With submissions ranging from countries like Italy and Nepal to as short as several minutes to feature length films, every aspect of storytelling has been covered within the 2015 Soho International Film Festival . It only seems fitting that the festival wraps up its sixth annual festival with a number of prominent presenters including The Avengers’ Robert Clohessy and Rescue Me’s James McCaffrey. With awards given to the best of the best at the festival, it was a great close to another successful year for the festival.
There was an even greater presence among the jurors of the festival, with people have worked as actors on shows like Dexter to writers and directors having worked on films like On Golden Years. The jurors included Emmy Award nominee journalist and educator Ernabel Demillo, or ABC Network Casting Head Marci Phillips. David Zayas, an actor on Gotham and Donna McKenna, a casting director and producer,...

Interview and feature by Michael Lizarraga.
From torturous, crude surgeons to urban legends of the Black Eyed Kids, Screamfest 2015 yet again un-vaulted a flurry of diabolic short horror films at its recent 15th annual fright festival in Hollywood, California. But if there was one piece of work that teemed with terror amongst this mausoleum of madness, it was Gabriel Olson‘s 14-minute film The Bridge Partner.
Unlike other shorts presented, The Bridge Partner relies on mannerism and emotion rather than conventional gore and guts to bring about squirms, a true “classroom” for today’s young filmmaker in tapping into the more psychological approach to horror that has given rise to such padded-cell classics as Psycho, Silence Of The Lambs, and Misery.
Selected by Wes Craven himself as the winner of Wes Craven Best Horror Film at Catalina Film Festival (shortly before the legendary filmmaker’s passing) and screened at over 20 festivals worldwide,...
