“Keep your friends close and your enemy’s shovel” is the tagline from Flicker, a horror movie opening in 10 cities across the United States, including Beowulf Alley in Tucson, Arizona.
Over the weekend of September 4th, Flicker will be screened in Tucson, Denver, Albuquerque, Paducah, Boise, Santa Fe, Portland, Brookline, Eugene and Hartford.
The trailer for Flicker has been one of the most popular of the summer on Apple.com. Blending rock and roll, country and folk, the Flicker Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is heard around the world thanks to many stores including Amazon and iTunes.
Egg Murders Productions, LLC produced Flicker and is often met with some questions and puzzlement about the movie. People want to know what it is and where it came from. As Flicker is unlike the most recent National Treasure movie, and that lot, we tell people: “It’s not a sequel, a remake or based on a comic book. You deserve it.”
Flicker centers on Pretty, a young woman on a camping vacation with her friends. She awakens in her tent to find that her friends have disappeared in the middle of the night. Keeping a flicker of hope alive, she searches for her missing friends while fighting the elements and the strange inhabitants of a desolate mountain town.
Flicker was written and directed by Aaron Hendren (The Faithful and the Foul, Hamlet) and stars actors from Terminator Salvation, Swing Vote, Easy Money and The Lost Room. The music comes from The Bad Memories and Jimmy Deveney (of Horse Opera fame.) Starring Katy Houska as Pretty, the cast is supported by Babak Tafti, Kate Schroeder, Abigail H. Blueher and Lauren Poole.

Equal and fair treatment will be provided to all participants regardless of race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, familial status and/or marital status. Founded on the basis of dialogues with local theatre artists who wanted a permanent home to practice their craft, its intimate 95-seat theatre provides a facility that meets professional standards where performing artists, educators, and technicians can present their skills. Because Beowulf Alley engages a talent and volunteer pool that calls Tucson “home” for its productions, the Theatre is committed to helping grow a new generation of Tucson talent with its programs including education for adults and youth, late night theatre to experiment with and gain experience, readers theatre for playwrights’ unpublished works, lunchtime theatre to bring art to the workday and screenings of independent film artists. And true to its roots, the Theatre maintains ongoing dialogues with the community, including Dialogues with theatergoers after the first Sunday matinee performance of each of its main stage plays, at Readers’ Theatre nights, and other presentations, providing an opportunity for theatergoers to discuss the plays with the director and artists. Writers who cover the Tucson arts scene say the Theatre provides its audiences with “the best total package”—plays, performances and productions that are high in artistic and technical quality. Beowulf Alley has received critical acclaim, including two Mac Awards and seven MAC nominations. The company has presented over 325 performances to Tucson audiences since 2002 and has served hundreds of theatre artists.
