"The Stakes" Gets It's International Film Fest Premiere

What a crazy year it has been for "The Stakes," a small independant shirt film that was able to cruise its way through two local film festivals and now on to the International scene. 

A year ago, if you had told me that I would be making a film that would be shown in an International Film Fest the following year, I would have laughed, but here we are.

It was another packed house for "The Stakes" and "Fatal Call," the feature film directed by "Stakes" originator, Jack Snyder. We were so lucky to have been paired up with Jack's film from the start and the two pieces definitely complimented one another and made for a HELL of a double feature!

The picture above is of our Script Supervisor, Stacy Singh, Executive Producer, Joshua McNew and myself on the "red carpet."

As we now start the process of making our next film, the fate of "The Stakes" lies in the hands of investors who will hopefully get this film to other festivals around the country and if we are lucky, maybe the world. Keep an eye out and an ear open for more news regarding the film and eventually its release online!

Thanks so much,

2 Days Until the Premiere of "The Stakes"

Last week, the University of Missouri - St. Louis released another article detailing the production of "The Stakes" and highlighting its premiere at The Tivoli Theatre in St. Louis this Thursday night.

The article interviews Producer, Joshua McNew and Writer, Jack Snyder about the inception of the film and how our team came about making it a reality.

"The film is the culmination of hard work by UMSL students and professionals, like Chris Benson, who owns the St. Louis-based production company Lamplight Films. He was the director of photography on the film and tasked with making it look like a high-quality movie."
