Insurgent Pictures proudly presents the world premiere of:
PRAYER TO A VENGEFUL GOD – Directed and starring Dan Eberle (JAILCITY, THE LOCAL)
After his wife is tragically murdered, and he is mortally wounded at the hands of her murderer, John Krause rouses from a four-month dream to a waking nightmare of pain, addiction, violation, loss, and finally, all-consuming vengeance.
PRAYER TO A VENGEFUL GOD is the story of one man’s journey from upstanding citizen, to debilitated mental case, to battle-hardened street killer. And all to kill a man he’s never met, to commemorate a wife he never really knew.
Tacitly told in a lyrical cinematic style, entirely without dialogue, PRAYER TO A VENGEFUL GOD is a silent study of how the lust for vengeance twists and rends, and despite its carnal satisfactions, never changes the past.

“I was a bit surprised at the power of The Local. It’s a movie that draws you into its characters really well and with the relentless pace, we grow even closer with this no name drifter. After it was all over, I just felt my jaw on the floor.”

“…Dan Eberle was a premiere jazz guitarist who decided to take a run at film. We’re glad he did. It’s been a great sprint right out of the gate. He’s written, directed, edited, and starred in his own independent pictures, earning instant recognition and praise as a force to be reckoned with. We’ll talk to him about his career as an independent artist, and discuss his latest film The Local (trailer below), a gritty crime drama filmed on the streets of Brooklyn…”

“…The film’s tagline, You can change your lot in life suggests that the heart of the story lies in this transcendent message. But the story is much more elusive than that. While it incorporates some of the familiar elements of its genre—drugs, violence, sex, redemption—the film is a tune unique unto itself….”
