Bitter Feast's World Premiere at the 2010 LA Film Fest'

Bitter Feast is a film from Jo Maggio that will have a World Premiere at the 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival. In this film, a critic is on the run, caught and then tortured by a disgruntled chef who does not like his negative reviews. The tables are turned and soon the reviewer is critiqued for his knowledge of the culinary arts. Not to be missed, Bitter Feast showings will be announced shortly and the film fest' itself gets under way June 17th. A teaser trailer for the film is available inside.

The synopsis for Bitter Feast here:

"An over-zealous television chef (Peter Grey) kidnaps a powerful and notoriously snarky food critic (J.T. Franks) after a particularly nasty review delivers the final blow to Grey's already plummeting career.

Sequestered deep in the woods of the Hudson Valley, Grey keeps Franks chained up like an animal, presenting him with a series of deceptively difficult cooking challenges - from eggs over easy to precisely grilled steak medium rare - punishing him brutally and sadistically for anything less than total perfection.

An exploration of the creative impulse gone awry, Bitter Feast is a horror film for the latent foodie in all of us" (Trailer).

Release: June 17th, 2010 (Limited Engagement).

Director/writer: Joe Maggio.

Cast: Joshua Leonard, James LeGros, Mario Batali, Megan Hilty, Amy Seimetz, John Speredakos, Owen Campbell, Tobias Campbell, Graham Reznick, Sean Reid, and Paul El Sherif.
