'F.E.A.R.' screening to benefit Panida

| February 4, 2022 1:00 AM

SANDPOINT — Set in a dystopian world, “F.E.A.R.” is an action thriller that follows a young family as they struggle to survive the harsh environment of a Pacific Northwest winter during a deadly pandemic, as well as the threat of zombies and bandits who threaten their lives and steal their supplies.

“F.E.A.R.” was written Jason Tobias, who stars in the film that he and Geoff Reisner co-directed. Produced by Action Figure Entertainment, the movie was filmed by Sandpoint-based cinematographer, Jimmy Matlosz.

“We made the film on a shoestring budget, in some harsh conditions and pulled it off without a hitch," Matlosz said. There are lots of good stories from the production that I love to share. As a newly elected Panida board member, I’m thrilled to be able to bring this premier screening to Sandpoint to benefit the historic theater. This will be the first theatrical screening of the film in the U.S.”

"F.E.A.R. - Forget Everything And Run" will screen Saturday, Feb. 5, at the Panida Theater. The showing starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10, available online or at the door night of screening.

Matlosz will be on hand for a question-and-answer session about the making of the film, and at a meet-and-greet session to discuss TIFC's future vision.

Matlosz founded The Idaho Film Company in 2020 and has penned several screenplays slated for production in North Idaho beginning in this fall.
