Pain in the ass
Hey all,

I am going to be screening the top 10 horror fest films at an indie movie theater in NYC at the end of Oct.

Watch a trailer: HERE

I chose a bunch of our money-shots for the poster, in the hopes of really grabbing people. This poster will go up at the theater and around the E. Village, so we want it to shout out and really nail people.

Thanks to Jack for kicking out a really bad-assed poster design.


OCT 29TH 9PM
TWO BOOTS PIONEER THEATER
Ave A and E 3rd St.
Details: http://www.twoboots.com/pioneer/


The program is called:

DON'T GO BACK IN THE HOUSE, *****!- A collection of 6 minute horror shorts from the DVXUSER.com horror fest 2006.

I am taking the top ten because I only have about enough time for ten. I was originally going to choose shorts I liked, but it didn't really seem fair. So I went with this.

I know most of you are not in NYC and would not be here for it, but even still I thought it would be a nice little treat. I will be promoting it in NYC and trying to get people in to see your work. If you know people in NYC, please send them to the link above for details on the screening.

So the program will contain:


Rekindled
Bloody Mary
Halfway
Meat
The Seeing
Stricken
Dear Jane
Lakeside
Reunion
Welcome


WHAT I NEED FROM YOU

I have contacted some of you through PM, but here are the details for all:

Please send me a MiniDV runoff of your film ASAP. I talked to Edgen about an MPG and he put one up for me, but the rest, please send in MiniDV tapes with the highest quality runoff.

I will PM you all the address to mail to.

Please PM me your real name so that I can send it to the theater to update their website with film and filmmaker names.

Please let me know if you do NOT want to be shown.

Great idea and I'll send an email to my friends about the event. I hope they'll enjoy the show!

This looks like a lot of fun.

Joe and I are toying with the idea of coming to the screening...

Plane tickets are cheap, but does anyone know of a cheap hotel or hostel nearby? Or want to put us up in exchange for liquor?
 
Rats! Missed it by a couple of notches.

Although, you really should take "REM", because technically, "Stricken" was a non-comp film. That would make "REM" #10.

(And mine, #11. That even makes me feel worse.) :undecided

LMFAO MARK!!!

I was saying that SAME thing last night watching WOLF CREEK.

"Don't go back in there, *****! SHOOT HIM!"

Let me give this a little thought. We usually start promoting these things WAY before now, but not knowing what the program would be...So I hope we can get a crowd big enough to make it worth your while.

However, the after-party should be very very good times.
 
I've got a few friends in NYC that are going to make it out. Plus, our producer of Lakeside has a group of friends that will most likely make it out as well. So.. maybe 5-6 on my end?

good luck!

Sweet. I am working a connection I have to a studio here, hoping to get at least a couple of low level execs to come. No promises with those people, but I'll be working it.

You are welcom to our futon ... if you are Ok with a beagle, a fat mean cat and / or a skinny mean cat as potential snuggle buddies. They usually all sleep with us, but you never know. Futon is available to whomever calls dibs first.

Great idea Mark, thanks for putting it together:beer:
 
Yeah, and one or both of you could certainly crash at my place. It's big, but there is the same situation with dog+cat=INSANITY!!!! But you could crash out here as well. It's a big place with a futon all your own.

I can put you guys up. My apartment is animal free. And since I owe you guys for helping with the sound design, dinner and the first round is on me.

Awesome!!!! Maybe they will say..."Who is is that guy who did "Stricken"??" The you can say...."The Uber talented Matt Sconce....Here is his contact info..."


:cheesy: hehehe
 
More than likely they will say: "What dumb-assed screening you want us to go to? Take a hike and stop bugging us!" :):)
 
Jack, Mark, Alex - We may just take you up on the offer of a place to crash. We're thinking of coming in on either Saturday or early Sunday, and staying for a couple few nights. Joe's never been, so it would be fun to do some sightseeing. You know, waving to Al Roker outside the Today Show. Or not...

So who wants us the most? And what kind of liquor do you like?

Animals or no animals, we're happy either way.
 
Cheap Digs in NYC

Cheap Digs in NYC

For anyone who was thinking of traveling to NYC for the screening, there are two inexpensive hostels on the upper Upper West Side, near Columbia University. They are Euro-style, offering a few rooms with private baths but most with a shared bath, and are not bad overall, especially for the price (usually under $100/night with a shared bath). I've had friends stay in them, and no complaints, and they seem to draw a lot of hip young European travelers who hang out on the stoop in the evenings (a great NYC tradition).

Congrats to the Top 10!

Excellent job of curating, Mark!
 
Jack did a poster from some images I chose. Added to the first post and going to printer now, to put up at theater and around town. Getting 10 posters printed at first.
