SYNOPSIS: Copper Jack Stone (Matthew Reese) purposefully orchestrates a bank robbery in order to be thrown into prison with the notorious Russian kingpin, Balam (Chuck Liddell). Balam is more than just a mob criminal, he’s a very cunning and dangerous lord who controls […]

Film Festival premiere of the Ryan Little-directed War Pigs next week, while having signed on for the new horror thriller, Don’t Kill It, which films this July.
