    Jim Carroll-Directed Film Already Being Hailed as the 'Most Controversial Movie of the Year'

    LOS ANGELES -- (SPW) --

    This June, an extremist group will travel back in time with one goal: to assassinate Jesus Christ before he is crucified. The story will play out in the sci-fi adventure drama Black Easter debuting on Amazon Prime on Thursday, June 24. Written and directed by Jim Carroll, it is already being panned as the 'most controversial movie of the year'.

    Starring Jason Castro as Jesus Christ, Black Easter is nothing short of action-packed, centering on a group of young geniuses responsible for creating a time travel machine only to find that extremists, led by the financer of the machine, are attempting to use it for religious assassination. But their interference in the evil plot causes mankind to enter an apocalypse leaving the fate of the world in the hands of a genius with no faith and a man who has lost his. The film also stars Gerardo Davila and Johnny Rey Diaz.

    "My goal with Black Easter was to create a movie that was not only highly entertaining and filled with excitement at every twist and turn but one that also leaves the audience with a taste of the Gospel in a way that they don't feel like they're being lectured to," said Carroll. "Everybody always says 'Why doesn't someone make a good Christian movie, something that isn't preachy?' Well, now we have one.

    With a pre-release at select Studio Movie Grill theaters, Black Easter has received widespread prestigious international attention including being crowned 'Best Action Screenplay' at the Los Angeles Film Awards, 'Best Featured Script' at the Calcutta International Cult Film Festival and 'Best Original Screenplay Winner' at the London Independent Film Awards in addition to being honored at the Barcelona Film Festival. Early critics have also given the film a coveted positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

    Black Easter will be available for viewing exclusively to Amazon Prime subscribers. To learn more visit, https://blackeastermovie.com/.

    Lord Danger Director Parker Seaman Cooks Up A New Social Media Spot For Kraft Mac And Cheese

    Tuesday, December 17, 2024
    From “The Good, The Bad, and the Delicious,” directed by Parker Seaman of Los Angeles-based production company Lord Danger and Impossible Studios, Toronto. The spot features virtual video wall technology creating the entire location digitally.

    Lord Danger director Parker Seaman put his signature comedic style and virtual production know-how into full effect for the new Kraft Mac and Cheese ad, created by the brand’s in-house agency, The Kitchen. The spot, entitled “The Good, The Bad, and the Delicious” (:30), was shot virtually at one of Toronto’s virtual production stages with Impossible Studios, Seaman’s production home in Canada, using video wall technology. The new ad, which broke last month, can be seen online and on social media (Instagram and TikTok). “Before I even read the scripts, I was excited to even be considered for such an iconic brand. Then once we got into it, the agency really let me run wild with all the little details. I loved the idea that we were allowed to lean into the Western tropes as much as possible, not hold back on big performances… and ranch-flavored Mac and Cheese. Let’s be honest, I wanted a free box of ranch-flavored Mac and cheese.” Anthony Ficalora, Lord Danger Executive Producer, explained Seaman’s strong understanding of virtual video wall technology, which created the entire location digitally, except for practical elements the actors physically touch, is a huge benefit to clients like Kraft. “Parker is a master at creating visually engaging looks and on a tight timeline,” says Anthony Ficalora, Lord Danger Executive Producer. “Those skills served him well on this project as they enabled him to focus on performance and finding the right tone for the spots.” About Lord Danger Lord Danger is a creative production studio specializing in bold, innovative commercials,...
