Gregory Blair Wins 'Best Actor' at the Imaginarium Convention Film Festival!

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - EntSun -- Gregory Blair and "Beasts of the Field" won big at the Imaginarium Convention Film Festival, where Blair was awarded Best Actor and the film took four other awards, including Best Directing, Best Screenplay, Best Character Development and Best Plot. Blair shares the honor of the writing nods, having worked on the final version of the script.

"Beasts of the Field" tells the story of self-proclaimed cryptozoologist Lester Denton (Blair) and his wannabe television producer partner, Clarissa (Amber Dawn Fox), who lead a motley crew into dangerous woods to search for a legendary creature. Lester gets in over his head as treacherous terrain, wild animals, torrential rains, and the crumbling sanity of his partner threaten the lives of the crew. What begins as a light-hearted adventure turns to a brutal horror film of survival.

"I'm honored to have the film blessed with these awards," Blair said. "Chase worked a long time getting the project to happen; preproduction included an unusual amount of setbacks, recasting and rewriting. Then, when the production finally got it on its feet, the location was hit by a hurricane. It's a testament to perseverance that the film got made at all and these awards echo that. It doesn't just take a village, it takes a village that never gives up. If that isn't the spirit of independent filmmaking, I don't know what is."
