I was today years old when I found out that the Crank International Action Film Festival is launching at the Westdale Theatre in Hamilton, Ontario next weekend. It’s gonna have two awesome feature screenings – firstly on Saturday, April 15 with Andrew T. Hunt’s new action drama, The Fight Machine, starring Greg Hovanessian and Dempsey Bryk as two young men on opposite sides of the Canadian border journeying toward self-discovery before meeting their fates head-on in the unforgiving underground bare-knuckle arena.
Sunday will see the latest premiere for Ramin Sohrab’s trailblazing Finnish/Iranian action thriller, Layers Of Lies, about a fireman whose retirement is cut short when his wife is kidnapped by an enemy from his past. The festival will close out with a round of eleven shortfilms to bookend things and you can learn more about the inaugural festival here, with tickets also available at EventBrite.
