Swarm of the Snakehead is a 2006[1] comedy/horror feature film directed by Frank A. Lama and Joel C. Denning[2] and written by Seth Hurwitz.[3] It is the first feature from producers Lama and Hurwitz's Baltimore-based production company Ten Pound Films.[citation needed]
The ensemble cast includes Rigg Kennedy (Slumber Party Massacre),[4] Miss Maryland Teen USA 2006 Jamie O'Brien,[5] and a cameo from Gunnar Hansen (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre).[6]
Swarm of the Snakehead was shot on 16 mm film in and around Easton, Maryland between 2002 and 2005.[2][3] Post-production was completed during the summer of 2006.[citation needed] The film premiered at The Charles Theatre in Baltimore on June 21, 2006.[5] Following the screening, the Baltimore CBS affiliate WJZ-TV, anchor and longtime Maryland personality Marty Bass called Swarm of the Snakehead "lots of fun" and "John Waters-esque."[citation needed]
While making Swarm of the Snakehead, Lama starred in Fear of Clowns released by Lions Gate Entertainment in 2005 and Fear of Clowns 2, which he also produced.[4][3] At the same time, Hurwitz edited Swarm and shepherded the film through post-production, working closely with sound designer Kevin Hill and composer Tom Alonso.[6][5]
