Shaun Piccinino has unveiled the new artwork for the upcoming home release of the action crime thriller, The Lackey, from Truly Indie Studios, Hectic Films and Cinescope Media. Since the film’s circulation through the festival circuit in August 2012, The Lackey has achieved wide acclaim with rave reviews, in addition to earning eleven nominations ranging from best male performance to best screenplay and best fight choreography, of which it acquired four wins, including best in cinematography and audience choice.
The film’s debut came three years in the making, inspired by the cinematic genius of Guy Ritchie, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, enfusing the vision of classic Grindhouse 70’s and 80’s cinema with martial arts action. The Lackey was co-directed by Piccinino and Jason Sanders, and co-choreographed and written by Kung Fu guru Steve Pisa, and also stars veteran actor Vernon Wells who also served as associate producer with Rachel Montgomery and co-star Guy Grundy. Other stars also include Jeremy Dunn, Lauren Parkinson, producer Rickey Bird Jr., Robin Steffen, Paul Wolverton, Alexandra Holtzman, D.T. Carney, Larry Parrish and Mark Magid.
