Stella Buio plays TONIGHT at Creative Loafing’s Reel Terror 2012 in Tampa and TOMORROW NIGHT at Buffalo Screams in Buffalo, NY!
We won Best “Jaw Dropping” FX at Reel Terror! Woohoo!
“Look, guys. No matter what a girl does, no matter how she’s dressed, no matter how much she’s had to drink, it’s never, never, never, never, never okay to touch her without her consent. That doesn’t make you a man, it makes you a coward.”
“These two photos…were a couple of my favourites, for their intimacy and for their use of the photobooth, the only place really where photos like this could be both taken and developed safely in the 1950s.”

To all the GIRLS: how media can change your life.
The wonderful Mariah Huehner (@tiredfairy) has come up with an incredible idea. It’s called “MONSTROUS”, and it’s going to focus on “The relationship between girls/women and their bodies through the lens of storytelling in different mediums and genres.”

MONSTROUSProject type: collection/anthologyLooking for: Prose/comics/poems/artGenre: fiction (horror, sci-fi, fantasy, etc), auto-bio, non-fictionFor: Girls/WomenOpen to: contributors of any age and gender, on the general theme of “body image & girls/women”.Purpose: Let girls/women know they are not alone when they struggle with their body and our narrowly defined, “beauty” obsessed culture. Positive overall message, but, the stories themselves can be in any genre and be difficult/upsetting. Focus is on being meaningful explorations of theme.Stories can be about: Any body image related topics, from eating disorders to self-harm to sexual identity. Not limited to these topics, so stories will be evaluated individually.(Photo: Brain Goblins and “ED” = eating disorder, art exercise)
This is AWESOME. And right in line with the Viscera Organization…I must pass this on.
I love October. I love October not just because it’s my birthday month, but because it’s also got Halloween in there and it usually signals a change in the weather. I’m really looking forward to being in a place where the leaves change colours again…
Anyway, this month in particular is rockin’ my socks because several festivals have decided to play my film during their events this month. This weekend, Stella Buio is playing at the Buffalo Screams Horror Film Festival in Buffalo, NY (it’s gong on now so if you live in Buffalo, you should click on the link and check it out!) AND, if you’re in the Tampa / Ybor City area, Stella Buio will be playing at Creative Loafing’s Reel Terror Film Festival!
And next weekend, wow…I’ll be posting more about it closer to the time, but, Stella’s playing the Elgin’ Monster MashUp in Elgin, Illinois and All Things Horror’s ShudderFest in Boston, Massachusetts where it’s been paired with the Soska sister’s American Mary on my actual birthday (October 26 for anyone keeping score) and the next day it’s playing at the Geek Horror Film Festival in Charlotte, NC. :D
Where will I be? I’ll be at Spooky Empire (where, funnily enough, my film was rejected from their festival, Freak Show), hanging out with friends, meeting some new ones, and gettin’ my nerd on!
The New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles, California, will be hosting a special evening with Viscera Film Festival Inspiration Award winner Mary Lambert on October 24 in celebration of the re-launch of her web series The Dark Path Chronicles.
Opening the night will be a screening of The Dark Path Chronicles starting at 7:30 pm with a question and answer session following the screening. After that, at 8:30, there will be a 35 mm screening of her classic film Pet Sematary with members of the cast in attendance!
Tickets can be purchased for $8 (plus tax/service fees) via brownpapertickets.com.
I wish I could be there! Y’all need to go and tell me how it went!!
