SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – Filmmaker Matt Munroe was raised in Tunbridge, Vt. After 15 years in Los Angeles, he returns home to share his debut feature film, titled “Dead English,” on Aug. 19, at 4 p.m., at Springfield Cinemas 3. The film is a satirical, dark comedy that follows two friends as they blunder their way through the aftermath of a robbery gone wrong. The crew behind the feature was comprised of only a director of photography doubling as a camera operator, and a sound mixer doubling as everything else. The two actors rehearsed the scenes much like actors in a play would, in an effort to restrict themselves to a tight four-day filming schedule. The film runs roughly one hour and 25 minutes, after which the two actors are excited to field questions and speak with attendees.
Matt is an avid filmmaker. His deep desire is to film his third feature here in Springfield, Vt. He will aim to utilize surrounding locations and local support.
