FILM PREMIER - "Roses Are Dead" (dir. Min Tran) - Village Cinemas, Sunshine - Feb 2010 [11.01.2010]
MEDIA RELEASE
Love turns bloody sour on Valentine's Day.
Most young people would rather spend their wages on alcohol and parties, except Min Tran. This 22 year old, Vietnamese Australian Filmmaker from Sunshine is about to premier his 50 minute horror film, 'Roses are Dead' - just in time for Valentine's Day.
Funded entirely from wages earned as a projectionist, the film's production quality goes far beyond what one might expect. Produced over 2 years, this slasher flick ticks all the boxes - good-looking victims, gruesome special effects, and heart-pumping action.
The story begins with a cryptic stranger insisting that two girls buy black, dead roses on Valentine's Day, only to be ridiculed and told to go away. It soon becomes clear that this is no laughing matter with deadly consequences as the girls struggle to survive the what should've been, a romantic evening.
"I've done a few short when I was studying film but this one is the first I wanted to be something amazing. It's cost me about $10,000 but it's definitely been worth it."
Min's talent could be the next success story to rock the media since Saw and Wolf Creek, the most profitable Australian horror films ever made.
'Roses are Dead' will be premiering at:
ACMI
Address: Federation Square, Melbourne
Date: 23rd Feb 2010
Time: 6:30pm
