A Revolution at WorldFest-Houston

March 25, 2013 Thom Stark
One of the films I made last summer, Revolution, has been selected to screen (twice) at the 46th Annual WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival. This marks the second year in a row Jim Stark's glorious visage will grace the screens of Houston's AMC Studio 30. Click here to see Revolution's entry on the WorldFest-Houston website.

What Others Are Saying:

Jim Stark’s performance is honest and heart-breaking. Thom Stark’s artistic direction is wonderful and visionary. . . Stark has created something that will help people better understand themselves. — Chuck O’Connor, Playwright


Incredibly powerful. . . [Stark has] created a Sartre-esque hell. . . A journey paradoxically both static and in motion. — John Douglas Sinclair, Writer/Director/Producer




Synopsis: Seth Ward comes home for dinner only to find his house empty and his family inexplicably absent. As he awaits their return, he grows hungrier and hungrier.

Tagline: Blessed are those who hunger.
