NEW YORK, NY (August 19, 2014) – Fox Trail Productions announces the release of the music video “How Does It Feel?” by NYC rockers Purple Pam & The Flesh Eaters. Inspired by the disturbing assembled footage film “Infliction”, which documents two brothers’ 2011 murder spree in North Carolina, “How Does It Feel?” is a gritty display of clips from the controversial film and the performance of Purple Pam & The Flesh Eaters. Produced and directed by Jack Thomas Smith, who is the award-winning filmmaker of “Infliction”, “How Does It Feel” also appears on the “Infliction” DVD, which is now available in the U.S. and Canada by Virgil Films & Entertainment.
“Working on ‘Infliction’ left me troubled and haunted,” says Jack Thomas Smith, whose last feature film “Disorder” was released by Universal/Vivendi and Warner Brothers. “It left me thinking about people’s actions or lack thereof and the inevitable domino effect. We all walk our own path in life, which shapes and defines us. What happens to us today, good or bad, will affect generations tocome. The song and video for ‘How Does It Feel?’ reflects this as well.”
“Infliction” is available at FYE stores, Walmart.com, iTunes, Amazon, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, CD Universe, Family Video, Google Play, Vudu, Cinema Now, Vimeo OnDemand, Netflix queue, and other online retailers.
Earlier this year, “Infliction” opened in select theaters across the country. Additional screenings have been scheduled this summer and fall due to demand at the Horror Realm Convention in Pittsburgh, PA; the Horror Happens Film Festival in Washington, NJ; NYC; PA Fantom Fest in Scranton, PA; the Chiller Theatre Expo in Parsippany, NJ; and Days of the Dead in Chicago, IL.

About Jack Thomas Smith:
Jack Thomas Smith made his feature film-directing debut with the psychological thriller “Disorder.” He was also the writer and producer of that film. “Disorder” was released on DVD by Universal/Vivendi and New Light Entertainment. It was released on Pay-Per-View and Video-On-Demand by Warner Brothers. Overseas, it screened at the Cannes Film Festival and the Raindance Film Festival in London. Curb Entertainment represented “Disorder” for foreign sales and secured distribution deals around the world.
Born in 1969 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Smith lived there until he was eight when his family relocated to a quiet island community in Michigan, which would later serve as the inspiration for his upcoming film “In the Dark.” He began to write at a very young age after reading the Stephen King novels “Salem’s Lot” and “The Shining.” By the time he was eleven, he had written a 300-page novel and a number of short stories.
Smith’s family moved to Sparta, New Jersey when he was a teenager. It was there in that middle-class town that he discovered the films of George A. Romero, Stanley Kubrick, Brian DePalma, and John Carpenter. Inspired to make movies, he wrote and directed a handful of short films that were shot on Super 8mm and starred his brother and friends in all of the roles.
As a young adult, Smith produced films for noted horror directors Ted Bohus and John Russo, co-creator of “Night of the Living Dead.” From that point on, it was only a matter of time for his growth as a filmmaker to expand.
Smith’s current project he calls “Infliction” is a dark and disturbing assembled footage film that documents two brothers’ 2011 murder spree in NC and the horrific truth behind their actions.
Smith’s production company, Fox Trail Productions, Inc., is currently developing the action/horror film “In the Dark”, the drama “Illegals”, and the comedy “Ties that Bind.”
