Film Named Best Mystery Film at 2022 HRIFF
Mystery feature Around Robin by award-winning writer/producer/director Peter Meech will have its Southern California premiere at Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival (HRIFF) on September 1, 2022 at 9 p.m. PST.
The film was named Best Mystery Film at HRIFF 2022.
In the film, a young celebrity receives a letter from a mysterious stalker and develops catalepsy, a condition that paralyzes her whenever she feels threatened. As more letters arrive, suspicion falls on members of her inner circle, all of whom are dangerously obsessed with her. The film stars Clementine Nicholson, Torrance Coombs, Ann Pirvu, and Meech.
Around Robin was shot on location in Los Angeles, in and around a charming postwar apartment building. The film combines professional actors with actual residents of the building who serve as a Greek chorus, commenting on the murder that lies at the center of the film.
Around Robin had its world premiere at the Capri Hollywood International Film Festival, and won Best Cast Ensemble at the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival.
