury, Connecticut businessman who in 2004 bought the city’s minor league hockey team and assigned his teenage son to run it. The team’s unexpected rise to fame came to an abrupt end with Galante’s arrest on 72 criminal charges.

Cooper Raiff is repped by ICM Partners.

30WEST’s recent projects include Kevin Macdonald’s The Mauritanian starring Jodie Foster, whose performance earned a 2020 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress, Mindy Kaling’s comedy Late Night and last summer’s Netflix water-cooler sensation “Tiger King.” The company is in post-production on Violence of Action starring Chris Pine, Kiefer Sutherland, and Ben Foster, and directed by Tarik Saleh, which STX will release wide this December.

This terrifying event sends them on a wild ride full of interdimensional entities, scary little girls, and crippling insecurities about the future.

CHOMPY & THE GIRLS was written and directed by Skye Braband and was produced by Sarah De Leon (Citizen Skull Management), Marty Lang (film professor at the University of Memphis), and Skye Braband (Zig Zag Pictures). Executive producer is Mark Myers of Citizen Skull Productions.

The cast of CHOMPY & THE GIRLS features Christie St. John (‘Jackson’), Steve Marvel as (‘Sam’), Seneca Palliotta (‘Birch’), Julie Dolan (‘Deborah’), Hari Williams (‘Lotus’), Reggie Koffman (‘Chompy’), and a special appearance by Udo Kier (‘voice of Chompy’).

Everyone involved in the production cared deeply about making CHOMPY & THE GIRLS, and the heart we all put into it shows.”

Small Town Monsters Dissects a Cajun Werewolf Tale in "SKINWALKER: THE HOWL OF THE ROUGAROU" -- Watch The Trailer HERE!

 


Small Town Monsters Heads to Louisiana to Investigate the Mythical Skinwalker

"Skinwalker: The Howl of the Rougarou" Debuts September 14 on VOD, Blu-ray & DVD

Latest Doc Blends Found-Footage Style Recreations With Authentic Interviews with Real Witnesses

 

Wadsworth, OH - For centuries, stories have persisted throughout the southern swamps of something truly otherworldly: a terrifying, hirsute creature known by locals as the Rougarou. These legends predate the first immigrant settlers who made their way into the murky waters and dark forests of the south, yet the Rougarou has only recently made its way into pop culture via appearances in horror films, a regional festival and even a roller coaster ride. 

Skinwalker: The Howl of the Rougarou will be available to purchase or rent on September 14th on a number of platforms from 1091 Pictures, including iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu and FandangoNOW. Small Town Monsters will also release a special edition Blu-ray ($18.99) and DVD ($14.99) from their official store.


WATCH THE TRAILER:


 

Small Town Monsters and director Seth Breedlove peel back the curtain on this unheralded beast in their latest documentary Skinwalker: The Howl of the Rougarou. 

Breedlove interviewed witnesses and local experts who help to unveil the creature who will be featured in this first-ever look at what is often referred to as the Cajun Werewolf. 

The Rougarou has been long thought to simply be a folktale told to keep children out of the forests after dark, but many around southern Louisiana believe they’ve encountered a real, flesh and blood werewolf. 

 


Do real werewolves exist? In the American south legends tell of encounters with a creature that stalks the swamps and bayous. A creature who was here long before the immigrants who settled the region. An ancient evil called the Rougarou. 

Legends tell of a cannibal tribe of shapeshifters who retreated deep into the forests where they slowly lost touch with their humanity. A tribe who went on to become something far darker; a skinwalker. 

Now, nearly 400 years since the legend of the Rougarou first began to circulate, people are encountering the creature once again. The truth behind these vicious, horrifying brushes with the unknown will make your blood run cold. Does the Rougarou still stalk the swamps of southern Louisiana? The truth may surprise you...

Great 3 Stooges Running Gag: "Heads Or Tails?" (video)

 


The Stooges all flip a coin and decide that the odd man loses.

Sometimes Moe and Larry pull a fast one on unsuspecting Curly.

Sometimes Moe hoodwinks the other two.

And sometimes a third (fourth?) party gets the business!

