Forget Thanksgiving - we are getting ready for Halloween! Hit Spirit Halloween with daughter Em to get costume bits and home decor; earlier inspired by the set-up in the yard of neighborhood weekly Daggerheart headquarters. #halloween #spiritHalloween #costumes #decorations

An absolute delight of a Mark Mothersbaugh (& orchestra of killer local musicians) concert of his film and TV music w/ film segments, and related stories. My highlights: the three Devo songs (Gut Feeling from Life Aquatic; Worried Man from the Neil Young film Human Highway, Uncontrollable Urge from Wolf of Wall Street/ Ridiculousness), the Wes Anderson film pieces, the animated film pieces and the Pee Wee’s Playhouse opener and closer. An absolute delight. #viff #vifflive #markmothersbaugh #peeweesplayhouse #vancouver

Wednesday Oct 7th at 7:30pm headlining Off-VIFF, Becca Kozak’s Sugar Rot, if you dare (pairs nicely with Marion La Coroller’s Species at VIFF on Oct 9 if you want to double up on your body horror). Sugar Rot is a locally conceived and produced ice cream baby of an extreme feature powered by a blistering punk rock soundtrack; it’s coming home after shocking the world. Don’t get consumed! @off_viff @sugar_rot_productions #sugarrotfilm #offviff #bcfilm #generativityproductions #bodyhorror

That Audain Museum is something else. The first time a day of Psych CE included choir singing lessons, art exploration, and an interview with an Andes plane crash cannibalism survivor/author. #conference #ce #psychCE

Wrapped on this day in history, and now streaming in time for spooky season: the critically-acclaimed character-driven BC shocker Sawtooth Mountain …. Keeping legends alive sometimes requires sacrifices. #sawtoothmountainfilm #bcfilm #horror #generativityproductions #canadianfilm

It’s a mini-festival of new extreme body horror features from two of the world’s most badass women directors coming this week at VIFF and Off-VIFF. First, local legend Becca Kozak’s unhinged and extreme punk rock feminist body horror feature Sugar Rot (of which I’m a producer) screens 7:30pm on Oct 7 at Cineworks at Off-VIFF. Then, on Oct 9 the new French hospital body horror feature from Marion La Coroller, Species (aka Sanguine) plays again at VIFF (after having its Canadian premiere Oct 1 with me as VIFF launched). One is a high budget gory sly satire of capitalism, the other an ultra low budget shocker where christofascist creeps consume our sweet tasting heroine. One got banned in Texas, one was the toast of Cannes. Both have very intense, very weird sex scenes and over the top body horror gore afflicting the female leads, in films that shock for pointed polemical purpose. Get infected and consumed this weekend. “Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.” #species #sugarrot #viff #offviff #generativityproductions

This last weekend in September fun; on Friday as a podcast/games/kareoke dark knight; Saturday on set as a suitor for Penelope that was a dick to both Odysseus (@vega.cos) and the faithful swineherd (@stevekammerer), Sunday post an early screening, it was hot and sunny enough to chill outside in the back gardens (and go tarps off) with rescue dragon The Lizard of Oz - maybe the last day it will be warm enough for her to be outside for any length of time (& Mark Anthony Jarman’s stories are the best). Enjoy while you can! #weekend #costumes #beardedragon #filming #reading

The Lance Thunder and Beneath Crimson Sails series’ band got back together for some more Epic fun in Ancient Greece… and even an alternate version starring puppets. #bcfilm #EpictheMusical #vegacosplay #theodyssey #vancouverfilm

It’s much easier to be a mythical ancient Greek inside a warm studio, out of the rain (I will lose the glasses when the cameras roll). Some of the LT & BCS band getting back together for the next Vega Cos (Lyra Stern BCS & LT co-star) viewed-by-millions CMV. It’s Epic! #bcfilm #vegacosplay #epic #ancientgreece #vancouverfilm
