What fun! Dorothy Parker had her vicious circle and I was invited to participate in Fearnet’s very own version – all about horror. It’s a new Fearnet show produced by Rhianne Bergado who kindly invited me to participate in an episode with Shriekfest ‘s wonderful founder Denise Gossett, clever Fearnet writer Joe McCabe and 2001 Maniac’s provocative writer/director Tim Sullivan.

Okay, I just love the alliteration in a Killingboxx review as sampled above. Kudos, Guys, and thanks for their fabulous new review found HERE. They also kindly highlighted Death in Charge in their feature on the Oklahoma Horror Film Festival to which we’re headed this weekend. Reports on our Tulsa adventures to come. Meanwhile, in other news… Read the rest of this entry »
trippin’ in the U.K.!

Congrats, Team! trippin’ is to screen in a most wonderful place. The very Lovecraftesque small British fishing town of Whitby where the fabulous Bram Stoker Fest happens! 
I am very pleased about this one as I went last year and had a blast. The festival is well run with great projection, a beautiful venue, super cool people, an outrageous opening night party with eye candy galore, and a wonderful mix of very eclectic horror films ranging from innovative micro-budgets to slick Asian horror films not yet released in the U.S. (like The Fox Family – keep an eye out for it). We even participated in the first Vampire Walk up to the famous old Abbey which was the true inspiration for 
Dracula’s castle (okay, so it was during the day, but fortunately nobody sparkled.) It’s truly like entering a dark fairy tale. Oh, and the fish and chips – wow! Anyway, looks like several of the team will be heading over so join us those who can. For an account of last year’s adventures, you can find them beginning HERE. 
Congrats, Team and thanks, wonderful folks at the Bram Stoker Fest – you rock and we can’t wait to come back for more!

…for the latest Deviant news that’s fit for print. I had the great pleasure of being interviewed by Denise Gossett, the endlessly fabulous founder of the Shriekfest Film Festival, last month which has just been reprinted on the HELLNOTES website. Meanwhile, Death in Charge just got into festival #94(!). We’ll be screening at the Eugene International Film Festival in October about which I hear great things. Hopefully we’ll get to find out firsthand. Also, Death’s up for 6 new nominations Read the rest of this entry »
Our Sundance Rite of Passage At Last!
Posted in Diary of a Directrix, NewsAugust 17th, 2010 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
I have attended Sundance 4 times now. The first time I had a winning screenplay at Slamdance. The second and third time I had films screening at Tromadance, and the last time I was there simply for the love of the festival-going experience. Acceptance from Sundance itself, however, had as of yet, eluded me. Many told me there was no point to even bother submitting, that the competition was too fierce and one had to have some connection in order to even be considered.
Interestingly, I had been told the same thing about AFI’s Directing Workshop for Women. Needless to say, I’m glad I didn’t listen. Read the rest of this entry »
