An American Fairytale...

Usually, this blog is about television news and newscasts. I'd like to take a moment to write about movie directors.

Alex Pikas, a local film director has a new movie out. The film was screened Thursday evening at the Bethesda Landmark Cinema. The name of the film is, "Copley: An American Fairytale."
It's a supernatural mystery/thriller shot locally in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Starring in the film are David Sullivan ("Primer," "The Astronaut Farmer"), Johnny Alonso ("Dawson's Creek," "One Tree Hill"), and Kevin Jiggetts ("Law & Order: SUV" and"Miracle's Boys").

"Copley" is a visually stunning ghost story with a plot that twists and turns its way through spirits and malevolent happenings.

The best thing about the film is that it takes a page from the master, Alfred Hitchcock and leaves the gore and the profanity out of the film, but remains high on suspense and chills! When the movie debuts in wide distribution, I'll be sure to let you know!

In today's selection of movies, it's rare that you have a film such as this one that will leave you on the edge of your seat without grossing you out.
