Havre indie horror film released

A horror film shot in Havre this year has been released on the Internet for everyone's viewing pleasure.

Jorge Olivo directed "The Last Departure" mostly on and around the Havre City-County Airport and the Bear Paw Mountains. Olivo said the movie is a horror movie, inspired by his favorite - "The Shining."

The movie is 48 minutes long and stars Alex Williams and Kelli Reynolds as the lead actors. The movie also stars Donald Mayer, Bill Dolph, Lucas Minnick, Jay Pyette, Tracie Dahl and Andi Daniel.

The film depicts Reynolds as the last worker of a remote airport, where work is seasonal. After the last flight takes off, her situation begins to skew.

"When she's alone, that's when the freaky stuff starts happening," Olivo said. "That's when she awakens this evil that comes after her."

Williams said he plays the role of Reynolds' boyfriend in the movie. He said the film's story is based in rural Canadian or Alaskan town.

Reynolds is waiting for him to pick her up so they can drive to their cabin and while she's waiting for him, problems arise.

He added that he had a lot of fun starring in the movie, which is the first one he's ever been in.

Olivo works for Cape Air as a pilot and has a production company called CampusFilms Studios. This was his first film.

"I've always had a passion for filmmaking and photography," Olivo said. "By the time I got to Havre after being assigned to Cape Air, I wanted to do my first film."

He said he was pretty much a one-man crew and getting the film had its difficulties. Between time restraints and the cold weather, work was tough, but it came out great, he said. It took him seven days to film it.

"The actors did an amazing job," he said. "They really helped me out a lot."
