I saw Prisoner yesterday.
Wonderful film!
A couple of the Producers were there discussing the making of the film.
I think he said the release date was this fall on about 1000 screens in US.
Has anyone else seen it? I was wondering the names of the two producers that attending at the Sunday screening....they said their names, but not into the mic...hard to hear with a packed house...
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'd love to hear some more about it. Did they mention why the star wasn't there?
This might be of some help:
The first Saturday night gala, The Reel Experience at Lake Club, celebrates festival friends, Executive Producers (and Sarasotans) Steve Matzkin & Sam Logan, Producer Marshall Persinger and cast Elias Koteas, Kim Raver & Dagmara Dominczyk (in with husband Patrick Wilson) following the screening of their film Prisoner.
Hello Nipfan...I heard that they were there the night before (director, actors, producers). I went to the Sunday matinee. They said it was only the second time it was ever shown.
Great movie...suspenseful...eerie...great payoff at end...everyone liked it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the film! I'm so ready for this film to release. I've been waiting for this film to release since we filmed it. I've had a copy of the script since production and refuse to read it cause I want to see it. This fall is just too bloody long to wait!!!!
shareWhat was your role dm12c?
I've been waiting ages to see it too because I'm a big Julian McMahon fan.
Hello dml2c....what was your role in this film? I really think it will grab a nice audience once it is released. I am a screenwriter and would love to read the script now that I have seen the film. Any idea if it is posted anywhere or if I can get a copy????
shareI'm anxious to see it!! My son played Young Derek. Glad you liked it.
shareYoung Derek was awesome!!
Please tell him he did a great job...he has quite the future!...
You made my day. Thanks, I'll pass this along to David. He has to cut his hair for a commercial this week. He needs some good news!
shareHow was Dagmara Dominczyk in this? Do you think it'll get her a lot of notice?

I was an intern for the art deptartment. Painted a lot of the sets (I'm responsible for the flooded room), did some minor building, props, and general PA junk. Basically I got to play around with a great crew and have fun. One of the most interesting experiences of my life. I actually lived on set for a month. Don't know if the script is posted anywhere...actually I doubt it is. Don't want to part with mine cause it's one of my few keepsakes from the film.
shareThats really sounds like it was a cool experience. Two of my friends in LA are set decorators for various films/tv shows and they love their job. I think because it totally changes depending on the set requirements...and really expands their artistic capabilities.--Great job with that scene!!
shareAre there any reviews of the film from the festival???

I found this in the Sarasota Magazine:
"April 14. Local filmmakers were in the spotlight on the second night of the Sarasota Film Festival. Sam Logan, a Sarasota resident, and Steve Matzkin, from Tampa, are the executive producers of the taut drama Prisoner.
Julian McMahon, who plays the randy plastic surgeon in Nip/Tuck, here stars as an egotistical director who gets more than he bargained for when he scouts for locations at an abandoned prison.
The film was handsomely shot, and McMahon and co-star Elias Koteas give riveting performances in what is essentially a two-character story. This is one of those movies where nothing is exactly what it seems. But the secret that is revealed at the film’s conclusion felt like an anti-climax to me.
McMahon was shooting another film, so he couldn’t make the screening or the party afterward at the Lake Club at Lakewood Ranch. But the affable Koteas was there, as was Dagmara Dominiczyk, who has a small supporting role."
