Sean Young Adds Beauty And Gravitas As The Wife Of A Desperate Hostage Taker In Ghosts Never Sleep"

Young to Grace the Beaches of Fort Myers, Florida Where Picture Plays In Festival Competition

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) April 11, 2005 -- Star of more than sixty feature films including "Blade Runner" and "No Way Out", Sean Young is set to attend the 5th Annual Fort Myers Beach Film Festival to promote her new film "Ghosts Never Sleep" also starring Tony Goldwyn and Faye Dunaway. Ghosts, from first-time director Steve Freedman makes its east coast bow at the Florida festival, which runs April 21-24, 2005.

Tragedy and dark humor are seamlessly woven together in this psychological tale of a writer (Goldwyn) stricken by memories of a haunting past known only to him and his unforgiving mother (Dunaway). The writers latest work of fiction, a screenplay depicting graphic childhood abuse, arouses suspicion and concern in his wife (Young). But it fuels a single-minded desire in Melissa, a desperate actress turned producer (newcomer Shea Alexander) whos willing to suffer any indignity to get the film made with her playing the female lead. Ghosts also features a devilish cameo from stand-up comic Jason Stuart as a casually devious talk show host who ambushes Dunaways character.

Working with Sean has been a truly wonderful experience," says Freedman. I initially had concerns about casting two actresses on my first film who were rumored to be 'difficult. But both of these ladies always showed up ready for action. Sean in particular always gave 100% and has been ready and willing to assist us in any way weve needed."

A More East to Go Films production, "Ghosts Never Sleep" is being released internationally by Slamdance Media Group through Harmony Gold. A US distributor is not yet set.

Festivities at Fort Myers Beach include two full length feature films under the stars on the Beach Thursday and Friday nights, April 21 and 22. An interesting selection of independent features, documentaries, shorts, and animated films will screen daily at The Beach Theater. A Saturday night red carpet awards reception and entertainment will take place at the Diamond Head Resort.
