The Creatress Premiere in Los Angeles

The Creatress, the comedy/drama by Jason Cook, tells a tale of “Not How I Memoir It.” Young author Eryn Bellow (Lindy Booth: The Librarians, Dawn of the Dead, Kick-Ass 2) follows up her debut with a bestseller, in spite of its mysterious message. It does not inhibit her pugnacious agent (Fran Drescher: The Nanny, Happily Divorced, Living with Fran) to close a six-figure deal for film rights, but critical backlash threatens the reception of the book as well as the work on her third novel. A zealous critic (Peter Bogdanovich: The Great Buster, The Last Picture Show, What’s Up, Doc?) goes so far as to publish a faux-memoir to mock her work, testing the limits of defamation. Instead of a lawsuit, Eryn decides to answer with a faux-memoir of her own to, quite literally, rewrite the course of her life. Nothing like aspiring for a happy ending while trying to prove they can be artful.

The Creatress will be available in 100+ countries on digital platforms on August 27th . Winner of Best Lead Actress at the Nice International Film Festival 2019 and Best Feature Comedy at the Madrid International Film Festival 2019.

Esto es SWITCH!
Un estilo de vida saludable no es difícil de conseguir. Lo difícil es realmente mantener los hábitos que componen ese estilo de vida. Es algo que no ocurre de la noche a la mañana, algo en lo que hay que trabajar para poder mantener. No es una dieta rápida ni una cirugía que te quite unos kilos de encima. Es la adquisición de rutinas, de entender qué es lo que pasa con tu cuerpo, con los alimentos, con las actividades… Y una vez adquieres los hábitos, lo demás es realmente sencillo. Lo importante es que te guste, que entiendas por qué y que lo disfrutes.

Por eso Switch, un espacio en donde todos aprendemos, donde hablamos sobre esos temas que muchas veces son confusos.

LOS ANGELES, CA –  Just in time for the horror season, the critically-acclaimed thriller DARK AWAKENING becomes available on DVD, digital and On Demand platforms through Alchemy Entertainment.  Set for release September 22, 2015, DARK AWAKENING is a suspenseful thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat holding your breath.

“Dark Awakening” is an Indie horror that delivers the goods despite its low budget. I was prepared to talk about the story a bit here but the above synopsis covers it just fine and if I was to go into more plot details I would only ruin the film for those wanting and waiting to see it. So instead I will talk about the film a bit. For starters the haunting piano playing during the film’s opening credits gives you the feeling that the film will be a chilling experience and that is exactly what you get. So it really set the tone. Another thing you will notice right from the start is the film’s gloomy cinematography which creates the perfect atmosphere and mood right away.

The film wastes no time setting up the story and introducing the audience to the characters. It also does not waste any time getting to the paranormal activity that awaits . “Dark Awakening” is a horror film that has its secrets but it is content to keep them to itself until later in the story which helps build up a good amount of suspense and mystery which only thicken as it goes along. The film does not break any new ground as far as the story goes, we have all seen plenty of horror films like it before but ironically it is the story that I liked best about the film because it brings a lot of it’s own ideas and it does a great job of sucking you into the mystery as you wait to know more about the town and it’s missing children.

It does not use cgi effects but the make-up and practical effects work to perfection. I thought it was an old fashion horror film that delivered on tension and scares, it does not take long before it is in your head and under your skin. And last but not least let me talk about the cast, Jason Cook and Valerie Azlynn are terrific as James and Jennifer Thomas and I was really impressed with William Pifer who is amazing in his acting debut as their young son, Danny. And who does not love Lance Henriksen? He is excellent as Father Donovan O’Malley and he really adds some star power to the film. I must also mention Director/Co-writer, Dean C. Jones who did a fantastic job crafting this terrifying tale. I look forward to seeing what he does next.

“Dark Awakening” is in theaters now and it will expand on July 24, 2015. You can find out where it is playing and follow it’s progress by visiting the film’s Facebook page HERE.

Going off the trailer I was not sure what to expect but the film grabbed my attention right from the start and it just got better as it moved along. If you like a good horror film then I recommend checking out this smart, creepy and frightening film now. I cannot close this review without reminding everyone to stick around for a scene after the credits all over.

Dark Awakening Theatrical Release Date Confirmed.

Cafe Oscuro Films, production company of feature film ‘Dark Awakening’ is very pleased to announce that Hannover House, distribution company for the film in US territories has revealed the theatrical nationwide release of the movie . The date is July 17th 2015. A new poster has also been disclosed and both companies are looking forward to other forms of releases later this year including DVD, Blu-Ray, digital and a major TV network.

Liliana Kligman, executive producer of ‘Dark Awakening’ said:

“It is with tremendous, tremendous joy that we share the news today of the release in theaters of our first movie ever, horror/thriller ‘Dark Awakening’. We will bring more news as we are authorized to do.The movie will live past theaters, as we will have other forms of releases as well later in the year, including DVD, Blu-Ray, digital and a major TV network. We can’t give details at this moment, but we are sure you will want to keep enjoying the ride this movie is.

For me more than a movie is a dream becoming a reality. Has been an insane non-stop hard work for two straight  years, with the help (physical and in spirit by a continued support) of some incredible people (family, friends, colleagues). All the doubts and frustrations, sleepless long a** nights along the way now seem without importance, but they were lessons, lessons that pushed us all involved in the process to work harder and harder every day.

More than a movie, this is the concoction of hard work from a team, and we hope you enjoy and get scared with this creation… ‘Dark Awakening’ , it’s aaaaliveeee. (sorry, got carried away with the horror and had to quote ‘Frankestein’)

We are here with the sole purpose of inducing a feeling that will have you sleep with your light on at night, look under your bed, check the closet, and most importantly will make you stay away from the basement… because ‘some secrets are better off buried’ ”
