Did I mention that I don't just watch films and write about 'em, sometimes I make 'em? I'm currently in Montreal for the FanTasia film festival. This is my fourth year here covering the fest, but my first year as a filmmaker, as well. I'm here with my filmmaking partner Colin Landry for the world premiere of our fifteen-minute horror-themed short Fallow. I wrote it, we both directed it and edited it (although Colin deserves more props than myself on this point for his mad computer skills), and a whole lot of other very dedicated people helped us make it. Anyhow, should you be in Montreal today, and feel like seeing a bunch of killer short films, Fallow is playing as part of FanTasia's Short Gauge Trauma program (5pm, Concordia Hall).
If it doesn't feel terribly self-promotional, I'll write about the experience later. Regardless, I'll be giving you the low-down on the movies that checked out, because if you like horror/action/fantasy/sci-fi/kung-fu/animation/Asian cinema in general FanTasia is the place to be.
In the meantime, if you want to see the trailerand/or a larger version of the poster (which was made by Justin Erickson and, as you can clearly see, rules!), check out the film's official website, here, which we'll be spiffing up and adding a bunch more content too very soon. Vive le cinéma!
