Carson High School graduate and Reno-based filmmaker Tyler Bourns is announcing the launch of a new feature film called “Desert Shadows.”
His award-winning company, Bourns Productions, Inc., has been producing commercials, tourism, corporate, web series, and music videos in the Northern Nevada region for nearly ten years.
This upcoming “creature-feature” in the horror category will be mostly filmed in Northern Nevada providing opportunity for local acting talent, crew, extras, investors and local businesses to participate in the production of a Nevada made feature film.
"I'm so excited to bring this film to Northern Nevada while bringing in some national talent along with a ton of local cast and crew," said the film's writer, director and producer, Tyler Bourns. "It's going to be a wonderful opportunity for the community to work on something new and exciting together. I think this project will serve as a great stepping stone for bringing film back to this area."
Bourns Productions is hosting a kick-off party with cast meet-and-greet on May 15 at 5:30 p.m. at The Eddy in Reno.
The festivities at the free event will include a meet and greet with cast and crew of the film, including famed Disney voice-actor Bill Farmer, who has performed the voices of Goofy, Pluto and many other popular characters.
A panel and Q&A session will enlighten guests on all of the details about the project and how they can get involved in the film.
Wood-fired-pizza, a taco truck and drinks will be available along with a bunch of fun film swag.
Doors Open at 5:30 p.m. and presentations will begin around 6:30 p.m and wrapping by 9:30 p.m.
While actor Bill Farmer is widely known for his voice-acting in films like "A Goofy Movie" and "Space Jam," he has long been an avid fan of horror movies.
“I'm so excited to branch out into the horror movie industry and join the cast of Desert Shadows!” Bill Farmer said. “I think the film will bring a great blend of old school horror and drama together, and that's something that really attracted me to the project. “You'll have to wait until its released to find out if I survive,” he added.
The film Desert Shadows follows a man hellbent on finding his missing brother. Teamed up with an overeager paranormal studies student, they risk everything to find and save him from a deadly creature that has roamed the desert for centuries.
