SCHLOCKBUSTERS: PECOS FALLS

Sun, 29 Nov, 2009 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Independent filmmaker, writer and director Matt Holloway will be at the UMAC on November 29 to screen his feature, PECOS FALLS. In this classic cat-and-mouse chase through the surreal terrain of Northern New Mexico, a modern-day cowboy and his girlfriend must elude a deranged and manipulative hunting guide. Eric (Ramon Frank, 3:10 TO YUMA) takes his girlfriend Danielle (Jenny Gabrielle, THE ASTRONAUT FARMER) for an intimate weekend in the Pecos Wilderness. The last thing Eric expects is to have to fight Brian Blake (Chris Dempsey, SUNSHINE CLEANING) for his life. Produced and beautifully photographed by award-winning filmmaker William Holloway (VOYAGE TO ARCTURUS), PECOS FALLS highlights the intense alien beauty of the desert Southwest and explores the struggle for survival in the isolated wilderness.



Meet Matt Holloway and talk about the making of his film and what he has in mind for his next. Free admission.

UMAC is at 1800 Linda Street, Bastrop, near Bastrop High School. Easy to get to: Hwy 71 to Hwy 95 North, turn left, go through big intersection and turn left on Cypress. UMAC is at Cypress and Linda.
Location: Upstart Media Arts Center
