Berlin resident Dave Lounder, a professional actor, has a key role in a new Synthetic Cinema movie, “Opponent”, now filming in Berlin. Louder, 45, plays a middleage Eagle Scout in this story about an alien who comes in peace but is woefully misunderstood by Earthlings.

Gary Fierro, executive
producer of Fierro Films said “Dave Lounder is one of the most reliable actors I have had working for me… he takes direction well and is
