The name Alston Koch certainly rings a bell, in our part of the world, and overseas, as well.
I don’t need to go into detail to describe Alston, except to say that he made his mark, in the music scene, with his international hit ‘Disco Lady,’ and later as an actor of repute in the movie ‘According to Mathew.’
Well, according to Alston, his son, Frederick James Koch, is also on the road to fame…but not as a singer!
James is in the limelight as an actor, and will be seen in the movie ‘Nightwalk,’ scheduled for Hollywood worldwide release and premiere, in Hollywood, next month (June 15).
James, who now resides in the States, with his mum and famous dad, stars with Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominees, Eric Roberts and Mickey Rourke, in ‘Nightwalk.’
In this modern-day Romeo and Juliet-type movie, star-crossed lovers are torn apart by cultural tensions between the East and the West.
Sarah takes her American boyfriend, Frank, to her home country, in the Arab world.
After an incident, during a night stroll, Frank is imprisoned by corrupt police for Sarah’s murder. His quest for justice turns into a spiritual journey, led by Muslim inmates – from the moderate convert to terror-linked fundamentalists.
Frederick James Koch plays the compelling part of an investigative journalist, who is also the best friend of Frank, played by Sean Stone, son of Oliver Stone, multi-Academy Award winner for ‘Scarface,’ (with Al Pacino), ‘JFK and Wall Street,’ ‘Platoon.’ ‘Born on the 4th Of July, etc., amongst 32 other films directed by him (Oliver Stone).
Hunted and pursued, with a price on his head, Frederick James Koch is finally killed when he is forced off a cliff, in his vehicle, leaving Frank to take on his accusers alone, while in jail.
‘Nightwalk,’ directed by Aziz Tazi, was shot on the streets of Hollywood, Bel Air and Beverly Hills, with some exotic scenes filmed on location in Casablanca, and Marrakech and Rabat, in Morocco.
The official released trailer is currently on YouTube and other social media platforms.
‘Nightwalk’ will be distributed world-wide – in Theatres and in Digital format, and will also be available on DVD.
