For Immediate Release: Countdown To FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: COUNTDOWN TO PRODUCTION FOR CRAZY8s 2016 FILMMAKERS The films will premiere at a Gala Screening on Saturday February 27th, to be followed by an AfterParty at Science World VANCOUVER, February 9th, 2016 – Friday, February 12th is the first of three days of production for the six determined filmmaking teams tasked with making a short film in only eight days as part of the Crazy8s challenge. Provided with $1,000 cash and significant in-kind assistance from generous industry sponsors, filmmakers will follow up production with five days of post and a delivery date of Friday February 19th at 6:00 pm. Since the six winning teams were announced on January 12th, it’s been only a few precious weeks of frenzied workdays and sleepless nights for our filmmakers. The days have flown by in a flurry of production meetings, a DGCBC Directors workshop with mentor Allan Harmon, an IATSE 669 Cinematography workshop with mentor Danny Nowak, casting with sponsor Breakdown Services/Actors Access and our eight dedicated casting directors, location scouting, rehearsals, design meetings, technical meetings and even more production meetings! As production looms, here’s how the teams are shaping up: Director Shannon Kohli is lavishly recreating the early 1900s for A Family of Ghosts, to be shot at Hycroft in Shaughnessy and at CWSB Jamestown in Langley. Star Kacey Rohl (The Magicians, Hannibal) has her work cut out for her as she is tasked with riding a horse at full gallop while wearing the constricting fashion of the time, as provided by production designer Candise Paul and costume designer Bahar Iranpour. What started out as a radio script for CBC’s The Irrelevant Show has now become Grocery Store Action Movie, a kick-ass action film parody written by and starring Peter Carlone and Chris Wilson of the very funny sketch duo Peter n’ Chris. Awe-inspiring grocery store stunts will be directed by Matthew Campbell under the watchful eye of stunt coordinator Leif Havdale, two- time UBCP Stunt Performer of the Year (for his work on Arrow). Horror/comedy I Love You So Much It’s Killing Them is up against a demanding schedule of 13 locations and a plethora of murders by lovelorn serial killer, Vivian (Alex Duncan). Make-up artist April Beer (Vault of Terror II) provides the gore for numerous onscreen deaths -- by crushing, drowning, stabbing, crossbow, hatchet, multiple knives and a giant brick. Director Joel Ashton McCarthy is trying not to panic. Director Jesse Lupini has gathered together a small army of over 60 crew to help him bring to life the dystopian vision of his sci-fi short, Iteration 1. Starring Katharine Isabelle (American Mary, Hannibal, Ginger Snaps) and Zak Santiago, the film’s ambitious visual effects will be overseen by Armand Vladau (Sin City, The Expendables) and Eduardo Parra (Furious 7, Night at the Museum). The massive set build in Mission will include a full-sized indoor tree. …2 2. Director Patrick Currie is thrilled that he will be shooting bisexual romantic comedy Meet Cute on Valentine’s Day. A sweet and sexy tribute to the fluidity of desire, the film stars Danny Mac and Brendee Green as two people who meet by chance at a wedding and have to contend with an undeniable attraction that doesn't adhere to the conventional labels of sexuality. The name Shauna Johannesen will be familiar to anyone who’s a fan of the 2014 Crazy8s hit, Bedbugs: A Musical Love Story. For that film, Shauna walked away with Leo Awards for Screenwriting and Best Female Actor in a Short Drama. With Trying, she’s flexing her directing muscles for the first time, to tell the very funny story of a couple so desperate to have a baby that they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. For being a part of Crazy8s, each team receives $1,000 cash and a production support package that includes top-of-the-line camera, lighting and grip packages, production insurance, location permits, on-line editing, a professional sound mix and much, much more. Huge thanks to all our wonderful sponsors and supporters for making it all possible. The finished films will premiere at the Gala Screening at The Centre (777 Homer St.) on Saturday, February 27th at 7:00 pm (doors at 6:00 pm). The AfterParty that follows at Science World will include a red carpet entrance, performances by hot new band Little India (winner of both The Shore 104.3 FM’s ‘Best of BC’ and CFOX’s ‘Seeds 2014’ Competitions), sets by DJ Dubba G & DJ Ahtz and DJ Emilita, live music by Vova Bedzvin and Imi Oto, and a special performance by the dance group, Crazy, choreographed by Joel Sturrock and Jen Oleksiuk. All that, plus food, drink, and the legendary chocolate fountain! Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door.

