PHILADELPHIA UNNAMED FILM FESTIVAL 3 - #PUFF3 - NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS!




Are you a filmmaker with a passion for genre (Horror/sci-fi/fantasy/etc) who yearns to show their work to an audience that will appreciate your experimental, if not deranged sensibilities? Or, are you simply a film lover who wants to bear witness to the most insane up-and-coming talents the crazier corners the indie film world have to offer? Then you need to check out the PHILADELPHIA UNNAMED FILM FESTIVAL or PUFF for short.

The fest, founded by Alex Gardner and Madeleine Koestner (The latter of whom this writer happens to know personally as a fellow FANGORIA contributor), is entering its third year, and is now accepting for micro-shorts, short films, and feature-length films! You can submit to PUFF3 via submissions services such as Withoutabox, FilmFreeway, and FilmFestivalLife. For those looking to attend, the festival is scheduled to take place from September 6th through September 9th, 2018.


Though still relatively young, PUFF has already proven to be a launching pad for notable underground films like the critical darling TRAGEDY GIRLS. And since February is Women In Horror Month, I feel I would be remiss if I didn't point out that the good people behind PUFF are particularly interested in submissions from women and/or PoC (though all can and should apply).

PUFF also continues to host regular genre film screening year round at the South Street Cinema in Philly, and is also going to be hosting a found footage horror festival called the UNNAMED FOOTAGE FESTIVAL at the Historic Balboa Theatre in San Francisco, CA from March 24th - 25th, 2018, so all of you West Coast horror fans should keep your eyes peeled for that.

TRACK REVIEW: PET WIFE - BAD WAY

 TRACK REVIEW: PET WIFE - BAD WAY by Chris La Vigna ( @chrislavigna.bsky.social) Once again I am dusting off the blog to conjure up some words about some cool music that I feel that you need to check out.  Life has been an absolute chaotic psychic minefield as of late, and if you're like me, you're grasping for any piece of art to get you through the day, let alone the next four years or so. With that in mind: folks, it is my supreme pleasure to report to you that Brooklyn's PET Wife is back at it again with some more electro-pop realness. As if releasing their excellent album foam set this past spring wasn’t enough for us, their latest single, “ BAD WAY ” dropped in early October, and it has come to work its way to the top of all of your future Halloween/ Year-round Darksynth playlists, especially if you’re trying to organize your own D.I.Y. version of the blood rave sequence in Blade . It's a dark and dirty song, fast and ferocious, clocking in at one minute and fifty...

TRACK REVIEW: MAINTENANCE - "LOW LIFE"

TRACK REVIEW:  MAINTENANCE - "LOW LIFE" by Chris La Vigna ( @instant_insanity_productions ) "Alright, who's been putting 'shrooms in the dog food again?"                           It's been quite some time since I've felt compelled to post anything on this blog. Life comes at you fast, y'know? I suspect the fellas in Maintenance, who in my opinion are one of the most consistently interesting bands in the 914 music scene, would agree with that particular truism.  Though the band has been playing plenty of gigs over the last year or so, they have been largely quiet when it comes to dropping new music.  It's more than understandable when you consider just how deep of an impact the Covid-19 pandemic has had on not only the local music scene, but musicians and venues across the country. We've all had to adjust, re-organize, and re-prioritize what we've been doing with ourselves in some way or another. A...

You Should Be Watching YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL

You Should Be Watching YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL By Chris La Vigna ( @Chris_LaVigna) Slacker demon Gary Bunda (Henry Zebrowski) and his co-worker Ben (Ben Bladon) are doin' a Party Hole thang. You wouldn't understand. Life is Hell, right? That’s a sentiment we can all generally get behind, especially when it comes to our jobs, which seem to consume the majority of our existence on Earth. Well, what if the afterlife proved to be just as monotonous, mind-numbing, and (literally) soul crushing as your office job, with all those co-workers you hate and that supervisor that pisses all over you? That’s the premise of the Adult Swim show YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL, a workplace comedy about demons working in the pits of Hades, taking Satan’s orders to get more souls. The show wrapped its fourth season in early 2019, and in the interest of promoting it to get it some more eyeballs and possibly help secure a fifth season, allow me to dive into all the...
