The film’s director, Paul Knight shares, “Securing our copious cast has been a godsend, I was already amazed at the talent we had onboard, and adding a fan favorite of mine in the way of 80’s action star Cynthia Rothrock was a plus…But then gaining Eric [Roberts] was a dream come true. I have been a huge fan of his work since ‘The Pope of Greenwich Village’ and ‘Best of the Best’. It doesn’t matter if it’s the small screen or the silver screen, every time he appears is a joy, and it is a privilege to add our little film to his resume.”
