Black Ave Films will premiere their short film SWINE AND DINE at Kevin Smith’s famous Smodcastle Cinemas on July 27, 2025.
The film is written and directed by Ronald Black and Christopher Avellino with the lead cast Mark Haynes; Michelle Santiago; and Kelsey Rhea. Other cast includes Andrew Pierson, Lauren Alenia, Rudy Ledbetter, and others.
Swine and Dine is a dark, suspenseful short film that delves into the chilling world of industrial farming. When a ruthless female manager becomes the target of a mysterious force, she is forced to confront the consequences of her actions and the suffering she has caused.
“We wanted to create something different that had a unique tone without foregoing the appeal of horror.” – Director’s Quote.
“In Swine and Dine, I play a vlogger trying to warn people to stay the hell away from Freedom Ranch—but like any good horror story, no one listens. It’s an honor to see it picking up festival awards. I’m proud to be part of a film that reminds people horror can still be smart, nasty, and deeply unsettling.”
— Andrew Pierson
