Black Filmmakers Plan to Kill... at the Box Office with Movie "Lynch Mob"
Atlanta, GA, August 30, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The community of black filmmakers in Atlanta is small but strong. Lynch Mob, a film produced by black-owned Spry Brothers Films has just scored an unprecedented theatrical release with Carmike Cinemas.
What’s even more amazing about this release is the low-budget indie flick is the first film for the Spry brothers. Twins Carlos and Charles, who formed the company just a year ago, were hoping for success, but were surprised it came so soon and in such grand style.
Though the Macon, Georgia natives each went their separate ways in business, both Carlos and Charles became self-made millionaires. In summer of 2008 though, the brothers came back together to found Spry Brothers Films and with their usual knack for success, within months had scored their first film deal for Lynch Mob with Atlanta based First Cinema.
Many theaters are saying “no thanks” to big budget studio films, so how did Lynch Mob garner a theatrical?
Charles and Carlos Spry forged an alliance with another black entertainment mogul migrating into the film industry, Ron Poag of RP Entertainment, LLC. Poag, a South Carolina native, has promoted the work of Keith Sweat, T. Pain, Vivica A. Fox, R. Kelly and Bow Wow.
Poag’s RP Entertainment and Spry Brothers Films negotiated a deal with Carmike Cinemas and then stumbled across Lynch Mob. The horror film has cannibal rednecks battling gun-toting Mafioso and no, for once in a scary movie, the black guy is not the one to die. Dexter Tucker, Chris’s brother, rolls into town as part of a black biker gang who spell the end to the flesh-eating mob of backwoods barbarians.
The tagline for the movie says it all: “If you only see one mafia, cannibal, zombie horror film this year, make sure it’s Lynch Mob.” Lynch Mob opens at Carmike Cinemas across the country on September 18th.
The star-studded premiere of the film will take place in Atlanta on September 17th and will be hosted by the ATL’s chocolate enchantress Maria More of Radio One’s Hot 107.9.
