WORCESTER, Mass. – June 3, 2021 – PRLog — Mark Lund, Executive Producer, Writer and Director, is pleased to announce that the Massachusetts premiere of First Signal will take place on June 27, 2021 at The Strand Theatre in Clinton, MA at 2 PM. First Signal was partially filmed in Massachusetts at the Massachusetts Military History Exposition in Orange, MA.

At the time of this announcement First Signal has been an official selection of 27 film festivals, winning 17 including Best Feature, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress. First Signal – when Air Force Space Command receives a signal from an alien satellite in Earth orbit an emergency meeting with the President reveals a government conspiracy – represents the first installment in the First World Universe.

“It’s great to be back at the Strand with my latest film First Signal,” said Lund. “Having partially filmed First Signal in Massachusetts, it’s exciting to present the film to a local audience. From their state-of-the-art projection systems, to their diverse menu, the Strand is an excellent way to experience a movie.”

First Signal is a character driven sci-fi story that marks the beginning of the First World Universe. A universe in which we are not alone in the galaxy. A universe where an alien presence has been on Earth for centuries. A universe where this discovery was revealed during the Apollo missions of the 1960s—a discovery that was covered up—until now. The First World Universe continues with the sequel First Launch.

Strand Theatre owners, Rob Nierintz and Bill Grady are, “Thrilled, once again, to be able to support local film makers, and are delighted to have been selected for the Massachusetts premiere of First Signal.”
