Hello friends/family/film people,
You are invited to the first public screening of a locally produced feature length movie, The Vampires of Zanzibar!
The screening is taking place at a new night club on the edge of Roanoke County/Boones Mill called "Southside 220"
(featured on the front page of the Roanoke Times not long ago).
ADDRESS: Southside 220, 7963 Franklin Rd., Boones Mill, VA, 24065
DATE and TIME: April 18th, Saturday night, 8PM (movie starts at 9PM).
DIRECTIONS: from downtown Roanoke, take rte. 581/ rte. 220 (away from highway 81) towards Boones Mill. Pass Walmart on your left. When
you pass Ancient Art Tattoo on your right, go 6 more miles, and it is a big club on the right side of the road with a big sign that reads "Tattoo",
you can't miss it.
My friend and one of the stars of the movie, Royce Hobson,
owns the tattoo shop upstairs called Black Label Tattoos. Me, him and other cast members will be at the screening to talk
about the making of the movie and answer questions after the movie. Please spread the word to anyone who might want to go, as I have
misplaced a lot of the actors/crew contact lists.
I, personally, have spent about one full time year working on this movie night and day, and over 150 cast and crew
were involved from Virginia (over 100 alone from Southwest VA), Sweden, Iceland, NY, Florida, L.A., West Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio to name a few.
They all came to Roanoke, VA (called "Zanzibar, VA" in the movie) in the summer of 2007 to film this feature length movie,
and the movie is FINALLY COMPLETE.
The cover fee is $9 (you get $1 back if you fill out a feedback form on the movie), and you get a lot!...
Free home made food at a buffet table, both vegan and with meat. There will be an opening band going on at 8PM, doors open at 7PM.
The movie itself starts at 9PM, followed by a question/answer session with some of the cast/filmmakers. And finally,
The Big Bad, West Virginia's horror punk phenomonon, formed in the summer of 2004. Shortly after forming, the band recorded a five song, self titled EP. After recording a 10 song (unreleased) LP, the Big Bad briefly disbanded, but regrouped in the Fall of 2007.
