Director Slated For Mexi-Masked Homage
Masked wrestlers (or "luchadores") are no stranger to the cinema of south of the border (a staple of the Mexican film industry for decades), but....Ohio?
Yes, southern Ohio and northern Kentucky are about to experience a whirlwind of grapplers with secret identities, not to mention spacecraft, evil geniuses, and vampires (!?!) as pre-production of the independent low-budget Sancho and Pele vs. The Vampire Women From Mars begins.
In the director's chair, Anthony Conn, a 30 year old former native of rural Adams County, Ohio, has this to say about his directorial debut:
"Basically, the film stems from a mutual love for several things shared by myself, Jason (Taylor) and Jerry (Davis)...."
Taylor and Davis are creditted with the multiple titles of executive producers and cast members of SaP vs. TVWFM.
"...those things being cheesey science fiction films and masked latinos. I like to blame society for turning us into the cinematic deviants we are today. "Society" being our nuturing enviroment of backwoods Southern Ohio, where it's either going into the family business of making corn whiskey.....or, film. We chose film. Less jail-time and no worries about 'revy-nooer' men..."
Conn's love for "cheesey" sci-fi can be traced to The SpeakEasy , a film review website he started in 2001, where he comments on so-called "bad" movies on a regular basis, as well as other assorted bits of pop culture news. The first time director is also a regular contributor to ATTACK of the 50 ft. DVD , a site devoted to reviewing DVD releases of a genre nature.
