(PRWEB) May 4, 2008 -- Four students of the Academy of Cinema and Television have been cast in the upcoming major studio horror films The Between and Crypt. The producers and directors Jimmy Flowers (an ACT instructor) and Craig McMahon (director of Machined for Lionsgate) were impressed with the talent at ACT.
