BEST OF FEST
An Evening of Independent Film
Presented by Indie Express
At The Victory Theatre Center
Indie Express has teamed up with The Victory Theatre Center, an intimate non-profit theatre company who has been developing new plays, producing world premieres and West Coast premieres of emerging talent for 27 years. We felt it was a good match as it is our goal to explore the breadth of talent in filmmaking, with a special focus on the truly independent filmmaker. We've been in talks with several filmmakers to create a screening series to showcase their films, hence the birth of Best of Fest.

Throughout the 1950's and 60's, William Castle produced and directed a series of horror films marked by their outrageous audience participation gimmicks. Castle treated moviegoers to buzzing seats, flying skeletons, luminescent ghosts and life insurance policies — and they loved every minute of it. Spine Tingler!
The William Castle Story is a documentary about the last great American showman. It is a rags to riches tale of a legend of exploitation and master of self-promotion, yet a man privately plagued by a fear of failure and a desperate desire to be respected among his peers. |
