Outlaw Bikers in VAMP BIKERS HELLS Kitchen NYC Festival
Eric Spade Rivas with friends in the biker world give authenticity to the biker cast.
Eric Spade Rivas the maverick nuyorican indie film maker tears in teeth first to the Hells Kitchen NYC Festival with Real Outlaw MC Bikers on January 18th 10PM.
In his first foray into the Horror genre he holds a no holds barred comedy/horror that expands into a trilogy. Rivas only teases with part one here at Hells Kitchen NYC Festival which features Dorsey Wright (Cleon), Apache Ramos (orphan #2) and Brian Tyler (Snow) all actors from the cult classic film 1979 cult classic The Warriors . Michael Musto (Village Voice) , Lillo Brancato (Bronx Tale), Ron Jeremy, Noel Ashman (Emperor of NYC Nightlife) , Michael Alig (Club Kid) Screamin' Rachael (Trax Boss) and Ángel Salazar (Scarface ) all tear into roles throughout the trilogy as well.
After winning the Coney Island Film Festival with a remake of the 1979 film the Warriors Rivas learned that Bikers were great to work with. He was then helped with the biker authenticity in part one of the trilogy by real bikers Mark A. Ortiz , Albert Dekota Sanchez, Tito Rafael Martinez and Ronnie Rebel. Oh and Hell yes real bikers playing bikers indeed. Stand out performances from Rivas himself , Manuel Mikey Acevedo as (Cop Starsky), Ronnie Rebel, Annmarie Fasano , Freddy Rosales (Santos) and (First AD) Mark Ortiz (Skullz), Apache Ramos (Detective Snow) and Dorsey Wright as the priest.

There are also many great films in festival as well. Some feature William DeMeo (Back in the Day, Gotti) , Joseph D'Onofrio (Goodfellas) , Lillo Brancato (Sopranos) once again and quite a few film personalities. Jason Chaos a nightlife club promoter also helped late in the trilogy with great music (introduced Wild Street to Rivas) , acting and club locations to permeate the biker feel that part one really needed. James Farley stepped up with wardrobe for meter maids and some acting with buddies he brought Ralph Bracco and John Merolla.
John Hoyt runs the festival and is a major name in the film game. "Almost any film you turn on and pow there he is!. For instance I was watching Carlitos Way the other day and bang! there was John!", Rivas says excitedly.
Rivas is also an actor and just finished a minor role in 3 Days Rising as a Swat team member coming in to gun Peter Greene (Zed Pulp Fiction) directed by Craig Cukrowski with Mickey Rourke, Ice-T, and Peter Greene (who rivas was so impressed with his work on set) in a film Produced by Noel Ashman.
