Horseman bolts home with trailer award

The trailer for a local genre thriller has taken out top honours in an international awards ceremony.

Writer/director Steven Kastrissios' debut feature The Horseman has picked up the award for “Best International Thriller/ Horror trailer” at the 11th Annual Golden Trailer Awards.

The trailer was produced by Hammer Creative and commissioned by the film's sales company, Media 8 Entertainment, both based in Los Angeles, and beat stiff competition from films such as Lars von trier's Antichrist.

“To tell you the truth, I'm quite surprised,” said Kastrissios. “Whenever the Americans present you with their version of your film, it takes a while to become accustomed to it, and this was no exception. But it came together in the end.”

The Horseman debuts on Blu Ray, DVD & VOD this week in USA and will begin a limited theatrical run on July 8th at Sydney's Chauvel theatre and Brisbane's Tribal Theatre through Umbrella Entertainment.
