Last night I had the pleasure of once again talking to Michael Biehn and Jennifer Blanc-Biehn (new interview to be posted shortly), who both star in director Xavier Gens’ film THE DIVIDE. Xavier’s previous directorial efforts include HITMAN and FRONTIERS. This is a movie I’ve been looking forward to for a while, and tonight (for those of you in Austin for the South by Southwest Film Festival) we’ll finally get a chance to see it. Michael spoke passionately about it when we talked last night, and I’m expecting something pretty daring from the finished product. Check it out this evening, and maybe we’ll see you there. More info HERE.
Screening Time – March 13 – 11:59PM
Venue – Alamo Ritz 1 – 320 East 6th St
When a mysterious cataclysmic bomb devastates New York, eight strangers take refuge in the basement of their apartment building. The residents soon succumb to cabin fever as fear of sickness, dwindling supplies, and ruthless outside invaders, plays on their mind. However Eva, the only young woman, has her own worries as the men begin to regress into dangerous packs. She quickly learns to be ruthless if she wants to survive, aware that her sanctuary is becoming her hell. Will her survival ultimately be at the expense of her humanity?
