LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, July 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Paranormal happenings are on the rise in Flint, Michigan this summer. On August 7th, 2022, Writer/Director Bron Theron’s latest film, Half Dead Fred, will debut at the famous Capitol Theater. The new film, shot in Flint, will star Corin Nemec and Jordan C, Michael as they work to solve a mysterious supernatural murder case. Rising actress Heidi Schooler, known for her on-screen and voiceover work, plays the supporting lead role of Roberta Dalton. Jason London, a star in his own right, plays the role of Matthew, Roberta’s husband.

Schooler reflects on the project saying, “I had the honor of being part of the fab suspense paranormal film, Half Dead Fred, which we shot in Flint last October. Bron is an incredibly talented writer and director, and the entire cast and crew were awesome to work with.”

Heidi Schooler has been steadily working in Hollywood for years. Viewers may remember her from recent roles such as Scarlett Watkins in the Roku TV series, Cypher, or the title role in the newly-expanded comedic series, Read to Me, Heidi, wherein Heidi and her famous side-kick puppet, Millicent, tell stories with the help of Heidi’s many voiceover characters.

Working together with director John Beaton Hill, Schooler stars in and is the creator/producer of the comedic film Millicent & Me and the Apple Tree, which has been making its mark on the indie-film festival circuits. She is coming off her recent win for “Best Comedy Short” at the French Riviera Film Festival. Before that, Schooler has been nominated for over ten others, including the Toronto Independent Film Festival of Cift, the London Indie Short Festival, the San Francisco Arthouse Short Festival, Niagara Falls International Short Festival, The Kapow Intergalactic Festival (in L.A.), and the Hong Kong Indie Film Festival. Also entertaining audiences, it was an Official Selection in the Paris Independent Film Festival, and at the We Make Movies International Film Festival (in L.A.).

Bron Theron’s Half Dead Fred is one of Schooler’s most exciting projects to date.

“What was so exciting about Half Dead Fred was I knew it was going to be a fabulous film to work on as soon as I read the script! Bron has written such a cool supernatural film that's also funny, with tongue-in-cheek humor, so I know audiences will enjoy it as the story unfolds! I was also super psyched to work with this particular cast! They’re all really wonderful actors, so to get a chance to work with each of them was a real treat!”

The story behind Theron’s inspiration for the film helped Schooler understand the characters more thoroughly. Theron began work in Flint to help beautify the community with the Flint Public Art Project, where he met the Founder of FPAP, and one of the feature film project’s future producers, Joe Schipani, who wrote the book called “Haunted Flint.” Schipani is also featured in Half Dead Fred as the character “James.” The world premiere is a red carpet event that will see the cast, crew, and production team return to Flint next month to debut the film.

Half Dead Fred premieres on August 7th, 2022, at the Capitol Theater in Flint, MI - You can purchase tickets to the event by clicking here.
