Britt Pitre indy movie, Feral, to be screened at Jackson Hall, Centenary College, Th, Dec 1, 7 pm

New Orleans filmmaker and Centenary graduate Britt Pitre, Class of 2002, and co-director Merrill Capps will test screen their independent film, Feral, on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. in Jackson Hall, Room 304 on the Centenary College campus.

Pitre and Capps, Doorway Entertainment, fled to the Atlanta area with clips of their year-long feature film project, Feral, just after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast region. Feral is now the last film shot entirely in funky St. Bernard Parish, a suburb of New Orleans.

“We were about halfway through post production when we left town. We packed our editing system and the movie’s master originals and came to Atlanta,” Capps said.

A psychological thriller, Feral is about a young couple’s desperate fight for survival, after an accidental murder while searching for their six-year-old daughter. The film questions the fine line between the human and the inhuman, civilization and the wild.
