Silver Screamers is the first movie to be released under a new joint theatrical partnership between Studio Dome and Antenna Releasing.Says filmmaker Sean Cisterna, "While Silver Screamers has plenty of laughs, scares and filmmaking adventures to behold, at its heart is a story about people discovering that creativity, friendship and a sense of purpose don't have an expiry date. We hope the film will appeal to everyone – from horror fans and documentary lovers, to anyone who enjoys a funny, uplifting story about people proving that it's never too late to try something new."Clark Collis, lead programmer at BloodStream, adds, “Silver Screamers has the same broad appeal as The Nonnas – but it’s about horror movies... and it’s real. Sean Cisterna has crafted a fascinating, hilarious, and heartwarming documentary which showcases the power of creativity, whether that involves painting the Mona Lisa or making a short film about a killer rug.”Silver Screamers will screen at Beverly Hills' Lumiere Music Hall on November 8th and at Glendale's LOOK Dine-In Cinemas on the 9th, featuring in-person Q&As with filmmaker Sean Cisterna at both events.