In her twenties she falls in love with Thomas, a poor piano tutor her overprotective grandparents decide is not good enough for their darling Abigail. They may be ghosts only Abigail can see, but these ancient apparitions can still do some serious damage to her romantic prospects. GROCERY STORE ACTION MOVIE Matthew Campbell (Director), Peter Carlone and Chris Wilson (Writers), Jameson Parker, David Kaye and Ryan Silva (Producers) Featuring Chris Wilson, Peter Carlone, Caitlin Howden, Ryan Biel, Taz Van Rassel, Aaron Reid, Nima Golomniphur Alex is in the express checkout lane at the grocery store when he realizes with horror that he has forgotten the all-important crackers.

A hilarious send-up of action movie clichés created by and starring three-time Canadian Comedy Award-winning sketch duo Peter n’ Chris. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH IT’S KILLING THEM Joel Ashton McCarthy (Director/Writer), Mike Doaga (Writer), Nach Dudsdeemaytha, Marena Dix and Keli Moore (Producers) Featuring Alex Duncan, Clayton Chitty, Amelia Lyttle, Gabrial Carter, Abigail Kotyk, Rory Tucker A pitch-black comedy about Vivian, a lonely serial killer whose three loves in life are math, accounting, and killing random people. This all changes when she meets the handsome Alex, a colleague at the insurance company where she works. Now Vivian has a new lease on life and a new reason to commit her gruesome acts: she does it for Alex. But what happens when Vivian discovers that he might not be worth the effort? ITERATION 1 Jesse Lupini (Director/Writer), Lucas Kavanagh (Writer), Arshia Navabi and Mert Sari (Producers) Featuring Katharine Isabelle, Zak Santiago, Jakob Davies A young woman wakes up imprisoned in a strange white room. She has sixty seconds to solve the puzzle of how to break out of the room before she dies, only to be reborn immediately to begin again, each time joined by the shadowy impressions of her previous iterations. As times passes, the woman learns from her mistakes and at last breaks free – but what lies beyond is unspeakable. …4. 4.

TRYING Shauna Johannesen (Director/Writer), Lulu Pan (Producer) Featuring Christina Sicoli, Patrick Gilmore Mid-thirties couple Ellie and Steve have been trying to get pregnant for 1 year, 2 months and 6 days. While all around them their friends are popping out babies like nobody’s business, Ellie and Steve are enduring embarrassment at fertility clinics and injecting weird substances into their butts, all the while scheduling their intimate encounters with the exactitude of a forensic accountant.

    Brno Studies in English Volume 39, No. 2, 2013 ISSN 0524-6881 DOI: 10.5817/BSE2013-2-8 ANDRÉ LOISELLE CANADIAN HORROR, AMERICAN BODIES: CORPOREAL OBSESSION AND CULTURAL PROJECTION IN AMERICAN NIGHTMARE, AMERICAN PSYCHO, AND AMERICAN MARY Abstract Many Canadian horror films are set in the United States and claim to provide a graphic critique of typically American social problems. Using three made-in- -Canada films that explicitly situate themselves “south of the border,” – Ame- rican Nightmare“ (1983, Don McBrearty), “American Psycho” (2000, Mary Harron), and “American Mary” (2012, Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska) – this essay argues that these and other similar cinematic tales of terror have less to do with America than with Canada’s own national anxieties. These films project Ca- nadian fears onto the United States to avoid facing our national implication in horror, mayhem and chaos; and more often than not, the body is the preferred site of such projection. In this way, such films unwittingly expose Canada’s dark obsessions through cultural displacement. Ultimately, this article suggest that Canadians have a long way to go before they can stop blaming the American monster for everything bad that happens to them, and finally dare to embrace their own demons. Key words Canadian horror films; the body as site of terror; Imaginary Canadian; Cana- da-US relationship; Toronto and Vancouver masquerading as American cities Canadian comedian Martin Short was once asked by American late-night TV show host David Letterman what is the difference between the inhabitants of the two neighboring nations. In what is probably the most accurately pithy answer to this eternal question, Short wittily replied, “Americans watch TV, Canadians watch American TV” (Pevere 1998: 10).

  • Press Kit Falling Angels
    Falling Angels A film by Scott Smith Based on the novel by Barbara Gowdy With Miranda Richardson Callum Keith Rennie Katherine Isabelle RT : 101 minutes 1 Short Synopsis It is 1969 and seventeen year old Lou Field and her sisters are ready for change. Tired of enduring kiddie games to humour a Dad desperate for the occasional shred of family normalcy, the Field house is a place where their Mom’s semi-catatonic state is the result of a tragic event years before they were born. But as the autumn unfolds, life is about to take a turn. This is the year that Lou and her sisters are torn between the lure of the world outside and the claustrophobic world of the Field house that can no longer contain the girls’ restless adolescence. A story of a calamitous family trying to function, Falling Angels is a story populated by beautiful youthful rebels and ill-equipped parents coping with the draw of a world in turmoil beyond the boundaries of home and a manicured lawn. 2 Long Synopsis Treading the fine line between adolescence and adulthood, the Field sisters have all but declared war on their domineering father. Though Jim Field (Genie and Gemini winner Callum Keith Rennie ) runs the family house like a military camp, it’s the three teenaged daughters who really run the show and baby-sit their fragile mother Mary, (Two-time Oscar ® nominee Miranda Richardson) as she quietly sits on the couch and quells her anxiety with whiskey. It’s 1969 and beneath suburbia’s veneer of manicured lawns and rows of bungalows, the world faces explosive social change.

  • The Horror of the Failed Female Hero's Journey in Carrie And
    Monstrous Journeys: The Horror of the Failed Female Hero’s Journey in Carrie and Ginger Snaps Rebecca Sterling CSUSM Fall 2017 Sterling 1 Introduction One of the most common tropes that permeates the Horror genre is the depiction of women as monsters. Horror films and novels depict women as victims of possession, wielders of dark powers, and villainous hags. In my thesis I focus on the representation of adolescent, menstruating women in the horror genre, using two contemporary texts from North America. My chosen texts are works that overtly depict menstruation and puberty: Stephen King’s Carrie and John Fawcett’s Ginger Snaps. In Carrie and Ginger Snaps, both title characters experience traumatic menarches that lead them to horrific journeys. Both Ginger and Carrie become monsters because of their unusual puberty, which prevents them from becoming part of a female community and finding a place of belonging. Instead of joining groups of likeminded women, Ginger and Carrie eliminate the communities around them; their monstrosity is so destructive that their failures result in the failures of the women around them. The representation of menstrual women in horror suggests that those who do not menstruate normally are ultimately doomed to become outsiders and fail their hero’s journeys, which implies to audiences that there is a “normal” way to menstruate and that women who do not menstruate “normally” can never become functional members of society. In some cases, the social stigmatization of menstruation gives rise to the monstrous potential of women in horror. In Stephen King’s Carrie, Carrietta White begins her period in the school shower and is ruthlessly bullied because of it.

Flaherty Howling (and Bleeding) at the Moon: Menstruation, Monstrosity and the Double in the Ginger Snaps Werewolf Trilogy by Erin M. Flaherty Abstract In this essay, I explore the radical reframing of the traditional werewolf narrative with respect to the figure of the double and the abject female body in the Ginger Snaps werewolf trilogy. Notable theorists discussed herein include Barbara Creed, Carol Clover, Julia Kristeva, April Miller and Robin Wood. Throughout both its folkloric and cinematic history, the creature of the werewolf has been constructed almost invariably as a male monster suffering within a Jekyll and Hyde-like narrative of the double. An otherwise exemplary member of Robin Wood’s society of surplus repression, the male lycanthrope is doomed to endure a monthly transformation into monstrous, murderous beast, the Other that challenges normality through its very existence.
