Peter Alexander Earns Global Film Festival Award for "The Centenarian"

LOS ANGELES - March 20, 2018 - PRLog -- Twenty-one year old filmmaker, Peter Alexander, who just last month earned two Hollywood Florida Film Festival awards (Best Picture and Best Director; Student Category) for "The Centenarian," can add a Global Film Festival Award to his list of achievements. Alexander captured Best Sci-Fi Award for the month of February, which automatically enters him for the big year-end prize.

"It's very exciting," the South Florida-based writer/director said from his home near Ft. Lauderdale. "We're all really thrilled this film is gaining the steam it has. I share this with my team who worked tirelessly on virtually no budget to get it done."

"The Centenarian" tells the story of a bounty hunter who is blackmailed into doing the dirty work of a shadow government agency which fears their deep dark secret may soon spiral out of control.

The film was shot in South Florida in multiple locations including Fort Lauderdale and South Beach.

Johnathan Bezianis, plays bounty hunter, James Dawson, who is given the unenviable task of tracking down and killing the clandestine organization's top man gone rogue, Sean Burningham, portrayed by Oscar Fuentes. Alexander's father, Tom, plays the sinister group's ghostly leader, the Shadow Man, and also scored the film. Tristan Millman and Joshua Adorno also play members of the covert group.

Alexander continues a more than century-long legacy connected to film. His great-grandfather, Thomas, emigrated to the United States from Greece near the turn of the 20^th Century building nickelodeons, then neighborhood theatres and movie palaces which he passed down to his sons. His grandsons continued in the business until 1988. After the theatres closed, Tom Alexander pursued film production and screenwriting as well as radio and music production. Now, Tom's son Peter keeps the tradition moving forward well into the 21^st Century. "It's amazing and humbling to think my great-grandfather started his dream with a hand cranked movie projector in the silent era," Alexander adds. "Now, 110 years later, I'm making movies. It's really an honor to continue the family legacy."
