Next month, writer and director Millie Loredo, lead actress Vannessa Vasquez and members of the cast of Sorrow will travel to six cities in five different states to screen the film. One of their first stops will be at Atlanta, Georgia’s oldest operating cinema, the historic Plaza Theatre.
Loredo said her love for horror films is what drove her to turn Sorrow from a 15-minute short horror film into a full-length feature film, and she feels honored to be able to screen her debut at such a historical landmark.
Vasquez, currently starring in Hulu Network’s “East Los High,” said she is proud to work alongside Loredo to screen the indie film not only at the Plaza Theatre but in five other theaters across the country.
“For [Loredo], this was her first film, and of course, I’m just starting in the industry,” she said. “It is kind of a neat project for us to showcase ourselves and try to get ourselves out there, because we are both very committed to what we are doing.”
Loredo will be stopping by the Mad Monster Horror-Con in Charlotte, North
Carolina to promote the horror film this month and will be selling tickets to the
Plaza Theatre screening there as well as online. They hope the audience at the Plaza enjoys their joint effort to not only scare them but also instill a message of strength.
“I hope they enjoy the journey of learning how to find a hero within yourself even when you feel like no one has your back and learning how to take back your life from things that have tried to rob you from it,” Vasquez said.
