SUSSEX — With $2,000 in his pocket, a camera and the use of a New Jersey farm, High Point Regional High School graduate Ryan Geiger was able to transport viewers to the 1950s where a zombie virus has broken out in his film “Town Red.”
The independent movie was recently recognized and accepted into the Cannes Film Festival in France in May along with three other festivals.
“I’m super stoked that my movie was played in a different country now,” said Geiger, 27 who served as Director and actor in his film.
When he first was accepted to Cannes, he though it was a mistake. It didn’t really hit him until he landed in France and arrived at the theater where the festival was taking place.
