Local Filmmaker to Premiere 'Sinners and Saints'

The film, which features several well-known actors, will be screened privately to friends and family in Fairfax Corner tonight.

 

A local independent film producer is holding a premier screening of the action film Sinners and Saints in Fairfax Corner tonight at the Rave Cinemas. The film's producer, Mark Clark lives in Loudoun County, grew up in Fairfax and graduated from West Springfield High School and Virginia Tech.

The film is directed by William Kaufman (The Hit List) and boasts a strong cast including Johnny Strong (Black Hawk Down, The Fast and the Furious), Sean Patrick Flanery (Boondock Saints, Boondock Saints II, Saw3D), Oscar® nominee Tom Berenger (Inception, Training Day, Platoon), Clifford “Method Man” Smith (The Wire, The Fast and the Furious, Gone In Sixty Seconds, 8 Mile, The Sitter) and Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy).

Clark and Kaufman shot on location in New Orleans and Los Angeles, which was no small challenge with their shoestring budget. “Since the production budget was under $1M, we had to rely on “old school” camera effects without all the CGI enhancements audiences have grown accustomed to seeing”, Clark said.

The premier screening for family and friends will celebrate the film's Blu-Ray and DVD release by Anchor Bay Entertainment next week on Jan. 10.

Summary: New Orleans Detective Sean Reilly (Strong) is trying to cope with the death of his young son and the abandonment of his wife. But when a routine warrant “serve” results in an ambush and the vicious murder of his partner, this may be the last straw that finally sends Sean over the edge. Re-assigned by his mentor Captain Trahan (Berenger), Sean and Det. Will Ganz (Kevin Phillips) investigate a baffling gangland homicide. As the clues stack up on the case,
Sean and Will realize that one of Sean’s childhood friends (Flanery), a security contractor just back from the Middle East, seems to be at the center of their horrible case. The two quickly realize there is something far more sinister going on than either could have ever imagined.
