What: Every aspect of this horror-comedy was rooted in the Piedmont Triad, from cast and crew to filming locations like Silver Moon Saloon, Bamboo Lounge, and Miller’s on Trade!

Who: Local filmmakers Carissa Joines and Chad Nance of Calico Bonnet Productions wrote and produced the movie!

Why It Matters: North Carolina’s film and TV industry is growing, and “Night Terrors” shows the Piedmont Triad has the actors, locations, and crew to support major productions. Case in point: Project Space 411 is bringing a culinary film studio to downtown Winston-Salem next year.

Details: Attend a screening at a/perture on March 21 at 7 or 10 PM!
