Faculty Member Larry Connolly to Speak at Penguin Bookshop
On Wednesday, April 27, author and Sewickley Academy Senior School English teacher Lawrence Connolly will be visiting the Penguin Bookshop in Sewickley to talk about writing stories and adapting them for film.
Mr. Connolly will be sharing some of the latest news about Nightmare Cinema, the forthcoming feature film that will include an adaptation of his story “Traumatic Descent.”
Created by Mick Garris, Nightmare Cinema is an anthology film (think Steven Spielberg’s Twilight Zone: The Movie, George Romero’s Creepshow, or the classic Dead of Night) composed of five short films by five different directors. Here’s how a new promotional release describes the project on Mr. Connolly's website:
Five acclaimed directors of the most macabre horror films from around the world, tell new blood-curdling stories, all carefully curated into the multi-platform feature film, Nightmare Cinema. It’s a selection of one-of-a-kind tales of terror that turns the genre conventions on their heads, but without every giving up the primary desire to scare the hell out of the audience.
For more information, visit Mr. Connolly's website or the Penguin Bookshop website.
