For those who don’t get the FAVES-sponsored Magic Lantern Movie Times email, here’s an exciting announcement:
A locally produced “teen slasher and psychological horror mash-up” (according to The Inlander) will show at the Lantern for one night only on Wednesday, January 12th at 9:30pm.
The story of a high school teacher named Vincent who must choose between his career and his love for a student, “The Absent” gets more complicated when Vincent’s twin brother is released from jail (he killed their parents), and Vincent’s sweetheart’s friends start turning up brutally murdered.
Completed on a shoe-string budget of $60,000 (“We had to dazzle with BS,” production manager Ginny Abdallah was quoted as saying in The Inlander), the film is helmed by Wenatchee director Sage Bannick, and co-written by Bannick and Spokanite Damon Abdallah.
Come support local filmmakers and attend the Q&A with those filmmakers after the show!
