So I’m off to the BendFilm Fest in Oregon at 4am. Fun times. Death’s actually screening at fests in Memphis and New Orleans this weekend as well, both of which I’d chew off my left foot to attend only I don’t see how that would really help. Besides, Bend has offered to put me up for free and it’s supposed to be a really great fest. Plus, I’ve never been there, so I suppose it’s only right to try someplace new.

So yesterday I picked up our fresh batch of trippin’ DVDs from Copyright Video. En route I was stopped at a red light jammin’ to Billy Bragg’s “New England“ when a darling boy donning a fabulous hat in the next car over calls out, “Love that song! Love your hat!” I complimented his hat as well and asked him if he likes horror films. Turns out he loves those, too. Before the light turned green, I jumped out and handed him a trippin’ postcard.

It’s hard to make an entertaining film. Kudos to the programmers at Shriekfest, though. Read the rest of this entry »

Okay – that pisses me off. I have purposefully refrained from putting trippin’ up on IMDB because I didn’t want to date us – some sage advice given to me by a distributor I met a a fest.

Shriekfest!

I’ve been coming to Shriekfest for years. Run by Denise Gossett, who is very possibly the sweetest woman to ever roam the earth, this has long been one of my fave fests.
Though once again, it’s Death in Charge that’s playing this one, we’re spending more time promoting trippin’ and off to a great start. Read the rest of this entry »
