The Last Showing





UPDATE: The Last Showing selected as one of the top independent horror films of 2018 by the Spotlight Film Awards!

In The Last Showing, a theater is terrorized by a spirit which manifests during the final nightly showing. The film is a 12-minute short film in post-production with an expected release date of early 2018. The short is based on a  feature length screenplay of the same name. The short film focuses on the primary characters of the feature, but with a different ending.

Starring Lara Jean Mummert (2Jennifer, Anomaly) as Mary, Max Troia (Brawl is War) as Steven and Joseph Camilleri (Blood Relative) as Michael.

The Last Showing started as a pitch idea for the Horror Writer's Convention in Long Beach. Upon hearing the news the pitch session was no longer happening I began to research what it would take to produce the film. The first step was finding a location. Of the three theaters that responded Towne 3 Cinema in San Jose fit the mold of a "2nd run" theater as needed for the film. Not only did it fit the mold the theater featured enough creepy locations I extended the second half of the film to feature them!

Principal photography took place between August 14 - 16th, plus an additional day of shooting on the 25th. Post-production should last a few months. Expected release is early 2018 at local horror film festivals. After it's run The Last Showing will be available for purchase on blu-ray.

"The Last Showing works because it's clear that DeRouen knows exactly what he's going for here and has assembled a cast and crew quite capable of pulling it off." - The Independent Critic
