HOWELL – An independent action thriller written and directed by Howell native Kevin Interdonato is headed for a nationwide release this spring after securing a domestic distribution agreement.
Interdonato’s feature film Dirty Hands has been acquired by Saban Films and is scheduled for release across the United States beginning April 24, according to industry sources.
The gritty crime thriller is set against the backdrop of Chicago’s criminal underworld and follows brothers Richie and Danny Denton, whose lives spiral after a drug deal unravels with deadly consequences. As rival gangs close in and tensions rise within their own organization, the brothers are forced into a violent fight for survival over the course of a single night.
The cast includes Patrick Muldoon, Interdonato, Michael Beach, Denise Richards and Guy Nardulli.
Interdonato produced the film through Take No Prisoners Productions alongside Nardulli, who also served as a producer under Safety24 Productions. Action sequences were overseen by fight coordinator Jason Mello, whose previous credits include Fallout. The distribution deal was negotiated by Elisabeth Costa de Beauregard Segel of Storyboard Media.
Dirty Hands marks Interdonato’s second feature as a writer-director-star. His previous crime drama, The Bastard Sons, received a theatrical release in January 2024 through Vertical Entertainment. He has also appeared as a writer and producer on the horror thriller Malicious, directed by John Fallon.
Beyond his work in independent film, Interdonato is known to television audiences for his recurring role on the Showtime crime drama City on a Hill.
Interdonato was born and raised in Howell Township, where he continues to maintain ties to the community while building his career in film.
