Hamburg native Adam Steigert will be giving a presentation to the Angola Village Board on Monday (March 8) night in hope to receive a film permit that could shut down the main drag of the village for a film he is working on. 


"This is going to be bigger than any other production we've ever done," said Steigert in a brief interview on Wednesday afternoon.


He is currently working on a film called, "The Final Day and Night."


During last year's Hamburg Film Festival Steigert gave a sneak peek of his film, "Bitez" to high school and college students. The film premiered on October 9, 2009 at The Palace Theatre.


He also started his own production company, "Deftone Picture Studios." His film "Bitez" also received recognition from Lions Gate film company.
