We here at the Viscera Organization hope that you all have had a wonderful holiday and are preparing to ring in the new year in style!
The Viscera Organization, as the name implies, is made up of several different systems all working together to achieve equality for women and men in genre filmmaking. You can find the Organization on Facebook and on Twitter.
Our flagship event, the Viscera Film Festival for female horror filmmakers, is heading into its fourth carpet ceremony in 2013 (the event started as a touring festival in 2007 and had its first carpet ceremony in 2010). We’re back at the American Cinematheque’s beautiful Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles, California, on July 13, 2013. We’re accepting submissions through the end of February so read the rules and send us your short films!
Find the Viscera Film Festival on Facebook • Tumblr • Twitter.
In September of this year, we launched the Etheria Film Festival, an event dedicated for female science fiction and fantasy filmmakers, with sold out screenings in Boston, Massachusetts, and those same films have headed out on tour. Etheria recently opened for submissions so if you meet the requirements and have a film, send it in!!

Women in Horror Month is also one of our services. WiHM is held every February to recognize the hard work of the underrepresented female genre artist by giving back to the world at large through philanthropic events, screenings, and educational discourse on women in genre art. To find out how to become involved in Women in Horror Month, head over to the website!

In the new year, we plan on launching several exciting new services such as the Full Throttle Film Festival, which will be dedicated to action films directed by women, and the Mistresses of Horror Alliance, which seeks to help women network with each other in order to create new opportunities for everyone.

Classic Ads: Galaga
Galaga (ギャラガ ) is a fixed shooter arcade game developed and published by Namco in Japan and published by Midway in North America in 1981. It is the sequel to Galaxian, released in 1979.
The world record high score for Galaga was set in June 1989 by Stephen Krogman of Boca Raton, Florida. Krogman scored 15,999,990 points based on Marathon rules. On January 1, 2011 Andrew Laidlaw of Kirkland, WA claimed the Tournament setting world record (five ships only, set to greatest difficulty) with a score of 4,525,150 points. [Wiki]
One of my top favourite games EVAR.

MICHONNE! <3 I don’t think they’ve utilized this character very well, yet, but I’m patient…

"Female Trouble: Why Powerful Women Threaten Hollywood" by Sasha Stone at Awards Daily.com →
As the end of the year approaches, so, too, does Awards Season. This piece, written by Sasha Stone, examines two of the most acclaimed female-directed films of 2012 - Katheryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty and Ava DuVernay’s Middle of Nowhere - and what it is about them that scares the bejesus out of the Big Boys.

Oooh…pretty…
**note** I’ve since discovered that there was an issue in the file that I didn’t experience in my tests. I’m working on sorting that out now and hope to have that sorted soon. Also, you can purchase directly from me a discounted PDF file.**
There’s a reason “writer” comes first in my hyphenate; I wrote short stories, and am working on a novel, even before I decided to make films and I write all of the films I make (or work on the script enough to add a little of my voice while retaining the original writer’s intent.) So, I’ve collected a few of my short horror stories together in an e-book that will be hitting most e-tailers early next year, but Amazon has it now for the Kindle. If you’re interested, and don’t have the Kindle, and don’t want to wait until next year, email me at Kimyoo.Films@gmail.com and we’ll work something out. :D
The collection contains 9 short stories and two work-in-progress chapters from my upcoming novel A Hammer Fell in Jerusalem!
I’m considering doing an audiobook version…but I want to see how these sales go first. I’m really bad at promoting myself so hopefully this will push me into being better about it because, after the e-tailers take their fee, the rest of the money comes to me to help me make movies. :D
