The Renata Road wins at Mindfield Film Festival

PRESTON, U.K. - Jan. 10, 2022 - PRLog -- The Renata Road, Ed Greenberg's feature debut psychological thriller about a mysterious stranger checking into a remote hotel, has received an award for Best Feature Film at the Mindfield Film Festival in Albuquerque.

The film, which was produced by UK production house Beyond the Bar and stars a diverse British cast headlined by actor and television personality C.J. de Mooi, triumphed at the New Mexico Festival, winning the Diamond Award, the festival's highest honour, in the Feature Film category on January 6th, 2022.

"It's wonderful to see The Renata Road receive such a positive reception." said director Greenberg, "Hopefully the first of many such accolades that will ensure the film reaches as wide an audience as possible. A testament to our incredible cast and crew."

In The Renata Road, a mysterious stranger (de Mooi, television's Eggheads), looking for peace, solitude and escape from the outside world, checks into the remote Renata hotel. Soon after, he is reluctantly drawn into the lives and activities of the hotel's guests and it becomes abundantly clear that all is not as calm and serene as the hotel management would have him believe. A chance encounter with the hotel maid (Rebekah Bowman, Vengence (2016)) sets in motion a chain of events that will take the Stranger to the very edge of sanity and threatens to destroy the lives of everyone present.

The Renata Road is currently continuing its international film festival run and is eyeing a general release later in 2022.
