FREAKIN’ WEEKEND is heading to Scotland. 🖤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We’re thrilled to announce that Freakin’ Weekend has been officially selected to screen at the @thehorrorcutshow Film Festival in Scotland. Huge thanks to the programmers for welcoming our weird little film across the pond.

If you’re into horror with heart, chaos, and a slightly unhinged weekend energy… this one’s for you.
More soon. For now, enjoy the trailer.

This Friday at 6, Freakin Weekend lights up the @bigpicturepeoriafilm in Peoria.
If you’ve ever dreamed of watching my work the way cinema was meant to be experienced — flickering majestically at 24fps while you question your life choices — this is your moment.
