Produced by Emmett/Furla Films and distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment, STREETS OF BLOOD follows the story of a police officer whose partner died during Hurricane Katrina, however he later discovers that his partner may have been murdered. An investigation follows, taking the officer and his new partner into the depths of the criminal underworld.
Chonacas shows her acting range as “Cecilia,”
a young teenage girl strung out on drugs. She shares, “Filming STREETS OF BLOOD was a wonderful experience. I felt so blessed working with Charles Winkler. He is such a great director. This was the first film where I read the script, and I viewed roles and was able to pick out which part I felt would be the most challenging and help me grow as an actress, then Charles and I would sit down and talk about it. Then, he offered me the film. I felt like a real movie star.”
As the face of top luxury brands such as Oliver Peoples and Taryn Rose, Chonacas has become one of the most watched emerging actresses and producers in Hollywood. Chonacas is best known for her roles in hit television series such as COLD CASE, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, and CSI NY.
