My DarkCon set in 2014 was a lot of fun to put together because it wasn't straight science fiction. DarkCon has a little more edge, so I programmed from a variety of punked genres: cyberpunk, steampunk, dieselpunk, stitchpunk etc. Also, after predominantly American sets at my first two events, this one was truly international in its scope, with films from seven countries including a couple of unusual sources in Turkey and the Netherlands. This was an odd set in that all but one short ran under ten minutes and as short as two, meaning that there were a lot of films shown in a standard slot. Only two films were local but I was honoured to have representatives from both attend to do a Q&A, which I remember ran long because there were so many good questions and answers. Ryan Johnston, the director of Helsing brought Desiree Srinivas, Sage Greenawalt and Mark Greenawalt. Ben Juhl, the director of The Wishing Skull brought the Moschcau brothers, Jared and Justin. To tie in to DarkCon's special guest, Adrian Paul, I obtained permission to screen one of his sci-fi features, Eyeborgs. A good crowd stayed after the short set to watch it on the Friday night, but when Paul came in to introduce the film for its Saturday repeat screening, I had an audience of one! |

A number of filmmakers came out to support their films with audience Q&As. On the left is Ryan Johnston and his team from Art of War Pictures who made Helsing. On the right is Ben Juhl and his team from Dirt Capsule Films, who made The Wishing Skull. |
