    WOODLAND HILLS, CA, February 08, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "TARGET PRACTICE," directed by Hollywood vet Richmond Riedel, is a nerve-wracking, relentless thriller concerning 5 friends on a weekend fishing trip who discover a hidden training camp for homegrown terrorists - molded after recent real-life discoveries in both the U.S. and Canada - and has already been picked up for distribution by Big Screen Entertainment Group and Warner Bros/WEA (Warner Elektra).

Theatergoers in Macon GA will get an early chance to view the film when it screens in the Macon Film Festival on Friday February 19 in the Douglass Theater on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.

The film has also been getting terrific reviews in the press. The trade Variety (the film industry Bible in Hollywood) wrote "...politics give way to pure, unadulterated action in Richmond Riedel's impressively mounted 'Target Practice'... a relentless pace and astute storytelling ... Pic never lets up ... certain twists are quite brilliantly pulled off ... extremely tense and executed with great energy ..."
