Danger Close will premiere on Thursday, March 9, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. at the historic Tampa Theater located at 711 N Franklin St., Tampa. Directors Christian Tureaud and David Salzberg, Executive Producer Wendy R. Anderson, Producer/Star Alex Quade and the Gold Star parents of Rob Pirelli will attend the premiere.

"We are honored to host this premiere of Danger Close as Tampa is home to CENTCOM and SOCOM out of MacDill Air Force Base and give our community the first chance to see this powerful film," Monica Varner, Executive Director of GIFF.

"Film can help us think, and see the world through a wider view, or a different perspective. Film can give us insight into a circumstance we'd rather not have firsthand. Danger Close is one of those films, and we hope the GIFF audience will enjoy it," said Mary McDonald, Community Relations Director at Suncoast Credit Union.

"We're excited to share this film with Christian's home-state and with an audience that we know will appreciate these stories that Alex is bringing to the world's attention," stated filmmakers Christian Tureaud and David Salzberg.

"We are so honored to work with this filmmaking team, who has brought so much integrity and insight to this unique world of special ops, and now will take the Gasparilla audience to the frontline," says Julie Candelaria, Sr. Vice President of Marketing at Gravitas Ventures.

The Suncoast Credit Union Gasparilla International Film Festival runs from March 2-9 and will feature over 100 films from around the world, including Danger Close.

Explaining the Ending of MULHOLLAND DRIVE

MULHOLLAND DRIVE is a complex and surreal film directed by David Lynch, known for its non-linear narrative and dreamlike sequences. The ending is open to interpretation and has been the subject of much debate among viewers. Here's a breakdown of the ending: Diane's Dream vs. Reality: Throughout the film, there are two main narrative threads: one follows Betty/Diane's dreamlike experiences in Hollywood, and the other delves into Diane's harsh reality. The ending reveals that the majority of the film has been a dream constructed by Diane Selwyn, a failed actress, as a means to escape the guilt and pain of her actions. Betty/Diane's Descent into Madness: Betty, played by Naomi Watts, represents Diane's idealized self—a hopeful and innocent aspiring actress. However, as the film progresses, it becomes clear that Betty's story is unraveling, and her identity begins to merge with Diane's. This culminates in the revelation that Betty is merely a construct of Di...

4K Blu-ray Review: Drop (2025) — A Tense, Tech-Driven Thriller That Mostly Sticks the Landing

In Drop, director Christopher Landon (Freaky, Happy Death Day) crafts a nerve-wracking thriller centered on a devastating dilemma: would you take a life to save the ones you love? The story follows Violet, a widowed single mom attempting to re-enter the dating world after years of grief and recovery. Played with emotional precision by Meghann Fahy, Violet finds herself on a promising first date with the affable and seemingly genuine Henry (Brandon Sklenar) in an elegant, glass-walled Chicago restaurant. But their evening takes a sinister turn when Violet receives a disturbing message via a sleek, anonymous app called DigiDrop: if she doesn’t kill her date before the check arrives, her son and sister will die. What unfolds is a tightly wound 95-minute thriller that feels both classic and timely. The film builds its suspense through confinement, not action. Most of the story unfolds in real-time at their dinner table, creating a pressure-cooker environment that reflects Violet’s psycholo...
