LOCAL HORROR FLICK PLAYS AT THE SCREENING ROOM
Parasite, a dark tale of the supernatural which unfolds right here in the Old
Pueblo, screens this Saturday, October 29 at 8:00pm at The Screening Room.
Based on a story of the same title by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (of Sherlock Holmes
fame), the Parasite tale was modernized and adapted by writer/producer Patrick
Roddy, and filmed on the grounds of the Hacienda del Sol Resort on Tucson's
north side. It sports a mostly local cast, starring David Gaffney, Julia Matias,
Robert Gerard, David Akin and Marissa Hall.
This chilling portrayal of the ultimate co-dependent relationship pairs
skeptical scientist Richard Austin (Gaffney) with the mysterious Helena Vohich (Matias),
a powerful mesmerist who agrees to be the subject of Austin's experiments with
the paranormal. The tables are turned when the scientist becomes the object of
his own experiment.
Patrick Roddy is the producer-in-residence at the Department of Media Arts at
the University of Arizona. His productions include the independent feature
ROBBING PETER, which was nominated for four 2004 Independent Spirit Awards, and
ANGRY YOUNG MAN, winner of Best Feature at the 2003 Arizona International Film
Festival.
The Screening Room is located downtown at 127 East Congress. Admission is $5.00
