Los Angeles, CA (July 3, 2012) – Hybrid Vigor Films, LLC announced today
that Brandon Fowler, the director of the upcoming Latvian horror/drama HYBRID
VIGOR, has just placed his project on the innovative crowd funding platform
Kickstarter with the goal of raising additional funds from a wide Twitter
fanbase. The film stars an emerging
Latvian cast that includes Velta Buka in her feature film debut and also co-stars
Jevgenija Mirosnicenko and Aleksandr Ivanov. All three actors are native to
Latvia and no other parts have been officially cast. Fowler (Executive
Producer of “Loren Cass”), who wrote the script, is also serving as the film’s
producer.
The film, which began principal photography in March, has
already shot large portions on Lake Peipus in Estonia, and also in several
locations in Latvia. The film is scheduled to complete shooting later this year
once all the funds have been raised. Specific release dates and markets will be
announced shortly thereafter.
