Tres Dias

aka 3 Days, aka Before the Fall (on Sundance)

2008 Spanish with English sub-titles

Dir F. Javier Gutierrez (Best Dir @Screamfest 2009)

Victor Clavjo (Best Actor, Screamfest 2009)

Mariana Cordero & Eduard Fernandez (supporting actor awards at a few

Spanish film festivals)

Also won kudos for editing, screenplay, and a Goya for Best Sound.

Middle-aged mother and son seek refuge at her other son's house in the

country after it is announced that an enormous meteor is hurtling toward

Earth. As chaos begins to take over Spain (the film's setting), a serial killer

breaks loose from prison seeking revenge against one of the sons for

stopping his spree years earlier. At the remote house are the woman's four

grandchildren, ages 5-16, who are completely unaware of the impending

doom, for their parents are in another city and their grandmother refuses to

let them know what is about to happen.

Rated R for some foul language from the hero and short, shocking scenes

of violence. Gripping suspense with fairly realistic action; the hero is pretty

wimpy, and puts his family into some unexpected danger. The villain is

slimy but low-key, and the grandma is a rock. The impending disaster is

effectively kept simmering in the background, adding to the tension. This is

Gutierrez' first feature film as a director and co-screenwriter -- very

impressive, like Kathryn Bigelow's debut (also a horror flick), Near Dark.

These are some sleeves I've come up with for LibriVox. Several generics for the Sci-Fi crowd, a couple of author-specifics from Brit Lit, and one celebrating all British writers of the downloaders' choice.

I've been recording books, short stories, non-fiction, poems, even songs for LibriVox. since February 2009. This is my output so far. (as of 3/27/10)...

I've provided direct links to a few of those projects that are now fully done and available to the public for easy download. Projects in green are my solos.

I also coordinate books, including: Anna of the Five Towns by Arnold Bennett, Astounding Stories - September 1930 issue, Aids to Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, A Florida Sketch-Book by Bradford Torrey, On a Chinese Screen by W Somerset Maugham, American Women's Literature, and several Coffee Break Collections (my own invention). I have soloed on several long short stories (The Offshore Pirate, Amy Foster, Rain), three memoirs (A Traveller in War-Time, Arizona Sketches, and The Long Ago), as well as full-length novels (A Little Florida Lady, The House of Mirth, and currently, Gentle Julia).
