A BUSY SEPTEMBER

Another 2 festivals to tell you about. The Arizona Underground Film Festival in Tucson, AZ is considered one of the biggest underground film festivals in the US. BROKEN will screen on Tuesday September 22 at 7:30pm. At the same time is the Diabolique International Film Festival which is presented by Diabolique Magazine, the fastest growing publication dedicated to genre cinema. Diabolique takes place Sept. 25 - 27 in Bloomington, Indiana. My love for the horror genre is no secret and I am very excited about being part of these events.

PROFILE

It’s always nice when someone wants to know more about who we are, what makes us tick, what made us this way. Let’s face it, if we didn’t like talking about ourselves, twitter would never have become popular. So when I approached  Canadian Animation website to help promote BROKEN, I was more than happy to answer their questions. A special thanks to Grayden Laing for the opportunity.
