This past Tuesday night premiere of Shadow of the Cat, the supernatural mystery-thriller starring Danny Trejo and actor/restauranteur Guillermo Zapata was a Latinowood star-studded premiere of the highly anticipated Indican Pictures film attended by stars from TV, film, and music. It was a night to remember.
The evening began with a red carpet and screening followed by a Q&A at the Laemmle Royal in Los Angeles and continued with an intimate experience at SUR Restaurant and Lounge in West Hollywood where guests enjoyed global food and themed drinks in a lush tropical garden setting.
Shadow of the Cat delves into the story of Gato (Zapata) lives with his teenage daughter Emma (Maite Lanata) and a small group of people, including Sombra (Trejo), on an isolated farm without telephones or internet. But Emma, tempted by curiosity, runs away into town one day to attend a carnival and gets her hands on a mobile phone. After she uploads a video of herself to the internet, Emma is contacted by a mysterious woman named Celia (Mónica Antonópulos) who claims to be her long-lost mother. What follows is a mystical tale of family, identity and broken trust set amidst the turmoil of one girl’s question about her past.
The after-party soiree at SUR Restaurant, where Zapata is one of the owners, was also an opportunity for the filmming of the Bravo TV show Vanderpump Rules which is filmed at SUR. The production team captured the party in full swing, so stay tuned for that episode to air!
