This year’s @popcornfrights was absolutely UNREAL. 🍿😱

I had the time of my life sharing TRAD with their incredible audience of genre maniacs and getting to watch our short on the big screen at the @classicgateway Theatre with family and friends, old and new…

The festival was especially meaningful because I first fell in love with horror films while renting Sam Raimi and George Romero tapes from Video Waves in Tamarac over-and-over-and-over again… 📼💀

The programming was insane!

We were treated to killer shorts blocks, fantastic new features like the grimy, gritty GATOR FACE and the total head trip, SENDER, along with fan-favorite classics like FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, WISHMASTER, and the South Florida epic BAND OF THE HAND, featuring special guests galore!

The screening of John Waters’ sleaze symphony POLYESTER in Odorama is an event I won’t soon forget. In fact, I think I can still smell it… 🦨

Much love to Marc, Igor, and the entire @popcornfrights crew for welcoming us, sharing our work, bringing like-minded lunatics together, and putting on a genre masterclass. 🙏🏻🖤
