North American release of Kandahar Break at Philadelphia Independent Film Festival ...

Kandahar Break (2009)

This is an excellent movie that received a great response at the festival this year. Tight film making, excellent acting, and a sure fire story line that makes for great suspense, love and intrigue set in a pre / post 9/11 world. NYC will be the site of it's theatrical release in September and we'll be there.

Speaking with David Whitney at the fest exposed us to some real life stories about shooting in Pakistan, working in a Taliban influenced environment, and a lot more. We'll have a full review soon.

Shaun Dooley (Actor), Dean Andrews (Actor), David Whitney (Director) | Rated: Unrated | Format: DVD

Released on September 21, 2010
