VERMONT ACTING TROUPE TO RELEASE MOVIE & OST ALBUM DEC 9


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, October 11, 2022 Central Vermont…


Penny Towers & Starburst Records announced the upcoming December 9, 2022 release of the film “The Case of The Time Traveling Serial Killer”, a Film Noir Black Comedy Detective story with an accompanying original soundtrack Album!  Shot entirely on location in the Greater Montpelier, VT Area and with 17 of the 21 roles in the film being played by actors from this area, this is very much a Vermont home grown motion picture event!

In the film, Penny Towers plays the lead role of Gumshoe Detective, Tony Labatchi, Jr. in 1946 Los Angeles along with several different characters of various temperaments who will immerse you in the dire circumstances in which they find themselves. It’s a quirky take on the Film Noir detective genre with both serious and comical results.  Tony Labatchi, Jr. is assisted in his investigation by his father, Tony Labatchi, Sr. (played by Jay Carney), a now retired private investigator on the case of his life.  In addition to playing the lead role of Tony Labatchi, Jr., Penny Towers also plays 8 other roles detailed in the Credits below. 


The original soundtrack album for the film is being simultaneously released digitally online and as a two-disc set containing a DVD of the movie and a CD of the original soundtrack.  The film includes music by the following independent musicians and producers: Alan Hovden, Greg Johnson, Rapazzi (Bobby & Leslie Sahlen, Jay Carney & Nery Bauer), Penny Towers, Frank Farbehind and Lar Duggan. 


 


Both the movie and the album are being simultaneously released coincident with the World Premiere of the movie on Friday, December 9, 2022 at the historic art house theater “The Savoy Theater” in Montpelier, Vermont with a showing at 7:00 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm).  Tickets are now available:
