Blue Seraph Productions announced the casting of Blaise Embry and Eduardo Rioseco for director J.T. Tepnapa’s follow up film to the
indie hit Judas Kiss, the mystery-thriller, The Dark Place. Embry and Rioseco
join already announced actors Sean Paul Lockhart and Timo Descamps (both in
Judas Kiss) as well as Going Down in LA LA Land’s Allison Lane.
Embry will play Keegan Dark, a troubled young man who
returns home to reconcile with his estranged mother, who has been running the
family winery estate all by herself. But all does not go as planned and Keegan
and his boyfriend (Descamps) are soon caught up in a web of deceit and violence
as his return unleashes a vast conspiracy that could see him as the prime
suspect in a murder plot and the destruction of everything he holds dear.
Embry is perhaps best known for his recurring role in Season
7 of Showtime’s hit series Weeds, along with guest appearances on The Office,
Hawaii Five-O, CSI: New York, Pair of Kings and The Suite Life on Deck. 
Meanwhile, Rioseco will play co-star, playing long-time
friend of Keegan, lawyer Ernie Reyes -who is also has worked closely for
Dark Wineries for years. Both share an intimate past with each other and Keegan’s
return sparks a passionate remembrance for both of them.
Rioseco credits include a guest appearance on The Cape as
well as a recurring role on the NBC series Parenthood. He is also an accomplished
stage actor, with roles in Fame, Mamma Mia, Wicked and Next To Normal.
The script is by award-winning writer Jody Wheeler, who
produced Tepnapa’s Judas Kiss along with writer/producer Carlos Pedraza (who
has shifted into producer role on The Dark Place, as well as finishing up the
script for Blue Seraph’s other film this year, the adaptation of Jay Bell’s
young adult novel Something Like Summer). Filming is scheduled to begin in the
middle of April near Portland, OR.

they need to film both The Dark Place and Something Like Summer.
