MainFrame Pictures have released the teaser trailer for their forthcoming feature film Founders Day, which comes from writer/director/producer Erik C. Bloomquist, a Connecticut-based actor and filmmaker whose recent film Midnight Brew, starring Kyle Edward Cranston and Greta Quezada, recently played the Trinity Film Festival and took home the Screener’s Choice Award.

In Founders Day, the quaint, suburban town of Fairfield is shaken by the shocking murder of high school student, Melissa Thompson. The prime suspect is jailed, and the residents look to the town’s bicentennial celebration to provide a sense of strength and normalcy. When more bodies turn up, however, the citizens of Fairfield grow increasingly suspicious of one another. With no clear motive, everyone is a suspect.

Having shot the trailer in August 2013, Bloomquist and his team expect to shoot Founders Day in Connecticut in Autumn 2014 and release the film in Autumn 2015.

There are plenty of real life horrors out there to go along with the made-up stuff that we hold near and dear. In fact, there's probably more. Constant jokes are made about Mexican border-crossers, but the way our country is going ... pretty soon the shoe is likely to be on the other foot. Director Chris Peckover is taking the subject of "illegals" and adding a horror twist to the affair.

Bloody-Disgusting scored the skinny on Peckover's new film, Undocumented, which tells the tale of a documentary crew who accompany a group of illegal immigrants crossing the border but run afoul when they're captured by a gang of sadistic radicals in New Mexico.
