Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame Will Host Screening of THE RUSE
Stevan Mena’s thriller will screen September 27 as part of the Local Filmmakers Series.
The Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame (LIMEHOF) will host a screening of The Ruse, directed by Long Island filmmaker Stevan Mena, on Saturday, September 27 at 1 p.m. The screening will take place at LIMEHOF’s museum, located at 97 Main Street, Stony Brook, NY, as part of its Monthly Local Filmmakers Series spotlighting regional directors and their work.
“It’s a real privilege to have The Ruse screened at the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame,” said Mena. “This film means a lot to me, and it’s rewarding to be able to screen it for an audience in such a respected space. I’m proud to share the work with my home community and grateful for the opportunity.”
Following the screening, Mena will participate in a Q&A session.

When the in-home caregiver for an elderly patient mysteriously vanishes, Dale (Madelyn Dundon) is sent as the replacement nurse to a remote seaside home. She finds herself battling an unruly patient, suspicious neighbors, and terrifying supernatural occurrences.
