DENNY BARRACUDA
From stage to cinema.
"Who on earth is Denny Barracuda? William has no idea, but he's about to let her into his apartment after spending eight months in quarantine."
What started out as a one-act play at The Brick theater in Williamsburg, BK/NY, soon evolved into a short film shot in Park Slope. I am honored and humbled to have co-produced this powerful story beautifully written by Whitney Matheson and deftly directed and edited by Shannon Goldman, starring pitch perfect performances by Madeleine Charmaine Morrell and Lawrence Trailer.
DENNY BARRACUDA is an official selection of the Rhode Island International Film Festival!
World Premiere / August 12 / Providence RI / 4:30p
Produced by Super G Films and Nightwork Studio
Cinematography by Noah Yuan-Vogel
Sound by Ian Hunter
Music by Americans UK (thanks Jeffrey Burandt)
