NEW RESTORATION!
Rufus Butler Seder's SCREAMPLAY
9/25-10/1
When a screenwriter channels his frustrations with his kooky neighbors into fodder for his latest script, his murder scenes start to happen for real. SCREAMPLAY is a marvel of campy charm, gothic horror tropes, & inventive set design & SFX.

As always, shout out to @schlockvalue.bsky.social & @muscledistribution.bsky.social for bringing this gem to the world. A goofy little movie that I find kind of overwhelmingly sweet in how much it involves Doris incorporating her past, capturing a specific era of Miami Dade, and just having fun.

Truly lucky to see DRINKING AND DRIVING tonight as the final screening for @muscledistribution.bsky.social's inaugural Musclefest. Even luckier to catch the Q&A afterwards by Jack Haven with directors Avalon Fast and Jillian Frank. I am not prone to hyperbole with film: this one is brilliant. A gem.

over and above the usual boosterism: Do you know how insane it is that they’ll be screening a t4t porn showcase at a four-star hotel in Manhattan. Girls used to pray for times like this

Only one hour left to support this great preservation initiative. I saw an old copy of the soundtrack in a vinyl bin this weekend, this movie deserves more love!
THERE’S ONLY 24 HOURS LEFT. Our Kickstarter campaign ends tomorrow — there’s not much time left to help us reach our stretch goal so that we can strike a brand new 35mm print of PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN.
