Gasparilla International Film Festival 2009

First Public Screening! Former university professor James Pettis (VAL KILMER) boasts to the local paper that he has trapped six people and is holding them hostage in a Turkish bath to prove his hypothesis that humans will devolve into chaos under the pressures of global warming.
Tempers flare, fights break out, people begin to die off and Jimmy Pettis refuses to break. Can Jack Mancini crack the case and rescue the surviving guests? Or will the luxury steam room become their tomb? Only Jimmy Pettis knows the answer. And behind that Cheshire cat grin, he has one more trick up his sleeve. Armand Assante, starring as Detective Mancini, will attend the screening and following the film will receive the Gasparilla Career Achievement Award! Buy your tickets now for this first ever screening and award ceremony for Mr. Assante!
