The 5th annual Shriekfest Film Festival Fall 2005

Shriekfest is a festival dedicated to getting horror/thriller/scifi filmmakers and screenwriters the recognition they deserve. What makes our festival unique is that we are free from any restrictions that other festivals may have...for instance, we are thrilled when your film has won in other festivals, we won't hold that against you by not allowing your film an entry possibility. The whole point of our festival is to help out the filmmakers by letting as many people see your film as possible (not by limiting when and where your film is shown). We just want to celebrate the art of filmmaking without all of the politics!

Bush (news - web sites), at the Animal gallery on New York City's lower east side. Curator of the show Bucky Turco said that Savido's painting of Bush was removed from an art exhibit at the Chelsea Market in Manhattan over the past weekend after the director of the market protested the content of the painting of Bush, which is made of tiny images of chimpanzees in a marsh-like landscape.

FirstGlance 8 Philadelphia Film Festival
May 11-15 2005
Painted Bride Art Center

FirstGlance was created in 1996 in Philadelphia and as we approach our ten year anniversary, we have seen amazing growth, from our meager beginnings in bars, and local 40 seat theaters. In our last year we have moved to 150 to 200 seat theaters in both Philadelphia and Los Angeles. We have grown from 50 to 75 entries a year to close to 500 entries per festival in 2003, and our audiences have grown from the hundreds to the thousands.We have officially changed the name of FirstGlance Los Angeles to FirstGlance Hollywood, and with the change, comes the addition of the FirstGlance Indie Expo, a weekend of seminars, product demonstrations, and services specifically tailored towards the truly indie filmmaker, that will run during the festival itself, now scheduled for early December 2004, just in time for the holidays and your tax write offs.As we grow, we are always in the search for bigger and better things, including new sponsorship and partnership opportunities, new and returning filmmakers, new advertisers, and volunteers to help us grow to become the biggest and best truly indie film festival on both coasts.One day soon, FirstGlance will be synonymous with giving the truly independent filmmaker the time to shine in the spotlight, and the opportunity to finally breakthrough into the mainstream.
In 2003, we have seen a feature film get major distribution, a former official selection, win the Chrysler Million Dollar Filmmaker Competition, our sponsors prize packages rise to 20,000 dollars and growing and our FirstGlance West Award winner, David Berenbaum, go from obscurity, to the scribe of two feature films released within a month.For 2004, we look forward to growing even bigger. We plan on upgrading our website to include filmmaker webpages, monthly shorts online, FirstGlance member discounts and become a more user friendly website.

             Once again I bore witness to one of Paul Sharp’s (The Donut Shop Preacher) IWF wrestling matches at the Cookeville Army National Guard base. It was madness.

A four-hour show of blood, guts, and bone jarring, back stabbing blows to the head. There were too many wrestlers to mention, but some must be noted.

Night Wolf opened the show by attacking the woman who sang the national anthem. He is a Cherokee Indian and made it clear that she was singing the wrong song on the wrong patch of dirt. Later, Night wolf had a planed match with Freak and an unplanned match with the army base supervisor who had some words about patriotism. Night Wolf won both matches. It should be noted however that Freak put a fight worth of a rematch – both men were air born most of the fight.

The reappearance of the Torture King (The Torture King in the wrestling scene) shook the room. TK and I are the same age and he proved that the old guys could still tear it up even if I can’t. He broke a sweat like on other.

Torture King:



Back from the dead is the once retired Mike Promo a man to be dealt with. Promo teamed up with Lord Frost who stands about 6’6” and has the meat to hammer a bull in to submission. Thiers was the match of the night!

Lord Frost:

Don;t forget Saturdays Toys For Tots show at the Armory. The wrestlers should all be there by 6pm, show starts at 7pm this is going to be our biggest and best show ever with over 50 performers 35 of which are wrestlers.

The Backseat Film Festival:



NEW YORK CITY
PHILADELPHIA
BALTIMORE
LAS VEGAS

MISSION STATEMENTThe Backseat Film Festival is a showcase for films of all genres, formats and lengths, but it spotlights quality work that may otherwise go unseen by the general public. We believe that films are meant to be watched and enjoyed.Filmmakers don’t put their hearts and souls into their movies just to jerk themselves off. They make them for people to see. Likewise, people don’t pay to see a movie so they can be preached at or so that some pretentious filmmaker can work out every emotional problem from his childhood. They go to see a good movie. We believe that films should be good. Really good.Films should be exciting, funny, scary and sexy. They should turn you on. They should change your life for having seen it. They should make you glad to be alive. They should not be ordinary or boring. We believe that moviegoers want variety in their options of films.Audiences are not idiots or children, but they have been treated as such by mainstream media makers. The local Cineplex or Blockbuster should not be your only option for watching movies. We believe that a film’s production budget, marketability and potential commercial appeal are not a reflection of its quality. A film of any size, shape or flavor can be a good film. And we believe all good films deserve a friendly venue and an attentive audience. We strive to provide that venue and to help seek that audience. THE BEST VIEW IS FROM THE BACKSEAT!

We’ve applied to this festival mainly because of this bloody photo.
