#8: FANtasm

#7 | #9

FANtasm was a new (old) name given to CopperCon, for which I'd programmed in 2013. They asked me back in 2014 and I was especially happy to not only put together a short film set but also introduce a number of audience members to my favourite film of all time, Peter Jackson's debut feature, Bad Taste.

I would have been honoured anyway that Jake Roberts, the director of Where Terror Sleeps was able to attend with some of his team, but I was especially honoured because his film was a last minute inclusion in the set. I can't remember what I was trying to program, but I was unable to reach the filmmakers for permission and so cast around for a replacement. By sheer coincidence, a Facebook friend, Michael Harrelson, was talking about a Lovecraftian short he'd made and kindly put me in touch with Roberts. I also programmed another local film, Bonnie Sowle's Closed Quarters.

I should also highlight that Lowell Northrop, director of Bar Talk, which is based on a Joe R. Lansdale short story, didn't merely grant permission for me to screen his film; he also sent a couple of 11x17 posters for me to give away. Thanks, Lowell!
