A Theatre Exile & Reconstruction Pictures Production - CELLAR: Written and Directed by Ben Hickernell, Cellar weaves character drama into a gritty thriller. The film begins as two former friends wake up locked in a basement with only a supply of canned foods, water and... a gun. The film spreads outwards as flashbacks fill in the lives they've lived so far, and yet draws inwards as the two men contend with their confinement and struggle to answer the question: is life in a cold, dark room eating canned beans worth living? - Philly City Paper
Cellar has been accepted to film festivals in Canada, Greece and Philadelphia, where it premiered to sold-out shows and won the award for Best Technical Achievement (partly thanks to ARTFORCE artist, DP Michael Vechesky). Cellar also recently won the Philadelphia Theatre Alliance award for Artistic Collaboration and Best Drama/Suspense feature at the Hollywood DV Film Festival.
