Another cool vendor/filmmaker I would like to introduce yinz too is a cool guy: filmmaker, writer, and producer. I remember traveling to Fairmont, West Virginia to be on set of his film “Die and Let Live” and getting lost. Then finding the real life Leatherface house, it is West Virginia people. He also made one of the best independent films in the past several years that I you to buy lots of copies of “Winners Tape All: The Henderson Brothers Story” for friends and family. H…is talent and films are something I do not joke around about as I find him to be one of the best independent people out there. I introduce you to Justin Channell. Plus I believe Zane Crosby will be also hanging with him for the show. Lots of stories of do’s and don’ts of independent filmmaking will be had.
Okay folks if you are ready for something completely different from me this is the project you have been waiting for? The book (Tales from the Gross Side) is a collection of short horror stories that have been rolling around in my head, unfinished movie scripts, or story ideas. These stories have been something I have wanted to write for quite a while. And now I thought it was the right time for people to get a look inside my mind. This book is something I use to do in my hig…h school days on a regular basis writing story after story. This perhaps helps give you the idea of you should always feel young and enjoy the scary things of life? Yeah I am not the next Stephen King, Mike Watt, or Dean Koontz just an ordinary dude who believes beer and horror movies are a religion. As long as I am on this earth I will enjoy doing what I do!
Old you would go buy it now!

For our next Grossfest announcement of vendor/guests is someone who is trying and succeeding to keep the B-movie spirit alive and well Ohio independent movie scene. He is a man of many trades and a self-taught filmmaker. His first film was a 8mm spoof of ‘The Last Detail’. All of their films try to add that Russ Meyer and Mickey Spillane influence and give the audience a film they can just sit back and enjoy.
Let me introduce you to Robert and the RAK Films crew!

For our next Grossfest vendor announcement I would like to introduce you to a cool filmmaker. He is a writer, producer, director, and actor of several projects. One of them includes a cool holiday horror film “Groundhog” that I really enjoyed! He is from Massachusetts and is a part of a group called “BoomBastic Films” an independent production company from Massachusetts. He will most likely be seated next to the sexy Nic Charles? His name is Mathew Fisher.
