‘Carnage Park’ and ‘Darling’ Director Mickey Keating Wraps Production on Crime Movie ‘Crooks,’ Shares First Look (Exclusive)

Indie genre director Mickey Keating, who broke out with films such as 2015’s “Darling” and 2016’s “Carnage Park,” has wrapped shooting on his latest movie, the crime drama “Crooks.”
The film stars Keith Kupferer (“Ghostlight”), Angela Trimbur (“Quiz Lady”), Chase Williamson (“John Dies At the End”) and Melora Walters (“Magnolia”).
Per the logline, “Two small-time crooks rob a mob-run poker game in Chicago. Things immediately go wrong, resulting in a high-stakes adventure through the Midwest.”

I think anyone familiar with my work will see this as a natural progression from my previous films.”
