Rider & Shiloh Strong's New Short Films

Rider and Shiloh Strong have two new films out, one of which was written by Rider's girlfriend Alexandra Barreto. The first one, "Dungeon Master", which Rider and Shiloh wrote and directed and Alex produced, features roles by Adam Busch of the band Common Rotation (who also co-wrote the movie Drones with Amber Benson), Jason Marsden (Boy Meets World), Chris Wylde and Alexander Polinsky. The movie recently screened at Tribeca Film Festival and won Tribeca (Online) Film Festival Best Short Film. The film also won "Best Comedic Short" at the Sonoma International Film Festival. The movie will screen again May 27, 2011 9:30 PM at the Seattle International Film Festival. You can buy tickets here.

"Method" is a film written by Alex herself, and it is a comedy about the lengths actors will go to in order to get their portrayals of their characters on point. Scheduled screenings have yet to be announced. Rider and Shiloh directed it and photographer extraordinaire Mallory Morrison worked on the crew.

For the latest updates and info on future screenings, there are 3 websites and 2 facebook pages you can go to, Rider and Shiloh have a blog about their filmmaking exploits, plus both movies have websites and FB pages up. Also I have listed the FB page for Rider and Shiloh's new graphic novel "Blood Merchant" as well for those interested. Beneath these links are the trailers for both movies.
