PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil – The feature film BEYOND THE GRAVE (aka PORTO DOS MORTOS), produced by Lockheart Filmes Ltda., has its American premiere set to 25 September at Arizona Underground Film Festival. The world premiere will be in September 9 at Cinefantasy film festival, in São Paulo. Written and directed by Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro (who’s also producing with Isidoro B. Guggiana), BEYOND THE GRAVE follows the unstoppable hunt of the vengeful cop Lockheart (Rafael Tombini) for a supernatural serial killer known as the The Dark Rider.

“BEYOND THE GRAVE is a genre film based on the loneliness of a post-apocalyptic planet”, says director Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro. “Through the creation of this particular world, I tried to convey not only the films that I love, but the fragility of the human being in this time of fear and battle against nature, without of course forgetting to bring some great action and adventure with it!”, believes the Brazilian filmmaker.
