As if it isn’t hard enough to obtain a reliable cast and crew for a film Richard R. Anasky has made it a little harder. Actress Apocalypse is a little tale about two brothers Vance Lincoln (Greg G. Freeman) and David B. Lincoln the third (Garo Nigoghossian)trying their hand at filmmaking. When David gets discouraged at all the actress no shows he decides to stop production. This doesn’t set well with Vance so he takes the helm. Only problem is Vance doesn’t know jack about directing, merely it’s a ploy to audition girls in hopes of humiliation and torture for all their brethrens inconsistency. After numerous auditions and burnt bridges they finally met up with Layla Black (Dahlia Legault). This audition seems to be going well and things are looking up, yet problems occur and the set props get used improperly and she ends up being choked to death. Now the fun ensues.

In a surrealistic documentary style, Actress Apocalypse sets out to enlighten you in the horrors of filmmaking as well as the inconsistency of actors. I’ve been on a few film sets in my day and watching AA brought back a lot of terrible memories and cancelled productions. Word has it Actress Apocalypse is based on past events Anasky had to endure during I Am Vengeance. Anasky’s style is face first, balls on the table. I felt as if I had stepped on the "Magic Bus" and took a little ride.. The constant ramblings from actors throughout coupled with acidic imagery makes Actress Apocalypse one of the coolest films ever released. Actress Apocalypse is by far one of the best films out there in the indie world. Not only is the cinematography miraculous and just outright beautiful but it seems he was lucky enough to pull a few top notch acting performances at the hands of Greg G. Freeman and Dahlia Legault. Everyone else did a good job from The Golden boy down but the two aforementioned really hand it to you.

All in all Actress Apocalypse is a damn fine film and one of my favorite films to watch; I’ve seen it numerous times and will continue to watch it. Richard Anasky has rapidly become one of my favorite filmmakers. He seems to bring a little Asian flair to the table with the imagery and that’s never a bad thing. Bottom line is watching this movie will remind you of David Lynch and Timothy Leary. Need I say more?!?!

To throw you another bone Anasky and Freeman are nearing pre-production on KILLING SPREE A.D (remake/sequel to Tim Ritter's 80's cult classic, KILLING SPREE), more on that later. Just grow some hair on your balls and get ready. It’s going to be hairy.
