Todd Freeman and his brother Jason have been making high-quality films in Portland, OR (also home to Gus Van Zandt and Todd Haynes) for years. They've been on the fore-front of the new "Portland Film" movement with a strong reputation for creating brooding meditations into the human condition punctuated with extreme action sequences.
I wasn't lucky enough to attend the premier screening of Pray For Hell here in Portland, but I'm excited to see the film now that its found a wider release. Todd's films are a perfect example of the "Portland Film" sensibility that's beginning to gain attention throughout the world.
Do yourselves a favor and check Pray For Hell out - you'll be able to say you were watching Portland Films from the beginning, before the movement reached world-wide popularity.
