HOLLYWOOD: 48 HOURS IN PURGATORY
You know I love to support indie filmmakers both in and out of the horror genre and this one, starring my business associate, Andrew Roth, definitely grabbed my attention! I love me a good psychological drama and I have a feeling I will be a strong supporter of this one! Check it out:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO FACE YOUR INNER DEMONS?
Ambitious Indie Film “48 Hours in Purgatory” Opens Shooting May 15, 2009

48 Hours in Purgatory is a film about people. From the bad-ass crew of rock star film-makers to the subjects of their latest documentary, this movie explores the complexity of relationships, whether with others or with oneself.
Brody Hawkins (Andrew Roth) and his cohorts Veronique (Emily Alatalo), Jagt (Sean Saska) and Arkham (JC Hewitt), have risen to prominence in the New York film scene with documentary after documentary exploring the “demons of New York City.” Their films – ranging in subject matter from memorial tattoos using the ashes of cremated loved ones to the rare, sudden onset of mental illness in women delivering children –have become “must-sees.”
Hot off the heels of their latest film (the box-office smash “Bagface”) Brody and company head to Canada, a place where Brody has demons of his own, to film Veronique's pet project, 48 Hours in Purgatory. The film is to be a docustudy exploring what happens when people are (voluntarily) confined to small room and forced to confront the skeletons in their closets.
Things start out very well, in spite of emotional tensions among the crew. Part way through filming, however, tragedy strikes. Brody tries to soldier on and finish the film, pushing each subsequent subject harder and harder into the dark places of their lives. Finally Brody finds himself alone at the location, abandoned by his crew, with one subject remaining; A subject who will turn the tables on him, leading him to face his own inner demons.
Do our self-deceptions serve us better than we imagine? Do we have the courage to look past the simple labels we place on others? Do we have the courage to face our inner demons?
Written and Directed by musician Jason Armstrong, “48 Hours in Purgatory” explores those questions and more in this character-rich story about love, regret, fear, and the lies we tell ourselves.

Sexy SCARS Readers:

Welcome back to my BABBLING BROOKE BLOG! As promised, you will get a little HORROR...a little HOLLYWOOD...a little HIGH DRAMA! :)

HORROR: I just got off the plane from 3 days in Vegas at XANADU CON and I look scarier than any horror flick I've watched lately! :) After not sleeping for days, I have bags under my eyes larger than Louie Vuitton Luggage!!! :) I am super bummed that I missed LA FANGO, but I definitely worked and partied in true Vegas fashion. I had the opportunity to speak on a few horror film panels with some amazing Scream Queens and Tucky Williams and I tore up Mandalay Bay one night! Michael Papajohn (SPIDER-MAN;TERMINATOR SALVATION) and I shared a booth at the convention and laughed our asses off! My favorite panel was WOMEN IN HORROR: OBJECTIFYING & SEXUALITY. I had the honor of speaking with my new horror gal pals:
Rachel Grubb (CAVE WOMEN ON MARS;TERROR OVERLOAD) and Tucky Williams (DEAD MOON RISING;SHADOWS LIGHT). Between the 3 of us, there was such great energy and so much girl POWER! Rachel owns SILENT-BUT-DEADLY PRODUCTIONS with Brooke Lemke and is a true artist thru and thru...she is everything I had read about and more. Tucky is so beautiful on the outside, but one of the sweetest women I have met in horror yet! I am thinking of leaving Hollywood to meet more cool chicks like this! :) I hope we will stay in touch for days to come.
Of course, I cannot forget to mention and thank my B MOVIE MAN, Nic Brown! Not only did Nic do an awesome, detailed interview with me, but he acted as the bodygard to Tucky and I all weekend ;) Thanks, Nic, baby!!!

HOLLYWOOD: XANADU included wonderful vendors and filmmakers outside of the horror genre, as well. I was fortunate to meet a lovely couple, Gwydhar and Dan, who will not be forgotten (again, those wonderful people who you may never be lucky enough to meet in life, if you never leave Hollywood! :) I have a strong gut feeling these guys are up to big things, so here's a "bite" of info about their company:
Blue Damen Pictures is a non profit film production company based in Chicago whose mission is to give individuals with an interest in filmmaking the opportunity to get hands on experience in production. We recently produced the award winning experimental short "Persephone" which is a retelling of the Greek myth of Persephone using masks and puppets. Currently we are working on a project called "The Insomniac Chronicles" which is a series of short films that will eventually be put together to create a feature length film all seen through the eyes of someone suffering from sleep deprivation. The first short in the series, entitled "The Visionary" will be previewing in May and the trailer for it can be seen on our website.

Now, if making new friends wasn't cool enough, Gwydhar sent me back to LA with the most incredible drawing of MS. VAMPY ever!!! It is so getting framed this week! Check out her artwork too:

HIGH DRAMA: Okay, the highest drama at XANADU had to be the money Brooke Lewis spent, not gambling, but on CLOTHES!!! OMG!!! I was introduced to the sweetest, sickest, vampiest clothing boutique EVER and couldn't control myself...gotta shout out to Tushell, London, Rebel and the girls!
BAD ATTITUDE BOUTIQUE
You must (and, I will accept gifts from here ;) :

Gotta unpack...yuk!

The press release and links were posted all over the place, but there are a few horror journalists, media and magazines who deserve a SPECIAL THANKS for insanely plugging MS. VAMPY on their media pages!!! These peeps went the extra "bite" for me and I am forever grateful:

Stay tuned for EPISODE 2 next Friday www.msvampy.net

HOLLYWOOD: Thursday night I attended the red carpet screening of DESDEMONA: A LOVE STORY at the Beverly Hills Film Festival. I wanted to support the film and talented actor/producer James LaMarr. Often times with indie dramas, the viewer is quite disappointed...surely NOT the case with this one! I was so moved by this artistic film, my heart aches 3 days later! In the vein of a ROMEO AND JULIET, this film is beautifully shot, directed and acted. I was truly impressed with Phillip Guzman's direction and the work of Jorge A. Jimenez and Denton Blane Everett was tremendous!
Check it out:
"Two well-meaning brothers kidnap a wealthy man's wife for money to bury their father. Emotions flare & complications arise causing unpredictable and tragic results in this gritty street drama."

HIGH DRAMA: Soooo...convention and festival season is heating up again and I will keep you guys posted on where to find me! This week I am plugging the HORROR/SCIFI/ENTERTAINMENT Convention:
XANADU LAS VEGAS
