Movie Theater Massacre (written and directed by Ian Courtney) has been added to this years Another Hole in The Head Film Festival. Movie Theater Massacre will screen as part of the Virtual portion of the festival. Here’s what they had to say about Movie Theater Massacre.

Jake, Wily, Rachel, Val, & Dan are employees at a movie theater. They enjoy working at an establishment that provides them the opportunity to discuss their favorite subject: movies. But the building’s owner, Harold, plans to sell off the property since movie going doesn’t seem profitable anymore. Random people start disappearing; while simultaneously, strange, and unexplainable things begin happening. Will they live to see another movie?

You can watch the film in the luxury of your own home for just $9.99. After this content becomes available December 1st at 4:00 am EST, you’ll have 14 days to start watching. Once you begin, you’ll have 48 hours to finish watching. Purchase here.

Voyag3r scored the finale scene of Movie Theater Massacre. The track, Slaughter Into Space was engineered, mixed and mastered by Steve Greene at the Battle Chamber Studio.

San Francisco’s Another Hole in the Head film Festival is a 25-day cinematic excursion into the realms of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and assorted other genre fare. Under the auspices of SF IndieFest, ‘AHITH’ has an 20-year tradition of pulling together diverse Independent films of all varieties and budgetary considerations–from major productions by professional companies to micro-budget labors of love, and everything in between. This year’s festival runs December 1st – December 25th, 2023 . The festival will take place live in San Francisco at the ROXIE, 4STAR , BALBOA and ECLECTIC BOX theaters. It will be available On-Demand via the Eventive platform, plus live online screenings with audience interaction and filmmaker Q&A on the Zoom platform.

With this festival, we seek broader horizons than the common interpretation of “genre film” allows. All styles of independent film are welcome to compete: whether it’s a major production from a professional company, a student film, or a micro-budget labor of love, we are committed to giving each film due consideration.

Voyag3r to score Killer Kabbage

by Press

Updated: September 7, 2023

Voyag3r has been tapped to score the upcoming sci-fi / comedy film, Killer Kabbage, produced by Drive-In Cinema Pictures and directed by Jude Reed and Michael A. Dotson. The films tagline from IMDB states. Two warriors, from the future, are tasked to go back in time to prevent the great Kabbage apocalypse from happening in order to save mankind.

killer-kabbage-one-sheet

Here’s an official statement from the Killer Kabbage Facebook page:

That is a WRAP on principal photography!!!

It’s been quite a journey. Fun, but sometimes stressful as well. A lot of talented people were involved with this passion project, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude. I came up with the concept of “Killer Kabbage” back in 2011, it started off as a short film but I’ve always wanted to revisit the idea with a new story and expand it into a feature. This morning, I sent the workprint to Voyag3r to begin the process of scoring the film, and we are beyond excited to see what these talented people whip up for us!

So, what’s next?

I’m still mixing the sound fx, we still need to do ADR on a few scenes, and a small handful of visual fx scenes are still work in progress. After everything is done and put together, we begin a new journey into the film festival circuit for the next year.

What started off as a fun idea grew into a feature length film with the help of a lot of people that kept one thing in mind: to have fun and make story that will entertain and make people laugh. And we hope we deliver.

– Mike

Voyag3r will be posting shots from the studio, as they record the score to Killer Kabbage, on the Photos page.

Get ready to dive into the depths of cinematic absurdity with the podcast that celebrates the best of the worst. How Did This Get Made. Join the dynamic trio of Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, and June Diane Raphael as they expertly dissect and hilariously roast some of the most mind-boggling movies ever made.

With a combined resume that includes hit shows like The League, Black Monday, Brooklyn 99, Grace & Frankie, and Long Shot, these hosts bring their comedic genius to every episode of How Did This Get Made. Together, with their funniest friends, they subject themselves to a cinematic nightmare, leaving no ridiculous plot twist or cringe-worthy dialogue unturned.

How Did This Get Made? (HDTGM) is a podcast on the Earwolf network. It is hosted by Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas with occasional substitutes and/or guest hosts. Each episode features the deconstruction and mockery of outlandish and bad films.

The hosts and guest make jokes about the films as well as attempt to unscramble plots. After discussing the film, Scheer reads “second opinions” in the form of five-star reviews posted online by Amazon.com users. The hosts also often make recommendations on if the film is worth watching. The show is released every two weeks. Listen here!
