LOS ANGELES - Feb. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Glee’s Harry Shum, Jr. has signed on to play the role of “Frank” in the directorial debut of Academy Award-winning special effects designer, Tom Woodruff, Jr., a supernatural thriller, called Fire City: The Interpreter of Signs.

The film centers around a fragile balance that exists between humankind and the demons who secretly live among them, and the crisis for all when this balance is broken.
