Screamfest
On September 23rd, 2010 the Toronto Screamfest will be taking over the Fox Theatre for its second year! Hosted by Actress/Model Veronika London and sponsored by Anchor Bay Entertainment, Film Army and SKG Films, this year is shaping up to be bigger and better than last. Headlining the fest this year is Adam Green's 'Frozen' along with a solid line up of featured shorts and two films from local first-time film makers:
"Done Like Dinner" Directed by Tobias Kiel Two would-be robbers stumble upon a house where a lonely man resides.
"Case Study" Directed by Torin Langen After witnessing her mother being killed by her father, Stacy spirals into a cycle of self-mutilation and violence.
"Expired Poetry" Directed by Chris Lawson A depressed teen discovers the root of his feelings when a device is found inside of him that prevents him from feeling any positive emotion.
"Worm" Directed by Zach Green A 20 minute dark drama detailing the fragile and increasingly terrifying mental state of misanthropic High School teacher Geoffry Oswald Dodd.

"Remote" Directed by Marc Roussel Temporarily connected in time, a man tried to prevent the murder of a young woman, living in his house 30 years in the past.
"Victim" Directed by Ryan Barrett The North American premiere of this disturbing, violent short by talented film maker Ryan Barrett.
