Los Angeles, CA
LONDON
MAY, known for his role as drummer/bass player in the legendary Samhain - Glenn
Danzig's post-Misfits and pre-Danzig death-rock infused horror punk
band - has been cast in a different kind of role - this time as a Detective.
Briefly stepping away from the drum kit and guitars, the musician and actor,
trained in both improv and theater, recently made his Los Angeles stage
debut in ‘The Duchess of Malfi’, and has now signed on to short slasher
flick MASSACRE, a bloody, independent horror film directed by Joe
Hendrick (Ditch Day Massacre, Skitta Merink) and produced by Michel
Rangel (Smiley, Instructions Not Included).
Director Joe
Hendrick on casting May as the Detective:
"London
May was in character the moment we shook hands for the first time in the
parking lot - it was clear he had done his homework. With every question of
detail, every question regarding character quirks, London May either
gave me the answer I had been looking to hear or an answer that showed me this
guy is going to bring more to the table than what I can with this character...
When I hire an actor I want to hire someone that I can collaborate with - someone
that I can trust - and London May is an actor who I immediately knew
I could trust to become this character."
MASSACRE centers
around Marianne James, played by New Zealand actress, writer and
Suicide Girl,Pandie Suicide (Ditch Day Massacre, David Lynch’s “Crazy
Clown Time”), a young woman who wakes up at the site of a grisly mass murder
and can’t remember what happened. This unique film, which is currently prepping
to go into production this July via Minonina Films, features both a female
writer, as well as a female producer and will see the lead female role taking a
slight departure from a more traditional female horror role.
