Beholden Productions Profiled in the Montreal Gazette
BILL BROWNSTEIN, THE GAZETTE : Beholden Productions, the other co-winner of the Fringe Promo Contest, went relatively whole-hog with a $150 advertising budget. But talk about inspiration. To promote her neo-noir thriller One Night in Berlin, writer-director-producer Liesl Barrell opted for a clever mix of the macabre and the kinky. In an actual police-evidence bag, she enclosed real, spent bullet shells, bloodied cigarettes and lurid black-and-white-and-red photos of various human couplings.
