Nashville, TN— Music City is on a steady track to becoming referred to as “movie city” thanks to the efforts of locally talented film makers like Howard L. Bell IV. His production company, Habakkuk Films will have a Red Carpet event premiere this weekend for their latest film KEYED: A DEADLY GAME OF SEX “LIES” BETRAYAL. The film is an unpredictable, sexy and suspenseful look at the provocative subject matters of “swingers,” and black sexuality.
The film has a provocative subject matter that is intriguing as well as issues relevant to today’s society. The movie takes on a feel of Pulp Fiction, with the sexiness of Basic Instinct. Those are some rather risqué topics for a city the Bible-belt region of Nashville. “The story is totally fiction but yes, it may raise some eyebrows for some but I think Nashville audiences can handle the subject matter. We’ve test marketed the film and so far, people have loved it,” says
film maker Bell.
According to Mr. Bell, Tribune sports editor and film critic Ron Wynn has given the movie his own two thumbs up of approval.
The world premiere screening of the self-produced feature film KEYED, takes place on Friday, August 22 through the 28th at Regal Cinemas Hollywood 27 Theater in 100 Oaks. The opening night will be a star studded event with distinguished guests locally and regionally. BET Comic View veteran Ron Mosely will host the event with his brand of comedic antics, along with Nashville’s own funny man comedian Renard Hirsch. There also will be giveaway prizes before and after the screening such as: T-shirts that proudly promote the title of the film, key chains with the very popular website address imprinted, and a musical soundtrack that has music from the film and music inspired by the movie.
