So on the heals of my Horror short, "(spek.ter)" playing at the SHOCKERFEST in Modesto, California (see my previous blog), it will now play SHOCKFEST, a brand new festival that's making its debut in the City of (Death) Angels, aka Los Angeles on October 31st (Halloween) & November 1st (Dia De Los Muertos)!!! I will update this blog once I find out exactly what day my short will play.

Their mission statement reads:
"Los Angeles is a town that has seen it all. Hollywood has seen more than that. To get recognition in the movie capital of the world, you need to do more than just be different. You need to be SHOCKING. Get attention, push boundaries, cause a controversy, disturb someone, wake the audience up. No matter how you say it, if your film does it, The Shock Film Festival wants to display your masterpiece of mental mayhem on Hollywood Blvd."

From the looks of things, it appears that my short and all of the other selections will be getting the literal "grindhouse" treatment, as the flicks will be showing at the run down and now officially closed (but open for rental use) VINE THEATER on Hollywood Blvd.



(I gotta admit - I'm curious as to what kind of flick "Pornography of the Bicycle" is)

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Sage Stallone & Bob Murawski (of GRINDHOUSE RELEASING) showcased their then new print of Umberto Lenzi's at times campy & notoriously graphic cannibal horror flick MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY (aka CANNIBAL FEROX) at this theater back in the mid 90's - "bringing a bit of the (old) Time Square to Hollywood Blvd." to sort of paraphrase Bob (on the Laserdisc/DVD bonus extras)!

I'm told SHOCKFEST will also have burlesque dancers and bands playing as well!!!
