Dead on Arrival by Stephen C. Sepher is an extraordinarily captivating film ranking high on all criteria one can apply to a film noir thriller and bringing it close to an artistic exercise in film making.
We have the story’s lush location in Louisiana’s bayous, a superbly executed production design relying on the facilities the sleepy small town offers with its country roads and water ways, and sets ranging from junk yards to the local seedy night club with its assorted collection...

Review: Dead On Arrival by Stephen C. Sepher (US, 2017)
by Martin I. Petrov
There’s not an easy answer, and in most cases, knowing that the end is around the corner wouldn’t have been the preferred option. Though, that’s not what Sam Collins’ fate has in store for him.
A young man speeds up on the highway, and minutes after he is kneeling breathless next to his car, suffering from severe pains. First time director Stephen C. Sepher leaves a lot of unanswered qu...
Dead On Arrival updates the classic 1950 film noir thriller DOA with a cast of misfits and a Deep South twist. Sam Collins (Billy Flynn in his feature film debut) is a pharmaceutical sales rep sent to Louisiana to close the deal of a lifetime. After a lavish New Year’s Eve party, Sam finds out he's been poisoned. In the desperately brief window the fast acting toxin gives him, he must solve his own murder amidst an ensemble cast of colorful characters, few of whom have his best inter...
Director/writer Stephen C. Sepher's film 'Dead on Arrival' (2017) is an augural noir thriller about corruption and intrigue in small town America, where dirty cops, sketchy dealers and the mob have created a world murkier than the Louisiana Bayou. A haunting story, the film gives a bitter sweet comment on the ironies of a world so vibrant and yet so ailing.
Producers Kim Barnard, Rory Fradella and Stephen C Sepher have made a riveting thriller set in one of America's last real...
Stephen C. Sepher revamps 1950’s classic film “D.O.A” about a man’s pursuit of who poisoned him and why.
Starring actor Billy Flynn, (best known from the television soap opera "Days of Our Lives") playing the role of Sam Collins, a pharmaceutical rep, traveling to a small town in Louisiana to close the deal of a lifetime with Dr. Alexander, a doctor specializing in Vaccine research.
Following New Year’s Eve party, Sam is as good as dead after being a v...
A pharmaceutical sales representative is driving when he has a seizure and barely manages to stop his car and crawl out. Picked-up by a Sheriff on patrol and taken to a hospital, he is told that he has been poisoned and will die in the next 24 hours. Time to realise that you are just two minutes into the film, when the stage is already set for a noir thriller that is inspired by the 1950 classic but speaks the cinematic language of today, delving into the dark world of drugs, greed and forbidd...
Written by Laurie Gordon.
Stephen C. Sepher’s Dead on Arrival is inspired by Rudolph Mate’s D.O.A., the classic film noir D.O.A. stands the test of time while succeeding to maintain the integrity of the original story. Dead On Arrival is a sexy macabre thriller set against a lush backdrop shot in the hauntingly beautiful bayous of Louisiana.

Ever wonder how much the world has changed since the half century mark? Take the case of the Edmond O’Brien noir D.O.A, released in 1950, then jump to the Dennis Quaid-Meg Ryan remake in 1988. Now step into the 2017 reboot, DEAD ON ARRIVAL. Written and directed by Stephen C. Sepher, this is one of the independent films that debuted at this year’s Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF).

Directed and written by Stephen C. Sepher USA 2017 (97 minutes)
This is a brilliantly atmospheric, engaging and stylish contemporary adult thriller with a cultish pedigree, as it is inspired by a famous film noir from 195O, also called D.O.A, which due to a copywright confusion slipped into the public domain and has already been variously remade, Down Under, as Color me Dead (1969) and as D.O.A (1988), starring Dennis Quaid as the moribund hero, and...
Great reception from the audience in the theatre! and an homage to original DOA 1950 from which the film is inspired.

why you decided to make DOA?
We thought that it has been a while since a good Noir film has been made and we were very much attracted to the concept of a man being poisoned with less than 24 hours to live! The idea of what you would do if you are caught in a small town where you cannot trust anyone and your clock is ticking was pretty intriguing. This concept was very exciting for me as a director.
Our film is inspired by the 1950 DOA, but it is certainly not...
