Celebrated stage and film actor turned multi award-winning filmmaker Talbot Perry Simons latest film ”Still the Drums” has been selected to screen as part of the prestigious New York International Independent Film and Video Festival (NYIIFVF). This compelling film has already been well received by critics and won two awards at their Los Angeles sold out world premiere during the summer. Still the Drums was selected by the NYIIFVF Jury as “Winner of Best Feature Directorial Debut” and Winner of Best Screenplay.
Written, produced edited and directed by Perry Simons, Still the Drums is a post Vietnam war mystery about friendship, patriotism, heroism and post-traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD). The film is a compelling intense story of four childhood friends sent off to fight in Vietnam. One does not return. Thirty-nine years later, his body is found and an ensuing mystery begins to unfold. As memories flood back into life the comradeship of these old best friends are put to the ultimate test.
Taking its title from “The Illusion of War,” a poem by Richard Le Gallienne, at the end of the American Civil War “Still the Drums” takes place mainly in the backroom of a closed company with flashbacks to the Bronx in 1958 and to Vietnam in 1968.
