It also uses those scenes to introduce the three of his students who will be the film’s leads, aspiring filmmakers Ryan, Jake (Vince Hill-Bedford; American Fighter) and Erica.
While shooting their class project, a zombie hooker film entitled Streetwalkers, which was also Stoker Hills’ original title, a car drives by and stops just long enough to drag Erica in before racing off with Ryan and Jake in pursuit with their camera still running.
They don’t return but the camera is found and two of the town’s cops...

Wife and husband filmmaking duo Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish have launched a nonprofit art school, Montana Institute of the Arts, to help students learn the responsibilities of pre-production through a delivered product. The institution, now accepting applications, promises a hands-on approach to the moviemaking process, which will be taught by industry professionals. “As a Montana resident who has a long family lineage here, it is important to me that the Montana film and art community flourish. We believe we have a concept to help support this vision,” said Polish. “This has been over a year in the making and we’re finally ready to move forward.” Added Bosworth: “Between the two of us, Michael and I have accumulated over 40 years’ experience in filmmaking.
