Stealth Media Group Signs Up To Devil’s Bridge

May 19, 2010 - PRLog -- DEVIL’S BRIDGE is a gritty British, WOLF CREEK meets DELIVERANCE style movie, written and directed by first time feature-film maker Chris Crow.  The film is a stark, psychological thriller / survival horror. The protagonist Sean (Joseph Millson), livelihood on the rocks, sets out meet an underworld specialist who can facilitate an off-the-books solution to his failing business.  

Heading into the rural isolation of Wales with his friends Adam (Michael Jibson) and Danny (Gary Mavers), Sean finds himself in uncharted, unknown and deeply alien territory. In this unfamiliar setting the trio cross William Parry (Joshua Richards), a hardened farmer, consumed by paranoia, and a lifetime of bitter resentment, a powder keg ready to blow.  

Their encounter spins out of control, spiraling into a horrific “Heart of Darkness” spree of pointless violence and revenge as William hunts the boys through a stark and unforgiving terrain. Chris said, DEVIL’S BRIDGE plays with notions of tribal and factional hatreds, fear and ignorance from both sides of the fence. It’s a stylish mix of DELIVERANCE, STRAW DOGS, SOUTHERN COMFORT and WOLF CREEK. It's a brutal, tense, very British film based on a number of true stories. We're delighted to be working with Stealth Media with our first feature." Wrong place, wrong time and a long way from home…    

The independent film is a joint production by Dogs of Annwn run by David Lloyd and Chris Crow and Kraken Film And Motion owned by Vern L Raye. The film is in production, shooting in Wales and a work in progress trailer will be available for buyers in Cannes.  Stealth Media Group (SMG) was formed in February 2009 by film entrepreneurs Michael L Cowan and Jason Piette of Spice Factory, one of Europe’s most dynamic independent production companies; and by distribution and sales specialist Sean O’Kelly (who’s acquired and sold literally hundreds of films and has been responsible for over 19.5 million DVD sales in the UK alone, spanning the whole spectrum from library films to re-sales of new productions).  Head of sales at SMG is Juan Vista Neis, until recently director of sales at First Look Studios and Nu Image Entertainment. In the past, Juan has sold films such as DUNGEONS & DRAGONS 2, RIGHTEOUS KILL, AFTERLIFE, AN AMERICAN CRIME, A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS, THE LOSS OF A TEARDROP DIAMOND, RELIGULOUS and many others, having worked in the business for the last 8 years.  

Juan Vista Neis is located in the Stealth Media Office in LA with Jason Piette and reports to the joint CEOs – Michael L Cowan and Sean O’Kelly who head worldwide sales. “We are extremely excited to be working with writer/director Chris Crow, a real talent who's set to break on to the world stage with this film along with the producers David Lloyd and Vern Raye.
