‘Cowboy Creed’ Official Selection of the Action On Film International Film Festival

LOS ANGELES - Aug. 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Runic Films and Blue Seraph Productions are proud to announce that their film Cowboy Creed has been made an official selection of the 9th Annual Action On Film International Film Festival. On Tuesday, August 20th, during the 6:15pm short film block, the AOF International Film Festival will screen Cowboy Creed at the Krikorian Theater, 410 S. Myrtle Ave, Monrovia, CA. The AOF International Film Fest, now in its ninth year, features top works of action, as well as comedy, drama, romance, horror, and documentaries.

“We’re all really excited about screening at AOF. The production and post teams put in a ton of great work and we’re glad to be an official selection of the fest,” said Cowboy Creed writer/director Ben Alpi.

Cowboy Creed stars Kendall Wells, John Carrigan, Tara Platt, and Anthony De Longis as “Sheriff Eli Graves.” Shot entirely on S16mm film, Cowboy Creed is a special blend of elements from all eras of the Western motion picture tradition. Written and directed by Ben Alpi, its heroic themes, drama, and action, make it a short film of epic proportions. Alpi worked closely with producer JT Tepnapa and cinematographer David Berry to complete filming in Santa Clarita, CA with over thirty cast and crew.

“We’ve had three private screenings in Hollywood, CA, St. Petersburg, FL and in Kent in the UK and many of our viewers have said Creed feels like a feature film. That’s fantastic because I really wanted to make a short that is more than the sum of its parts,” remarked Alpi.

Dubbed a “mini epic,” this period piece set after the California Gold Rush features classic Western elements, grand vistas, horses, six-shooters, and fisticuffs.

Alpi added, “I really respect the AOF. Their intent is to be action-and-more which was one of my intentions in writing this film. I think folks at the festival will really enjoy Cowboy Creed.”

Cowboy Creed is a co-production of Runic Films and Blue Seraph Productions and was funded in part by the support of backers on Kickstarter.com.
