Area filmmaker to premiere horror feature film at The Lindsay Theater in Sewickley

After a year and a half of hard work, House of Tears will be coming to the big screen at The Lindsay Theater on Dec. 12. The Emerging Filmmakers Showcase series at The Lindsay is a huge boost for local up-and-comers.

“The goal is to be the place where local filmmakers—especially ones who have made films locally—can screen their movies,” said Josh Axelrod, director of communications and media relations at The Lindsay Theater.

Screenings typically happen once or twice a month, and there is no cost to the filmmakers—they get a real premiere experience for free. “It’s just a really mutually beneficial relationship for everyone because we literally roll out the red carpet,” Axelrod said.

“It’s a legit theater, it’s got the whole theater feel and I really wanted to try to do that,” House of Tears writer-director Josh Poe said of The Lindsay.
