The historic Thomaston Opera House will host a screening and discussion of West Haven, CT based independent filmmaker Nathan Wrann’s second feature film, BURNING INSIDE, on Saturday, November 6th. The film will hit the big screen at 7:30pm with a discussion with writer/director Nathan Wrann and the cast and crew will immediately follow.
A surreal exploration of the intertwined nature of revenge and memory "Burning Inside" is an intense, uniquely original revenge thriller from writer-director Nathan Wrann, Dalton Gang Productions (West Haven, CT) and Elmar Berger's Manic Entertainment. John Doe (Michael Wrann) awakens from a coma to find that he has no memory of his life, who he was, or the vicious beating that put him there. He embarks on a life of normalcy, taking a wife, starting a family, mowing the lawn. This Norman Rockwell world is soon torn from him as he becomes driven to get revenge. Revenge for a life that he does not remember. Revenge for pain lost to amnesia. Revenge for what he believes to be true. John Doe seeks out those that hurt him and makes them pay. Or does he? Such is the tragic moebius strip of revenge when the past and the future collide. There is no beginning, there is no end. There is only the eternal inferno of violence, love and sorrow Burning Inside. The cast and crew, almost exclusively made up of local, Connecticut residents, features Michael Wrann, Kristina Powis and Bret Logan.
Writer/Director Nathan Wrann explains choice for screening at the unique venue: "The Thomaston Opera House is a beautifully restored, historic theater that we scouted while looking for locations for our next project, a short film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Fall of the House of Usher'. Upon entering the theater I immediately fell in love with the remarkable craftsmanship found in the auditorium. While discussing its use as a location we discovered that the theater is equipped to screen movies and knew that it would be a perfect venue for a screening of 'Burning Inside'."
BURNING INSIDE is the second feature from Nathan Wrann and Dalton Gang Productions filmed entirely within Connecticut. Dissatisfied with the caliber of modern independent horror movies and cult thrillers, husband and wife producing team, Nathan Wrann and Kimberly Dalton set out to create the kind of underground movies they’d like to see — literate and thought provoking in plot, brutal and unrelenting in tension. With BURNING INSIDE, they’ve hit the mark with a vengeance.
BURNING INSIDE is the first film distributed by Channel Midnight Releasing, the new distribution label from respected cult filmmaker James Felix McKenney (CANNIBALLISTIC!, HYPOTHERMIA) and producers Lisa Wisely (AUTOMATONS, SATAN HATES YOU) and Chase Tyler of The Work Room Productions as a means to distribute select titles from talented filmmakers that scream to be seen by their target audience is currently available for at channelmidnight.com
