LAFS Alumni Night: Contracted Screening and Q&A
Join us this Friday, July 18th at 7:00 pm as we continue our Alumni Screening Series with July 2008 Film grad, Eric England’s feature film CONTRACTED.
CONTRACTED was released in theaters by IFC Films at the end of Nov. 2013 and debuted in the top 5 on iTunes upon release on VOD.
It was the Number 1 most streamed movie on Netflix Instant and was given rave reviews by Howard Stern, the NY Times, the LA Times, and Entertainment Weekly.
It has been one of the top grossing films for IFC this year and listed as one of the top genre films of 2013 by Buzzfeed.
Lionsgate and Sony’s news outlet FEARnet named CONTRACTED one of the greatest body horror films ever made alongside David Cronenberg’s The Fly and John Carpenter’s The Thing.
Notable critic Scott Weinberg said of CONTRACTED:
“…it stands as one of the most intriguing indie horror films I’ve seen this year.. frankly it’s the sort of low-budget indie that low-budget filmmakers should watch while taking notes.”
Before CONTRACTED was released, Eric gained representation at The Gersh Agency and is now being courted to direct high profile studio films around town.
Check out a trailer for the film here!
Join us for a Q&A with Eric following the film.
