TRICOAST ENTERTAINMENT announces the U.S. release of the mean, barren-spirited, political crime drama, ‘LONE STAR DECEPTION’, arriving on U.S. digital streaming platforms March 24th.
From directors, Don Okolo (The Land) and Robert Peters (30 Days in Atlanta, A Trip to Jamaica), LONE STAR DECEPTION (aka ‘The Candidate’) is a political thriller starring Oscar nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Anthony Ray Parker (The Matrix), Eliza Roberts (National Lampoon’s Animal House) and Gary Lee Mahmoud (Blue Bloods).
Written by Okolo alongside Ed DeZevallos, LONE STAR DECEPTION follows Stuart Sagle (Gary Lee Mahmoud), who is leading in the race for Governor of Texas until a fling with a prostitute threatens to derail his campaign. His biggest supporter uncle, Bill Sagle (Eric Roberts), devises a guile plan to put his long-time employee, Tim Bayh (Anthony Ray Parker), into the race as the second candidate – becoming the first black candidate to run for Governor in Texas’ history. Thrust into circumstances he neither understands nor can control, Tim must weave his way past assassination attempts and his own demons, putting him and his family in danger. Will he decide to quit the race, ride the wave to the statehouse, or die trying?
Showing only to audiences in Texas, LONE STAR DECEPTION premiered at WorldFest-Houston 2019, competing in ‘Special Jury Award in Dramatic Narrative’ and ‘Gold Remi Award in Political Action’ Drama. In addition, Eric Roberts was awarded WorldFest-Houston’s Lifetime Achievement Award in Acting.
TriCoast Entertainment will release the political thriller on March 24th, streaming on various platforms (Vimeo on Demand, Amazon, FlixFling, InDemand, Vudu and FANDANGO).
