5 Souls Header 51112 [Interview] Director Brett Donowho On 5 Souls And His Three Other Current Films!

Premiering at Cannes this year will be Outsider Pictures’ new thriller 5 Souls. The Brett Donowho (At Silver Falls) directed film stars Ian Bohen (Pearl Harbor), Steve Bacic, Kristina Anapau (Black Swan), Steven Schub (The Thirteenth Floor), Samaire Armstrong (“The OC”) and Allison McAtee (“NCIS”). The other day I had the chance to catch up with Donowho on the phone and we talked about the Souls, shooting on location and the three other films he has going to Cannes this year (Silver Falls, No Tell Motel, and The Sacred).

In the film, “After falling into a coma after a routine doctors visit, Noah awakens to find a man sitting at the end of is bed. The good news is that he has come to kill him, and then there is the bad news…” This clip comes straight from that premise, it’s here that we first see Noah awake in the hospital to less than a warm welcome.

Dare Sleep In Room 6 Of ‘No Tell Motel’?

From Cinema Management Group comes Brett Donowho’s No Tell Motel, starring Angel McCord, John Hawkes, Chalie Howes, Andrew MacFarlane and Chelsey Reist.

Secrets we keep from each other can come back to haunt us: NO TELL MOTEL is a compelling story of isolation, desperation, and the darkest kind of redemption. The old Horak place, an abandoned roadside motel tucked away in the woods just off Route H is the stuff of local legend. The place where little Angela Horak got run down in the middle of the road. Of course, that was nothing compared to what happened to her parents afterwards. It’s not exactly the ideal place to get stranded. But that’s exactly what happens to adorable Megan Walsh and her four teenage friends when their RV gives up the ghost. With no other options, the group reluctantly decides to hole up for the night in the crumbling motel’s mysteriously organized Room Six. It isn’t long though, before Megan and her friends discover they’re not alone…

The thriller is now in post-production. READ MORE
