Film Premiere: Homicidal

Join me for the debut screening of my short horror film, Homicidal! Guests get a scratch n sniff card so you can not only see and hear - but also smell - the macabre events onscreen. 

Homicidal was inspired by the 1961 William Castle film of the same name, and by the #JohnWaters film Polyester. Cinematography + editing is by the talented Jasten King. 

The screening is part of the LankerSCREAM Festival of Fright - a weekend of spooky performances + cinema.

Admission is FREE but advance reservations are strongly recommended as space is limited! All ages welcome. RSVP at https://m.bpt.me/event/6458850 

The evening features short dance films based on the works of 1950s/60s horror director William Castle. Castle was known for his imaginative marketing gimmicks like theater seats wired to buzz and give the audience a scare at crucial moments! 

Many thanks to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs for making this project possible with a Dance in the City grant.

ROCK THE PLAZA: Benefit to restore the Plaza Theatre (Palm Springs, CA)

Rock & roll and restoration come together on Friday November 11 for Rock the Plaza - a live show and fundraiser to preserve Palm Springs’ historic Plaza Theatre, headlined by Alice Cooper, Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), and Orianthi (Michael Jackson).

Curated by musical directors guitarist Brian Ray (Paul McCartney) and keyboardist Spike Edney (Queen), the evening includes appearances by Ray and Edney, as well as guitarist Pete Thorn (Chris Cornell); bass player Jon Button (The Who); drummers Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses, The Cult) and Eric Singer (KISS); keyboardist Teddy Andreadis (Guns N’ Roses); and drag artist Diamondback Annie.

Built in 1936, the Plaza Theatre is owned by the City of Palm Springs. Showgoers will experience how palatial the Spanish Colonial Revival building is - and how in need of loving care it is.
