Described as “a visceral journey into the depths of despair & moral ambiguity,” the official teaser trailer for director Peter Anthony’s Laugh has been unleashed this afternoon.
From Peter Anthony Productions, Real Fiction Studios, Stl Productions and Newton to Newton Productions, Laugh is planning to release in early 2025. Watch the teaser below.
The team previews, “Laugh follows Peter Collymore, a former Afghanistan war hero turned star actor. We see front and center Peter’s struggles with his Ptsd, his silenced skeletons tucked far away in his closet. All the while dealing with the loss of his son, a divorce, his unjust rival actor, his drug addicted father and last but not least, a demonic entity named “Calypso” who wants nothing more than to have Peter’s soul.”
Written and directed by Peter Anthony (fan film Friday the 13th: Rose Blood), the film stars Terry Kiser, Peter Anthony, Jon A Ravenholt,...

A former It staffer told the Beast that he remembers Anthony “talking about other women’s boobs, butts… how he would desire sexual activities with and stuff like that…...

Read More: Kevin Costner's 7 Best Performances Peter Anthony's fiction-documentary hybrid features the untold story of "true, real-life hero" Peter Stanislav, whose life-altering decision proved to have implications that stretched across the world. According to the official synopsis, "On September 26th, 1983, an alarm sounded to indicate that five American nuclear missiles had been launched against the Soviet Union. Russian Lt. Colonel Stanislav Petrov defied military protocol, ignoring the incoming attack and declaring it a false alarm. His decision spared the world a nuclear holocaust. Decades later, this forgotten hero travels to the United States to accept an award from the United Nations and finally receives acknowledgement for his historical act. 'The Man Who Saved the World' melds together non-fiction and narrative filmmaking depicting the actual events that took place more than thirty years ago. Featuring Kevin Costner with appearances by...

★★★☆☆ Peter Anthony's The Man Who Saved the World (2014) is an odd duck much like its protagonist, the steely curmudgeon Stanislav Petrov. Part documentary, part docudrama, this film probes the post-Cold War consciousness of one who operated at the source. Petrov is a man who, for a few moments, held the threat of nuclear war in his hands and decided to act against it. Documenting the contemporary fallout of such a decision brings forth issues of national identity and personal repercussions. However, The Man Who Saved the World's oddly conflicting styles creates a strange uncertainty - making it hard to gauge precisely whether the narration is reliable, despite the fact that these are true events.

Meet the crotchety, bitter old man who, back in 1983 as a crotchety, bitter younger man, refused to initiate global nuclear war. A true story! I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
If you’re alive and not spending your days wandering a blasted radioactive afterscape in search of food — and I’m pretty sure we’re all doing that this weekend only for fun with Mad Max — then you have former Soviet Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov to thank. No, I had never heard of him, either, which is a disgrace that The Man Who Saved the World attempts to remedy.
On September 26, 1983, Petrov was on duty at a Soviet military installation outside Moscow that watched the skies for incoming American nuclear missiles when alarms started blaring. They were false alarms, of course, but Petrov didn’t know that,...

On September 26th 1983, at the height of the Cold War, a false alarm at the Soviet nuclear early warning centre Serpukhov-15 almost brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Five America nuclear missiles were mistakenly reported to be headed towards the Soviet Union, and Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov saved the world from annihilation by going against protocol and not retaliating, following his gut feeling that this was all a mistake. Three decades later, Petrov’s contribution to the continued survival of the human race has been pretty much lost to the ages. Until now. Mixing together re-enactments with fly on the wall documentary footage of Petrov in present day, Peter Anthony’s The Man Who Saved The World sheds light on Petrov’s life years after his historic decision, following him as he travels to America to finally receive acknowledgement from the world at large. The style at play here is quite unique,...

Whilst wading through Cph:dox’s mammoth non-fiction programme, I was oddly reminded of a line from one of the those well-thumbed works on documentary film you’re forced to read in college. In his Introduction to Documentary, one of Bill Nichols’ many attempts to define the slippery term is to say that, “Documentaries are what the organisations and institutions that produce them make.” Quite apart from Cph:dox’s own increasingly active role as a producer, it seems at once entirely appropriate and entirely banal to bring this perfectly circular adage to bear on a festival that carries the D-word in its very name: if a film showing at a documentary film festival is by definition a documentary film, how does it behave as such? Yet all banality aside, using the concept of the “documentary” in the capacity of a self-evident reading aid offers as good a way as any of...
