ABOUT THE EVENT: What festival isn’t complete without a late night edition? These films masterfully create eerie and thrilling vibes, leaving all of us wanting more. ABOUT THE FILMS: “The Thaw,” 2023, Dirs. Sarah Wisner and Sean Temple, 17 Min, USA THE THAW is set in the late 19th century in the challenging Vermont hills. Ruth and her aging parents, Alma and Timothy, struggle to subsist on a failing farm after Ruth is abandoned by her unfaithful husband. They turn to a remedy as old as the hills, a sleeping tea that allows the elderly and infirm to sleep out the winter months while frozen and packed in snow, to be safely revived in the spring. But when a storm blows in an early thaw, the ritual is broken and the sleepers wake too soon – to horrifying results. “Manny Wolfe,” 2024, Dir. Trevor Neuhoff, 14 Min, USA California Premiere! It’s 1947. Manny Wolfe is an actor exhausted by Tinseltown. He also happens to be a real werewolf. After nonstop rejection, Manny gets a job. Unfortunately he’s been typecast in a creature feature. Will Manny choose the big Hollywood role at the price of his own dignity and artistic integrity? He thinks that’s his only choice until he receives an unexpected offer from a fellow monster outcast. “Alma Mater,” 2021, Dir. Matthew P. Higgins, 6 Min, USA As Arthur (30s) turns the pages of his late father’s 1973 high school yearbook, he receives a phone call. The caller knows Arthur is reading the yearbook—and tells him to burn it immediately. The reason: a teacher from the high school murdered their friends and classmates. The student body decided to burn all of the yearbooks…or so they thought. The tension reaches a boiling point when a menacing, silhouetted spirit suddenly lurks behind Arthur… “FISHMONGER,” 2023, Dir. Neil Ferron, 23 Min, USA In this supernatural dark comedy, a pathetic Irish fishmonger must survive a sex pact with an ancient fish creature in order to save his mother’s soul from burning in hell.
