After watching the new horror film Sound of Silence, which impressed me, I knew I wanted to speak to the people behind it before its March premiere. I sat down with the Italian directors, known as the collective T3 (Stefano Mandala, Alessandro Antonaci, Daniel Lascar), and the film’s star Penelope Sangiorgi who is making her feature debut as the lead character Emma. In the film, when her father is gravely injured, Emma returns to her family home in Italy. Alone in the house while her father recovers, she encounters a haunted radio – and the evil entity behind it. With the supernatural force growing stronger by the hour, Emma must reveal the dark secret behind the radio’s curse to survive the night. I highly recommend that you listen to the audio. T3 and Penelope have amazing accents that you just have to hear. https://soundcloud.com/kelli-r-marchman-mcneely/an-interview-with-sound-of-silence-directors-and-star?si=94b53315b5024558afd0cdd738f74bbe&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Interview Transcription Kelli: “So I just watched Sound of Silence and really enjoyed it.” Alessandro: “Oh,

Saddle up; writer-director Owen Conway’s horror-western Ghost Town is heading your way this March. The film stars Conway (Eminence Hill), and also features Eva Hamilton (Death Kiss), Becky Jo Harris (Spiked), and Amelia Haberman (The Covenant), among others. The film is set in 1877 Arizona, where a drifter takes a job as a barman. After a series of bizarre and horrifying deaths, he finds himself the target of suspicion. Desperate to escape the noose, he is soon at the center of a supernatural mystery that plagues the town. “GHOST TOWN is a remarkable achievement, not only because it was shot during the height of the pandemic but because it combines two genres that don’t normally cross – horror and the western.” said Keith Leopard, President Uncork’d Entertainment. “The film will really put Owen Conway on the map as a filmmaker to watch.” Robert Conway executive produces Ghost Town from Uncork’d Entertainment, which arrives on VOD and Digital on March 7,
