JAPANESE TRANSGRESSIONS, MONSTER MEETUPS, FESTIVAL DISCOUNTS and much more!
Hi ,
Welcome to the 4th NEWSLETTER of the year - incorporating HOLLYWOOD HORRORFEST and B&B into this one Newsletter. We've just released our latest SOHO CINEMA CLUB Podcast and have our regular INDIE FILMMAKERS Meetup on July 3rd. Plus we're extending our festival discounts for another month. Just for you. So July is looking to be extra fun all round.
So without further ado, read on…
THE FILM KUBRICK FILCHED?
Join Jared Carlson, Sean Sardi and I for our latest PODCAST as we explore the creative explosion that is the transgressive classic FUNERAL PARADE OF ROSES (1969). Learn how this one film essentially changed the face of Japanese cinema in the late 1960s. See how it became one of the most inspirational films of the decade (and beyond). And discover how star PETER (Shinnosuke Ikehata) channeled their unorthodox upbringing into this startling cinema debut.
Loosely based on the classical Greek play “Oedipus Rex” the film still outshines pretty much every film released since. It's a beacon to cinematic originality - so much so that much of its visual flair was liberally ‘borrowed’ by Stanley Kubrick for his 1972 production of “A Clockwork Orange.” You want to find out more? Then listen now...
CONTINUING OUR FESTIVAL DISCOUNT!
We're continuing our discount throughout July for you guys who want to enter this year's HOLLYWOOD HORRORFEST and BOOBS & BLOOD FILM FESTIVALS (Sept. 20-21).

DID YOU SEE US AT MONSTERPALOOZA?
Thanks for visiting us at MONSTERPALOOZA at Pasadena Conference Center - last May 30, 31, and June 1st. Always great catching up with old friends and making new ones too. It was a blast!
We met some amazing people including VAMPY herself - holing an engraved tile I created just for the event!
We were at the BOOBS & BLOOD table - our regular space on the HUNCHBACK aisle, Table 449 (by the concessions) - selling some of the rarest and most unique memorabilia at the convention.
Hopefully see you there next year!
