GPS the Movie: Back By Popular Demand

Independent Thriller Continues its Theatrical Run

 

SEATTLE , WA – December 16, 2007 - Back by popular demand! The suspense/thriller GPS returns to Seattle ’s Central Cinema for ten screenings January 9th – 13th. GPS, a movie based on a treasure hunt game that uses GPS coordinates, has been playing the last several months to sold-out crowds in Washington State. Most recently, a special-event screening was held at Olympia ’s historic Capitol Theatre on December 7th. The movie was followed up by an hour-long Question & Answer session with Director Eric Colley and Producer Hallie Shepherd.

                Audiences and the press both love the movie! Film critic Matthew Green, who was present at the Olympia screening, wrote in his review: “The suspense, suspicions, and surprises will delight fans of scary movies” and, “The production values are remarkable for an independent film.”

                GPS also took home the award for Best Local Film at the Tacoma Film Festival in October. Tickets to that screening quickly sold out and many people had to be turned away at the door, prompting the festival to quickly put together a second screening for the next afternoon. GPS was the only feature-length film at the festival with multiple screenings.

                The movie follows a group of college friends that embark on a GPS treasure hunt in the Northwest wilderness in search of money. Instead of finding buried treasure, they find a buried coffin that contains photos of a kidnapped woman and GPS coordinates that lead deeper into the forest. The friends question if the photos real or part of the game.

                Central Cinema previously had six screenings of GPS, all of which sold out, and thus prompted the theatre to bring the movie back for this second run, beginning January 9th.
