The Lackey is the brain child of Truly Indie helmer Shaun Piccinino and co-writer/producer Steve Pisa. Inspired by the greats such as Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, they both set out to make a gripping, gritty action film akin to those of the late 70's and early 80's.
With the help of Hectic Films heads Rickey Bird and Jason Sanders, and only $7,500 at their disposal, they filmed chase scenes in back alleys, fight scenes in speak easy pubs and blew up motorcycles for good measure!
In this Guy Ritchie-like action flick, JUDE ST. CLERE discovers he has a daughter by his junkie ex-girlfriend. He vows to take care of her after taking one last job. He's quickly entwined smack in the middle of a bloody mob war. Knowing that his chances of making it out alive are slim, he plunges in guns blazing.
The film stars: Shaun Piccinino, Rickey Bird Jr, Orlando McGuire, Vernon G. Wells, Lauren Parkinson Kruze, Guy Grundy, Jeremy Dunn, Larry Parrish, DT Carney & Robin Steffen.
The film went on to play the festival circuit across the united states racking up a total of 14 nominations and 4 wins, including the "Audience Choice" award at the 2012 Socal Film Festival and the "Best Editing In A Feature" award at the 2012 Action On Film Festival.
After it's festival run it landed with Cinema Epoch for domestic distribution. And while it's been for sale on Amazon since it's initial release, this is the first time it's been available streaming on Amazon Prime. Watch it here: The Lackey On Amazon Prime
It's been 4 years since the film was released and it's still going strong! #GoTeam
