Unfortunately, his efforts to debut Tales of an Ancient Empire during the recently concluded San Diego Comic-Con didn’t pan out, but that hasn’t stopped director Albert Pyun from coming up with Plan B. This weekend, on Saturday, July 31st to be exact, the film will have its world premiere at Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, Kentucky.
Tales is screening at 9:00 pm, and the show will be followed by a Q&A with director Pyun, writer Cynthia Curnan, and director of photography Phillip Waters. They will be guests at the Fest on August 1st as well.
