TRIPPIN’ Wins Best Horror Comedy!

best horror comedy trippinA small, but heavy box arrived yesterday.  It came from Wisconsin (gee, that’d be a good movie title!).  I love surprises, but for some reason I had a strange feeling about this one.  A bomb?  A body part?  A murderous Jack-in-the-Box?  I opened it with anticipation.  Inside the cardboard box was another box — this one upholstered in cloth with a drawer that slid out.  Inside that, a trophy!  Apparently, TRIPPIN’ won Best Horror Comedy at the Whitewater Film Fest this past fall.  Congrats, Team!  Congrats also to buddy Elias Matar whose brilliant film ASHES won best feature!   Yay!  What a nice way to end our fest run.  Thanks, Wisconsin!

trippin-stillThanks to Rabid Dog Press and Wicked Channel for their enthusiastic reviews of TRIPPIN’ and the compilation DVD (coming out soon!).  My Sundance report will have to wait until next week as I’m steeped in  production, writing deadlines AND finals for my last semester at the Academy for a spell (sad, but necessary with all the projects and upcoming travels, alas.  Professor Snively will return before too long, I hope.)  Suffice to say for now, the Sundance adventure was a fairy tale trip with some fun reality thrown in to keep the momentum going.   More soon…or later.  It’s hard to tell these days.  Thanks for your patience!
