FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE 1ST ANNUAL TEXAS BLOOD BATH FILM FESTIVAL SCHEDULED
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The Texas Blood Bath Film Festival is an independent horror film festival to be held November 13th – 15th at the Bellmead Civic Center at 3900 Parrish, Bellmead, Texas.
The Texas Blood Bath Film Festival is seeking independent filmmakers who share a common vision to produce horror films that are original, creative, and technically superb to give them a venue to show their film to horror fans who’s attention is directly solely at the film festival and not long lines to get celebrity autographs. Texas Blood Bath will honor the filmmaker and the fan, first and foremost, in every decision made.
The Lou Perryman Audience Award will be presented to the film that receives the most votes from those in attendance at the festival, in honor of Lou Perryman, the Texas actor we all knew and loved as L.G. McPeters in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 who was recently taken from us in an act of senseless violence at his home in Austin. Other awards will be presented at the festival in several categories.
The Texas Blood Bath Film Festival Board of Directors is made up of Andrew Rose, Parrish Randall, Amanda Slaughter, and Maegan Booth. Each of these directors brings with them a love of independent horror cinema and a strong desire to provide a venue for horror filmmakers and horror fans to gather and watch horror not found in the mainstream cinema market today.
The Texas Blood Bath Film Festival judges for 2009 include Anthony Brownrigg, Brian Harris, Alan Rowe Kelly, and Eve Blaack. Anthony Brownrigg and Alan Rowe Kelly are independent horror filmmakers (writers, directors, producers, and actors), while Brian Harris and Eve Blaack are film reviewers/critics who have written hundreds of reviews for their chosen medium; Brian for WildSide Cinema and Eve for The Hacker’s Source.
Brooke Lewis, Philly Chick Pictures, is scheduled to appear as Ms. Vampy, the vampire hostess from the recently launched internet smash hit MsVampy.net, and serve as the Mistress of Ceremonies.
Half of all proceeds from The Texas Blood Bath Film Festival will be given to local and national charities.
The Texas Blood Bath Film Festival Board of Directors is actively seeking sponsorships from companies, individuals, and other organizations that have a desire to further the art of independent horror cinema and advertise to horror filmmakers and fans alike.
