barbie-portrait_1I had the great pleasure of meeting Barbie Wilde in Munster, Germany at the Weekend of Horrors event several years ago.  I was there to screen a few films, she was there to greet her fans.  She and I were the only females staying at this hotel along with an overwhelming plethora of male horror icons and I was grateful for the ally amid all the testosterone.  Read the rest of this entry »

So does spending $175 to in all likelihood be rejected by both Sundance and Slamdance count as a rite of passage?

Let’s hope, because today our talented propsmith Hardy Canard and I delivered trippin’ to these much coveted fests.  You can’t win if you don’t play, right?slammin'sunnin'

Wish us a miracle or two.  We’re gonna need them…

After this momentous occasion we partook of celebratory ice cream at Scoops (the most awesome ice cream shop where you can invent your own flavors.)  I had lavender honey, Hardy had a vegan mocha cone.

Congratulations, My Fellow Deviants – It’s a Movie!

…where Death in Charge just screened.

Too fun!  What a funky town.  Kenny and I road-tripped up.  Altitude and alcohol are a fun combo.  Our screening was well attended, the parties were great, we met some cool folks and ran into a bunch of old fest friends.  But in all honesty I think I had the most fun playing hooky.  Kenny and I kept a nice buzz going from about 11am on all three days and got deep into brainstorming ideas for my latest script.Kenny's Big Bear

We checked out the coolest outdoor antique shop and got a can in which to place our movie which I’m due to pick up on Monday.A Can for our film We also got a board game from which we will steam off the current cover, so we can use it to build the proto-type for our trippin’ board game.  Yes, there will be a trippin’ board game.  How could there not be?
