One of the joys of programming short films is seeing how they travel the world, engaging with diverse audiences, and eventually becoming available for everyone to enjoy. Such is the case with Abdullah, written and directed by Evrim Ersoy (currently Head of Programming at Fantastic Fest). After its world premiere at FrightFest in 2014, and its many festival appearances, it's now available for your viewing enjoyment.

But to add to the excitement, Mondo's Death Waltz Records is releasing an exclusive vinyl (yup,...

UK-based Ne'er Do Well Films and sometime Twitch contributor Evrim Ersoy are already making waves on the festival circuit, with 2012's Tokophobia in particular proving a shocking and memorable addition to FrightFest's short film programme that year.

Check it out below....