Great 3 Stooges Running Gag: "Doorknob Tooth Pull" (video)

 


To help pull out the third Stooge's bad tooth...

...Moe does the old trick where you tie one end of a string to the person's tooth...

...and the other end to a doorknob, then he slam the door shut.

But instead of the tooth being pulled out, the doorknok gets pulled off instead...

...and when the third Stooge sees the doorknob, he thinks that it's his tooth pulled out.

As the first chapter in the ALPHA RIFT universe, Lantz intends to keep the crowd-pleasing entertainment going by expanding the mythology into a franchise that examines origin stories and traces various characters and archetypes through the lore.




Nolan and Gabby in Game Store in ALPHA RIFT

 

In ALPHA RIFT, Nolan Parthmore (Aaron Dalla Villa, PLEDGE, Gotham, Duels) is just a regular dude, running his game store and flirting with his co-worker Gabby (Rachel Nielsen, GREEN PIECE, Mare of Easttown) when destiny comes calling. Beginning in the Dark Ages, “The Noblemen” are a bloodline of guardians against “The Devil’s Apostles,” dark forces escaped from hell onto earth. 

After receiving a mysterious antique helmet, Nolan discovers he is an heir to the bloodline when he dons the helmet and calls forth a demon recently released from his supernatural prison: Lord Dragsmere (Philip N. Williams, The Wire, The Blacklist, Broad City). 

To avoid the same fate as his deceased father, he must quickly learn to harness his power and open the Alpha Rift: the only defense against these supernatural foes. Leading the Noblemen are Richard Corbin (Lance Henriksen, ALIENS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, Millennium) and his lieutenant Vicars (Graham Wolfe, The Punisher, Mr. Robot, For Life) who must guide Nolan as he is forced to become the hero he never wanted to be.




Lord Dragsmere feels a little green in ALPHA RIFT



In the era of comic-universe superheroes, the TCL Chinese Theatre lends itself well to the popcorn movie inspiration for ALPHA RIFT’s family-focused big-screen action, filled with fight scenes and unique production locations. The father of avid gamers and a self-proclaimed nerd himself, Lantz tackles a nostalgic fable within a new framework.

As one of the best-attended film festivals in Southern California and a showcase of new talent, the 24th Dances with Films eagerly returns to an in-person, eleven-day affair after virtual screenings in 2020 due COVID-19. Lantz echoes this excitement, “We’re thrilled to not only be able to share our film with audiences at this celebrated event, but to be able to do so in real life again rather than at home.”

ALPHA RIFT tells the modern-day medieval tale of a fanboy drawn into the eternal fight between good and evil, made to leave his comfort zone of mediocrity, whilst reluctantly assuming his destiny to become a hero.

After what appears to be a cult mass suicide, a documentary filmmaker, DR. AMARA ROWEN (True), is contacted by the surviving members of 'The Hidden Wisdom Cult' in the hope she will be able to uncover the truth. Unfortunately, Amara's connection with the group could unwittingly make her the next victim.

Founded by respected physics professor DR. JOSEPH CAWL (Davison), Hidden Wisdom has gained tens of thousands of followers in dozens of countries with claims to be capable of supernatural power and the ability to cure seemingly incurable mental health difficulties.

DR. LEONARD BERTRAM (David), Joseph's former colleague, is convinced that Joseph is actually evil and plans to use the power of Hidden Wisdom to change reality as a whole. But someone or some thing has decided that the only way to save the world is to cut out the cancer and kill the last survivors of Joseph's group. Amara and the survivors have to fight for their lives so this does not become for them...THE LAST CALL.
 
 
BIOGRAPHIES
 
BRUCE DAVISON
Born on June 28, 1946, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Bruce developed a burgeoning interest in acting while majoring in art at Penn State and after accompanying a friend to a college theater audition.

The year after that he was seen off-Broadway in A Home Away from Home and appeared at the Lincoln Center in the cast of King Lear. His film career kicked off after he and a trio of up-and-coming talents (Barbara Hershey [then known as Barbara Seagull], Richard Thomas and Catherine Burns) starred together in the poignant but disturbing coming-of-age film Last Summer.
