On 4 December 2014, the Jameson Cult Film Club invited science fiction fans to take part in an alien experience at Mary Fitzgerald Square in Newtown.
Offering more than a typically themed evening of sci-fi appreciation, organisers used a series of special effects and props to immerse film enthusiasts into an extra-terrestrial world themed around Ridley Scott’s cult classic Alien – the first paranormal movie of its kind to conceive fears of an unknown universe.
After the sci-fi experience and contemplating the film’s iconic tagline – “In space, no one can hear you scream’, guests were invited to mingle in the bar area.
This dedication to film has expanded to another motion picture initiative that is helping young filmmakers obtain their “first shot’ in a notoriously difficult industry. Now in its fourth year, Jameson in partnership with Kevin Spacey and Dana Brunetti of Trigger Street Productions, are on the hunt for the globe’s most gifted, undiscovered filmmakers with compelling stories to tell.
Three talented winners will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have their scripts turned into short films and to direct Adrien Brody in the lead role. The winning shorts will be premiered in LA with the acclaimed team in attendance. Closing date for entries is 1 February 2015.
