Free Screening of SHADOWLAND – St. Louis-Shot Vampire Film – Sunday Night at MX Theater
The St. Louis International Film Festival is in full swing, but if you’re already tired of preachy documentaries and reading subtitles, you have the chance to enjoy a good, old-fashioned vampire movie. The St. Louis-lensed thriller SHADOWLAND will be screened FOR FREE Sunday night, November 17th at 8:30pm. Writer/producer/director/special-effects artist/llama wrangler Wyatt Weed, along with co-producer Gayle Gallagher, will be on hand after the screening for a Q&A and will be selling DVD’s of the film (which I’m sure they’ll be glad to sign). The event happens at the St. Louis MX Theater at 618 Washington Ave. (7th Street and Washington Avenue) in beautiful downtown St. Louis.

Did I mention it’s free?
I saw SHADOWLAND twice when it played at the Tivoli a couple of years ago, and it really is an outstanding entry in the crowded vampire genre. Support hometown filmmakers and check out the screening Sunday night.
Jeremy Kirk, who reviewed SHADOWLAND for We Are Movie Geeks, wrote:
“Driven by its intricate story and beautifully developed characters, ‘Shadowland’ is an inventive entry into the vampire sub-genre, something the film’s big-budget siblings should take a cue from. Wyatt Weed has crafted a fabulous screenplay and his director’s eye pulls the film’s execution off with very little in the way of imperfections. ’Shadowland’ is a low-budget film that never tries to be something it’s not. It is highly original and a fresh return to the creativity that made the vampire film so popular to begin with.”
