Man, what a day.  There was some really great stuff yesterday.  Two programs of shorts and quite a few of them were really good.  The stand-outs were "The Room", about a girl in a room, and finding out why.  It's not just about the full moon anymore.  : )
Then there was "Cheerbleeders".  Pretty funny stuff.  I love my horror with laughs.

The second program stand-outs were, "How My Dad Killed Dracula", a funny practical joke story a dad tells some kids on Halloween, and "Kirksdale", a very good inmates-take-over-the-asylum story.  This one won the best short film award.  It will be on the ComedyFilmNerd website before too long.

The feautres were not bad.  Well, one of them was bad.  Really bad.  But it was "Plan 9 From Outer Space" bad.  Clearly funny in unintentional ways.  But, a film called "Conjurer" was pretty good, if not more of a suspence/thriller/ghost story.  And it had John Schneider in it!  He was, of course, one of the original "Dukes of Hazzard", and Jonathon Kent on "Smallville". 

One of th eother films, "Alien Raiders" (worst title ever), had a few recognizable people in it, such as one of the guys from "24", and the gay cop from "Six Feet Under".  Strangely, he played another cop.  Apparently this movie has gotten distribution from Warner Bros. and will be on DVD soon.
Even some of the shorts had some recognizable faces.  In "Burying the Ex", the guy that plays the psychiatrist Sweet on "Bones" is the main character.  It's not a bad short, but could've used more funny.

This is a really great film festival.  It's not too big and impersonal, infact, it's liek a close-knit family of people.  And they're all really cool and nice.  I recommend it next year if anyone likes horror (and I know there's a lot of you) and some sci-fi movies.  I had a really good time and saw lots of fun stuff.

Hope everyone else had a good weekend!

Cheers!
