Hatebreed and Kingdom of Sorrow frontman Jamey Jasta recently told us that "New York Blood," the horror/gangster film executive produced by him and directed by Nick Oddo ("I Hate You," "Luscious Johnny: The Wrestler"), will debut on March 1 at the 2008 New York International Independent Film & Video Festival. A DVD release will follow in April.
"New York Blood" stars Agnostic Front guitarist Vinnie Stigma in his acting debut as a drug dealer and gangster who runs a New York whore house. The movie also features Marvin W. Schwartz ("I Hate You") and there are cameos by various members of the New York Hardcore community, including Sheer Terror singer Paul Bearer.
"It's low budget, but it's a cool movie to watch," Jasta says. "It moves good, it’s interesting and entertaining. And I think people will appreciate this as Vinnie’s first film of hopefully many."
Jasta co-produced the music for the production with Agnostic Front guitarist Phil Caivano (ex-Monster Magnet), who also scored the movie. Make up and special effects were tackled by Brian Spears. "Nick and I are going to make a bunch of other films," Jasta says, "and we're going to get the who's who of metal, hardcore and punk in there because I feel like we're at this really good time where these opportunities are available to us and we need to seize them. And a lot of these guys are good actors, especially Vinnie."
