Today, it was announced that Destry Allyn Spielberg’s feature directorial debut, Please Don’t Feed the Children, will have its world premiere at the prestigious Sitges International Film Festival on Friday, October 11th. A Q&A with the cast and crew and a press conference will follow the horror thriller’s debut.
“I am beyond thrilled to be premiering Please Don’t Feed The Children at the 57th annual Sitges International Film Festival. It’s an incredible honor to showcase our film alongside such visionary works. This movie was everything I needed to officially step into directing feature length films. It came with all the exciting challenges that made me a stronger filmmaker and collaborator. We shot this in 18 days and I am so proud of the entire cast and crew for coming together and proving that anything is possible. I couldn’t be more excited to share this experience with the world.” Said Destry Allyn Spielberg.
In Please Don’t Feed the Children, written by Paul Brtino, a gang of orphans travels to the South to seek a new life after a viral outbreak decimates the nation’s adult population. They find themselves at the mercy of a psychotic woman who is hiding a dangerous secret.
Jason Dubin, Josh Kesselman, Michael Hagerty, Bill Kenwright, and Daniel Ryniker produce.
Vertice 360 has acquired the film for Spain and will distribute it in theaters nationwide in 2025 following its debut at Sitges.
