WOMEN’S STUDIES DIRECTOR LONNIE MARTIN,
ACTRESS JUDITH O’DEA,
AND ADDITIONAL CAST MEMBERS
TO BE INTERVIEWED ON INTERNET RADIO
Women’s Studies writer/director Lonnie Martin, and co-stars Judith O’Dea, Cindy Marie Martin, and Tara Garwood will participate in a live interview on Blog Talk Radio’s Movie Geeks United! broadcast this Wednesday, July 18, at 10pm (EST). The show can be accessed in live or archived format at www.blogtalkradio.com/moviegeeksunited.
Women’s Studies, which began shooting this month and has already been prominently featured by the likes of Fangoria magazine and JoBlo’s Arrow in the Head website, tells the story of a pregnant grad student and her friends who are held captive at a women's academy that is populated by a cult of feminists bent on the enslavement of men. More than a typical horror film, Women’s Studies harkens to the classic genre pictures that relished in subversive social commentary, as it presents an intelligent look at groupthink, women's issues, and how blind belief in a one-sided dogma can create a terrorist.
Writer/director Lonnie Martin has written over a dozen scripts for stage and screen. Through his company, Ningen Manga Productions, Mr. Martin has produced works that have earned accolades from the Santa Fe Writer’s Project, the Source Theatre Festival, the 48 Hour Film Project, as well as the Temecula Valley and West Chester film festivals.
Actress Judith O’Dea became an integral part of cinematic history with her immortal portrayal of Barbara in George Romero’s 1968 film Night of the Living Dead. Her resume includes more than 40 years of extensive credits on film, stage, radio and television. In addition, Ms. O’Dea is also an accomplished writer and owner of O’Dea Communications, a communications consulting and training company.
Women’s Studies co-star, co-producer and publicist Cindy Marie Martin has played a variety of roles on stage with the Repertory Theatre of America, the Elkins Shakespeare Festival, the West End Dinner Theatre, Venus Theatre, and the Landless Theatre Company, in addition to a series of featured roles on various short films.
Tara Garwood is a highly accomplished stage and screen actress who has received multiple raves from critics and audiences alike. She will soon be featured on the big screen for the August release of The Invasion, starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig.
The broadcast will also feature a separate interview with acclaimed character actor Spencer Garrett, co-star of the new film I Know Who Killed Me and the upcoming Charlie Wilson’s War.
