It is with extreme pleasure to share with you here I have been granted a media pass from David Aboussafy the director of the festival. I was given the pleasure for The Vancouver Short Film Festival last month.
This being only their second fest with the first one last year selling out and is looking as though this one may as well.
I had seen two of the shorts last month at the VSFF but they seem more suited here with an audience that will certainly appreciate them , Hallow is a creepy little film -made some of my top choices and Bite is an entertaining zombie romance --if you will.
This festival starts early at 3 pm and will end about 11:15-11:30.It also will have the shorts running through the day and two feature films --the one above The Evil in Us looks creepy as hell.
Happening just this past week the film was picked up for distribution by Raven Banner Entertainment.
Here is the trailer is on Vimeo so have the link:
The Evil In Us Trailer(click here)--start time :-7:30 PM
The other full length film is Atroz(Atrocious)
This film was also picked up for distribution by Unearthed Films for Canada and the US.
Here is the trailer: Warning not for the squemish or those that do not like horror films(what's wrong with you?)
David told me tonight that Atroz shot in guerilla style film making the local little old ladies in their black dress and praying over the actress speaking in Spanish in Mexico were startled when the woman's brains were splattered all over the road after they staged a car accident--the film makers had to make a sign to let the people know that this was not real , but a movie that was being made. It sounds funny now but at that particular moment in time was probably pretty scary for the townsfolk.

Personal Quotes:
[on her background] I started with the Russ Meyer stuff and then I discovered there was this whole world of nudie cuties, B-movies, and all these crazy subgenres. And Tarantino was a big part of that.
I have a horseshoe up my ass sideways: I have weird luck. But they say that coincidence is the fabric of magic, so I kinda just take it with a grain of salt, if I can just have my West Coast hippie-raver movement there. Everything kinda happens for a reason, and I love the genre so much. I'm never going to be put in a romantic comedy. I'm never going to be cast in high drama. I'm in the underground where I belong. And I enjoy it 'cause these are my people, and I'm a fan.(source IMDB)
