Poster, trailer and website for Open Water
3rd Jun 04
 The poster (see right) and the trailer for the upcoming 'Swimming with Sharks' independent film can now be found on the official Open Water website - www.openwatermovie.com.
The low-budget, digitally shot movie made great waves at this year's Sundance festival and is currently lined up for an August 20th US release via Lions Gate Films.
Based on a true story, Open Water focuses on a scuba diver's worst nightmare. An overworked couple - Daniel and Susan, both certified divers - take to the sea for a few hours relaxation in the deep. Unfortunately the boat returns to shore without them and when Daniel and Susan resurface they find themselves stranded 18 miles out, drifting in shark-infested waters.
Judging by the trailer and the numerous favourable reviews found on line (check out www.bloody-disgusting's review here) this could be THE indie hit of the year, and the biggest Shark film since a certain other maverick film-maker first made us scared of the sea way back in 1976 with a mechanical flop called Bruce.
More Information
The film was written and directed by Chris Kentis, a New York based filmmaker with a passion for scuba diving. Working with his wife, producer Laura Lau, the film was shot in the Bahamas over 2001-2002 on PD-150 cameras with Lau's sister as their sole production assistant.
