Emmemax Films Moves Forward with The Mirrors of Longreach Mansion

Syracuse, NY, 27 December 2007- Emmemax Films (EMF) announces the development of it’s second feature film, titled The Mirrors of Longreach Mansion.

The Mirrors is a supernatural suspense that takes place on an island between the U.S./Canadian border. The mansion is 300 years old and inside every wall is covered with mirrors from floor to ceiling. No two mirrors are alike. Each mirror frame details the life story of the soul that is trapped inside the mirror. The only way the spirit can be released is by breaking the glass. It’s a new twist on the ten years bad luck brought on by breaking a mirror. With a rambunctious family just moving in, they find it difficult to not break a mirror or two. The Mirrors of Longreach Mansion will be directed by Michael Coonce from his original screenplay in 2008.

Emmemax Films is currently in Post-production of its first feature, Lonely Joe. EMF is currently in talks with After Dark Films and Lionsgate for a potential November 2008 theatrical release.

Lonely Joe is a supernatural suspense thriller based on true events that took place in South Texas about 20 years ago. A series of bizarre murders and disappearances inspire a haunting curiosity that drives newspaper reporter Michele Connelly (played by Erica Leerhsen) back to her hometown of Solvay, NY after 10 years to uncover what is truly happening on the railroad tracks behind Joe Gainard’s (played by David Fine) old farm. Hoping to discover the truth behind a decade of cover-ups and disappearances, she is stonewalled by several people along the way who would prefer that these tragedies remain a mystery.
