Wynn Reichert in "Falls the Shadow"



Our very own Wynn Reichert stars in the post apocalyptic "Falls The Shadow" had it's premiere on November 17th at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville. Below is the trailer, and an exciting article in Nashville Scene Magazine:



Here is the article from Nashville Scene:

Indie Shocker Falls the Shadow the zombie hordes to Music City

On a Sunday night at Watkins College of Art, Design and Film, Steven Berryessa is feeling a filmmaker's version of labor pains. After an 18-month gestation, just one final test screening stands between his debut feature, Falls the Shadow, and its premiere Thursday, Nov. 17, at the Belcourt. The inclination toward endless tweaking is familiar to anyone in Nashville's creative class, but Berryessa knows it can't go on forever.

"If you don't say 'it's done' at some point, you'll never make another film," he says, before he and the assembled cast and crew settle in for one last look.

The just-about-finished product combines a post-apocalyptic tale of good vs. evil like The Book of Eli with the threat of zombie infestation. As if the end of the world weren't distressing enough, Falls the Shadow imagines a scenario where few more than the cockroaches among us remain. (The point man for evil in the film is a Rev. Phelps, if that gives you any idea.)

Although it was entirely shot in and around Nashville, the director offers a word of reassurance to city boosters and those with a stake in the tourism industry: Shooting a post-apocalyptic film in Music City was a challenge.

Congrats to Wynn!
