The team behind the two Adam Ahlbrandt indie features making waves this
fest season (Cross Bearer, a gritty arthouse slasher, and The Cemetery, a
possession tale coated in ultra-violence) have announced their joint
world premiere at the cutting-edge cult mash up Pollygrind Film Festival
(theatre7, 1406 S. 3rd St, Las Vegas, NV 89104). In only its fourth year
the fest had already gained accolades for spotlighting rising directors
and premiering multiple features each year thus far. Named one of 2012s
25 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee by MovieMaker Magazine, Pollygrind
dishes out $30,000 in prizes, but also offers selected filmmakers the
ultimate brass ring- a relationship with legitimate distributors, who
attend the event in order to sign new features.
Ahlbrandt and his co-producers Natalie Jean (who also plays Heather
in Cross Bearer and Andrea in The Cemetery) and Doug Sakmann (SPFX
director and cameo actor in both films) spent the bulk of 2013 traveling
cross-country previewing the duo, and as a result gained a swelling
support system within the horror, underground, and art community.
Commendatory reviews from Horrorhound Magazine, Rue Morgue, Horror
Society, Wicked Channel, Decibal Magazine, Lloyd Kaufmann, Film Threat,
Horror Happens Radio Show, and a number of underground bloggers,
critics, and podcasts preceded the team’s decision on the upcoming
premiere of both- which were initially intended to be played
back-to-back.
Working alongside the Pollygrind founder Chad Clinton
Freeman the movies will be screening together for the first time and
collectively be known as Buried In Flesh: An Adam Ahlbrandt Double
Feature. Though different in tone and style each is fraught with filth,
gore, and a surprising amount of heart (both literally and
metaphorically), and are complimented by Ahlbrandt’s praised cinematic
eye. See for yourself Wednesday October 9th, at 8PMat theatre7 in Las Vegas.
Lead actress and producer Natalie Jean will be on-hand for the screenings as well as various events throughout the weekend.
