Today was the sneak preview of "Maniacts" and it was a rousing success!
Writer / Director Curt Cressler appeared stunned by the enthusiastic response the film got from the
audience which had packed the house. Cheers and laughter were heard throughout the showing.
This is one film that is not to be missed!

Mr Cressler was kind enough to present these two
local actors to the audience and compliment them on their fine work in the film especially the flag scene
which will undoubtably be a noted scene later on

A few words on Maniacts

This project is without a doubt one of the best projects that Ric has had the priviledge to work on.
The cast and crew worked long hours and all involved put in their best individual efforts into the making of this film.
The reception it received at the Santa Fe film festival was outstanding, so much so that it was held over for a 3rd viewing and every showing was to a packed house. Standing room only!
Much credit must be given to Mr Curt Cressler, the writer and director, as well as the producers, Mr Billy Blake and Jenny Hinkey.
A big Thank You to Mr Cressler, Jenny Hinkey and the rest of the cast & crew, I hope to be able to work with you in the future - Ric Barela
