Horror Fest Screening Nyc

Damn, damn, damn!!! I've got the same gig on Saturday that I have on Monday!!!

Damn Symmphony and their first ever Halloween concert!!!

DAMN!

Anymore bad news?
 
How are you doing this? Technically, I mean. What are the requirements for the theater? The reason I ask is, there are a couple of bars here in DC and Baltimore that show films that may be up for showing this. I have contacts through my punk band. Let me know.
 
Mark knows more but this is actually at movie theatre.
If the Angelica is the hallmark independent movie theatre in Manhattan
THen the Pioneer Theatre is the hallmark underground movie theatre in Manhattan.

Shows lots of indie stuff and stuff without distrobution.
But long story short - screen, projector, sound systm, etc. all in place.
What you would need is Jarred's permission and then all the physical requirments would be up to you.
 
Basically they asked me to screen my comedy series there in August. And I had screened shorts there in the past. So I've been developing a relationship with them, and when the HorrorFest came up, they had a spot for about 10 of them and were happy to give me that spot to program. That's about it.

With the ongoing corporatization of every square inch of NYC, in a time when CB's is moving to Vegas, and Coney Island is about to be paved over for a cineplex and a Gap, The Pioneer truely is a great venue, as they do show stuff you will never see anywhere else, not even in NYC.

Anthology Film Archives is another. They are actually owned by Angelika, and I've screened there before too. But they also screen stuff you won't find anywhere else.
 
JDS Thanks for the link. I guess I can find out how these bars are showing the films. Probably likely they are just running them from DVD not like the Pioneer.

I know sad, I played there three times - people viewed that place as a hole but it was a dream come true for me.
 
I even have a joke about "the throne" in one of my comedy shorts.

It's not even so much depressing as just the most bizarre thing I've ever heard. I mean, WTF???

Oh well. And yeah, I ran it by Jarred and he thought it was a fun idea for the filmmakers to get some screentime. So I proceeded to brand it as a DVXUser event pretty much.
 
remind me Desperate we are sending stuff to slamdance as well so i got 134 shorts mailing everywhere.

no its inthe stream of grammar like "It puts the lotion on its skin, or it gets the hose again".
 
CBGB's... in vegas. TSk TSk TSk..... im moving to Idaho. At least theres not peple form idaho left there.
 
I'll definitly be there- can't wait to see these films on a bigger screen and meet the filmmakers.
 
Joe and Nikki are officially coming. And there's nothing I can do to prevent Joe from peeing when he meets Ted. Sorry.

Mark - Joe dropped the DV tape in the mail today. Let us know if you don't get it, or if there's otherwise any problem.

It's going to be a tremendous mindf:)ck to meet you all in the flesh. It kind of scares me...
 
Well, if Joe is really going to pee his pants when he sees me, how can I not show up???

Aaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!

Must...... decide...... if...... 5...... hour...... drive......... is...... worth....... it...........

I will do what I can to be there! For sure! Just to meet you evil ones! :evil:
 
Yes. We are all very much evil. Especially Hairy Stuff and Scary Stuff. But not so much so with Fairy Stuff.
 
Updated the first post with a trailer I want to send out tomorrow in sort of an e-press release. I want to hit my large mail list, of course, but also some industry to come see everyone's work. Please check out the trailer and make suggestions. I don't know much about making trailers, and mainly copied this from another horror trailer I saw.

My hope is that those who might be on the fence from the poster, would see the trailer and say: "oh yeah, I'll check this out!"

I may add that in the morning. Something like:

"In a world gone mad...one man stands alone...with his HVX...Bastid" :)
