Neon Tommy reporters Ryan Nunez and Roselle Chen covered the “Grey Skies” premiere at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood Tuesday night.

Ryan Nunez spoke with the director, writer and actors of the sci-fi/horror flick and surmised that every aspiring actor and filmmaker should go see "Grey Skies."

Guaranteed, by the end of the film, you will believe in your heart of hearts that, “If they can get funding and make this film happen, I could get funding for my bright idea and make it happen.”

Check out Kai Blackwood's interview; "Grey Skies" director:

Let’s establish what "Grey Skies" is not. It is not a blockbuster, summer release from a major studio. It is not a movie with a director, producer or actors that anyone would know by name, with the possible exception of film and television veteran (and USC alum) Michael Cornacchia.

Check out Michael Cornacchia's interview; "Grey Skies" producer and actor:

First and foremost, it is not a movie that any film critic would recommend audiences go see. That said, focusing on what "Grey Skies" is, is a lot more fun than focusing on its shortcomings.

"Grey Skies" is a lesson in can-do attitude. USC alums Cornacchia, who produces and stars, writer Mark Reilly and actress (and Reilly’s wife) Stacy Jorgensen team up to make their very own horror film and very own dream come true.

Check out Mark Reilly's interview; "Grey Skies" writer:

In addition to her starring turn, Jorgensen is the self-admitted “pit-bull” behind the financing of the film. Recognizing that her husband and Cornacchia are the artists behind the curtain, she took on the challenge of wrestling up the funds to make this film a reality. Her relentless efforts culminated with a premiere at the world famous Arclight Theater in Hollywood Tuesday night, with many of her friends and family in tow, to share in the special event.

Check out Stacy Jorgensen's interview; "Grey Skies" lead actress:

Rounding out the cast are actors that seemingly have the talent to make something of themselves in Hollywood.

Check out Jeff Lorch's interview; "Grey Skies" actor:

Anne Griffin has a tremendous scream and a natural fear in her eyes that spreads like wildfire to the audiences.

Sharing co-star billing with Jorgensen is the capable Aaron MacPherson, who has the face and charming personality to earn roles in this town.

And also possessing the assets to get work and possibly get ahead in this town is the stunningly gorgeous Shelley Dennis. Providing the eye candy for "Grey Skies" was her charge, but something in those smoldering eyes (and those amazingly, luscious lips) says that she has the talent and the drive to be a force in this town tomorrow, no questions asked.

Check out Shelley Dennis's interview; "Grey Skies" actress:

"Grey Skies" proves that with a story, one stunning beauty, one talented semi-known entity (Cornacchia) and one pit-bull fundraiser, a group of friends can take this Tinseltown, or at least the Arclight on a Tuesday, by storm.
