Well we've come to the last week of SF Indie Fest and it's bittersweet. I hope you guys made it out to a couple of these screenings, especially since many of them had guests from the movie there to answer questions and talk about the film afterwards. All the screenings we made it out to were awesome and I hope these movies get wider releases now that the fest is coming to a close. There are still a lot that I want to see! And there are still a couple of chances to check some of these movies out, but this is the last week until next year.

Indie Fest!
Monday 22nd @ 7pm (1hr 38min)
This showcase features some of the best indie horror, sci-fi and “genre” work normally dismissed by more traditional film festivals."
Wednesday 24th @ 9:15pm (1hr 32min)
Drama/ Horror/ Mystery (IMDB)
"A long-forgotten horror film somehow makes it into your DVD player. For some reason, you click on the commentary track. As the director and writer discuss the images on the screen, it becomes apparent that the horror behind the camera was far more disturbing than what they filmed. An exercise in brilliant meta-commentary, this is like Mystery Science Theater done by Hannibal Lecter. Featuring Barry Lyndon star Leon Vitali as himself, and Frankenstein in the actual Terror of Frankenstein. -Bears Fonte"
