With the original music for the soundtrack and score produced by the guitarist of popular heavy metal band Ice Nine Kills, Ricky Armellino, the film which opened at Bushwick Film Festival has been featured in Variety, Fangoria and many more.
It’s a riotous slasher throwback that pays tribute to horror cinema of the 1980s and 1990s, paired to the story of a band who get a once in a lifetime chance. The cost? Their lives.

“This person they meet, Mister Director, represents the evil in the music business,” said filmmaker Don Capria. “DIRECTOR’S CUT is a cautionary tale to the youth of today to mind your surroundings and tread carefully when you are seeking fame and fortune – there are some dangerous people out there waiting for you, especially in the entertainment industry.“
The movie stars veteran character actor Louis Lombardi (THE SOPRANOS, SUICIDE KINGS, 24) as a mysterious, murderous sociopath preying on a punk band’s desperate desire for fame. In DIRECTOR’S CUT, a Long Island punk band meets a mysterious director through social media who generously offers to shoot their first music video for free. Desperate for fame, they drive deep into the Pennsylvania woods in hopes of making a killer music video. But after a long night of drinking with the gregarious director, the band wakes up to find a very different version of him on set. Egos and opinions clash, with the director unveiling a terrible anger and uncompromising need for total control. As his professionalism breaks down, so does his sanity – with the unhinged director and his assistant turning the band members into the unwitting stars of his very own snuff film.
