Back in 1969 George A. Romero and company put the Pittsburgh film community on the map with his seminal classic Night of the Living Dead. Now, decades later, another group of young filmmakers is looking to carry on the tradition of low-budget terror with Monongahela.

The film is directed by Cayce Mell and stars Alex Russo, Scott Sullivan, Jake Mulliken, and Erin Ryan. We have a couple of teasers and the first bit of artwork below. Look for more on this one soon.

Synopsis
Monongahela follows Kate Walsh (Alexandra Russo, Dying to Meet You) after she misses her flight, loses her job, and meets two men in the airport bar: Mick (Scott Sullivan, Brothers at Last) and Ben Munroe (Jake Mulliken, “Breaking Bad”). Mick and Ben reveal to Kate that they are cryptozoologists, researchers who spend their time chasing down Bigfoot and camping out on the shores of Loch Ness. When Kate asks them what they are doing in Pittsburgh, they inform her that they have come to investigate sightings of a mysterious creature lurking in the Monongahela River.
