Dig Two Graves is an upcoming independent gothic thriller written by Hunter Adams[1] and Jeremy Phillips,[2] and is Hunter Adams’ first full-length feature as director. The film was executive produced by actor and director, Larry Fessenden, who is well known for his work on horror films, Habit (1997), The Last Winter (2006), and I Sell the Dead (2008). The high-quality of the film’s low budget production was largely made possible by not only Fessenden’s help, but also by members of its crew being selected by the Independent Filmmaker Project, by working with the Southern Illinois University film department,[3] and by involving the community of the film’s Southern Illinois location[19]. The film’s cast includes Ted Levine (Shutter Island and The Silence of the Lambs),[4] Samantha Isler (Captain Fantastic and Supernatural),[5] Danny Goldring (The Dark Knight and The Fugitive),[6] and Troy Ruptash (General Hospital and Mad Men). After premiering at the Midwest Independent Film Festival[8] on March 3, 2015, Dig Two Graves has gone on to win “Best Feature” at the Beaufort International Film Festival (2015), the “Independent Spirit Award” at the Sedona International Film Festival (2015), and “Best Wisconsin Film” at the Beloit International Film Festival (2015).
The film, distributed by Area23a, releases in select theaters[12] and on demand March 24, 2017.
