A love letter to John Waters written in blood, Joshua Grannell’s debut feature, All About Evil, dares to be everything a gushing fan boy, or girl, or drag queen could want. The film opens with a wink and a nod to Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? as little Deborah Tennis is gearing up to take the stage for her first performance at her father’s movie theater, before a screening of The Wizard of Oz.
Dressed as Dorothy, and visibly nervous, even after a pep talk by her father. Sadly things don’t go well, as she is heckled by her peers and further embarrassed by her literal wicked witch of a mother who laughs when things go awry for the poor girl. Cut to present day, all grown up, and surely none the better for it considering her upbringing, Deborah (Natasha Lyonne) has inherited her father’s movie...

The Myth of the American Sleepover Trailer has premiered. David Robert Mitchell‘s The Myth of the American Sleepover (2010) movie trailer stars Jade Ramsey, Amy Seimetz, Nikita Ramsey, Amanda Bauer, and Jean Louise O’Sullivan. The Myth of the American Sleepover plot synopsis: “The Myth Of The American Sleepover is a youthful and tender coming-of-age drama from first-time writer/director David Robert Mitchell. In the tradition of free-wheeling tributes to adolescence like Dazed & Confused, the film follows four young people (a cast of brilliant young newcomers in their feature film debuts) on the last night of summer – their final night of freedom before the new school year starts. The teenagers cross paths as they explore the suburban wonderland they inhabit in search of love and adventure – chasing first kisses, elusive crushes, popularity and parties – and discover the quiet moments that will later resonate as the best in their youth.”

First love, young love. Those days when it feels as if you're right on the brink of some flashpoint moment end up burned into your brain. Or the idea of those days is burned in, at least, and that's what ends up being part of the limitless energy that powers cinema. The Myth of the American Sleepover runs entirely on that energy as it follows a handful of kids on the cusp of adulthood as they try to spark a connection on the last weekend of summer. First-timer David Robert Mitchell directs a young cast (Jade Ramsey, Amy Seimetz, Nikita Ramsey, Amanda Bauer, Jean Louise O'Sullivan, Claire Sloma) in a story that looks a bit like Gus Van Sant remaking a John Hughes movie, or even like a Larry Clark movie that isn't wholly creepy. I don't know if it works, but the trailer has enough moments that click that...

We have our first trailer and poster via Apple for the micro-budget film starring Jade Ramsey, Amy Seimetz, Nikita Ramsey, Amanda Bauer, Jean Louise O’Sullivan, and Claire Sloma, and you can see it below.

Director Joshua Grannell has always had a deep love of all those cheesy type horror movies that they used to air late at night. He's also had a passion for old school style theaters that play revivals of those late night cheesy movies. So it's no wonder he managed to create a valentine to those theaters and to those movies with his very first feature length film, All About Evil. He also gave one of his idols, Elviria aka Cassandra Peterson, a great little role sans costume as a concerned mom trying to understand her son's love of the horror genre. All About Evil features an all star cast of players including Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Dekker, Noah Segan, Mink Stole, Jade Ramsey, Nikita Ramsey, Ariel Hart, Lyndsy Kail, Santia Andrews and Julie Caitlin Brown. Here's what director Joshua Grannell had to say about his film, All About Evil which is...

So, Film Friday continues with another episode from Soul Fire Rising called "I Give You My Soul," which is so thick with religious themes that one might wonder: is the source Christian influenced? After some investigation this webseries is not Christian sourced, but simply from the twisted writing mind of Kurt Patino (Cup O' Joe). Also, the soul is heavily referenced in the series, and here is that lesson you were hoping to avoid, the soul is an ancient reference to the heart as the seat of human consciousness from Greek philosophy. However, science has refuted this belief and shown that the mind is, of course, the seat of man's consciousness, behaviours and the instigator for emotions. Have a watch as character Lilith demands the soul of others which could be given a way freely as this concept is not based in reality!

Film Friday begins with a power struggle between heaven and hell for the souls of the damned - those of us on Earth. Soul Fire Rising is a web series with episodes ranging in length from three to five minutes. The episodes can be seen as stand alone short features or as a continuous showing, so Film Friday begins with one of the best from the series, "The Temptation." Fire explodes in this third episode with one man guilt stricken over the death of his fiance in a tragic auto accident. Have a watch of the full feature inside for Film Friday!

Director: David Robert Mitchell Writer: David Robert Mitchell Starring: Claire Sloma, Marlon Morton, Amanda Bauer, Brett Jacobsen The end of summer is quickly approaching and teenagers around town are reluctantly preparing to begin a new year of school. The soon-to-be high school freshmen are participating in random sleepovers around town, while the upper classmen are hosting wild parties of their own. I suspect this scenario is a fantasy (perhaps a myth?) for most teens – an entire town in which everyone between the age of 14 and 19 has a sleepover or party to attend…and not an adult in sight. (It is as if the parents have vanished and left their teenage kids to their own devices.) Maggie (Claire Sloma) is arguably the main character of this mammoth ensemble cast – I say that primarily because the film opens and closes with her character’s story and I would venture a wager that she has the most screen-time.

I’m liking what I see so far for All About Evil, a black comedy that spoofs off of classic horror flicks and sets itself in a classic movie house. Kind of like the one I used to work at. Good times. The story surrounds Deborah, a mousy librarian, who inherits her father’s failing old movie house, The Victoria. In order to keep the business alive, she cranks out a series of grisly short films where the gore is all too real. The film stars Natasha Lyonne, Jack Donner, Jade and Nikita Ramsey, Noah Segan (Dead Girl), Thomas Dekker (Nightmare on Elm Street), [...]

First-time feature filmmaker Joshua Grannell sent along the second teaser poster for his fright feature All About Evil (the first can be seen here). This piece of art, which you can see below, features sisters/actresses Jade and Nikita Ramsey, who play Vera and Veda, described by Grannell as “killer twins who were institutionalized earlier in life after murdering their family at 7 years of age. They are silent but deadly and were born knowing all about evil.”
The film tells the story of an introverted librarian (played by Natasha Lyonne) who inherits her late father’s decomposing movie house. In order to get business moving, she churns out a series of gory shorts, in which the gore and murders are all too real. The film co-stars Thomas Dekker (of From Within and the Nightmare On Elm Street remake, among others), Cassandra Peterson a.k.a. Elvira, Deadgirl’s Noah Segan...
