A Beaver County filmmaker will premiere his first feature horror film in Sewickley

Since childhood, storytelling has been an “itch” in Joshua D. Maley’s brain. This Thursday, his efforts will come to fruition with the premiere of his first feature film, Waltz, on Oct. 17 at the Lindsay Theater in Sewickley. 

The movie, which was shot mostly in Beaver County in 2021, follows main character Alice, desperate for extra cash after she loses her job. Alice, played by Hannah Keeley, earns money by selling photos through an erotically charged social media site and, after an avid fan takes things too far, she finds herself in a fight for her life.
