Patrick Bromley over at Daily Dead just wrote a review of THE LARRY FESSENDEN COLLECTION.

“If ever there was to be a Mt. Rushmore of modern horror, there’s no question that the face of Larry Fessenden would get prominent placement. One of the patron saints of indie horror, Fessenden is a true auteur and a true original whose incredible career is now being celebrated with the Scream Factory release of The Larry Fessenden Collection, containing four of his films and hours of bonus features that help illuminate just what a vital voice Fessenden has been in the genre for more than three decades. This is one of the best horror releases of the year … Scream Factory has done such great work with The Larry Fessenden Collection that it’s one of those rare cases where the supplemental content is every bit as good as the film(s) it’s supporting.”

Read on for the full review. 

The suspiciously named new feature from Fango (The Cutting Room?????!) presents an archived interview with McQuaid and Fessenden.

“For Season 3, the collaborators who joined us have been very big and as much as I love the challenge of writing these stories under the gun, it’s been equally refreshing to seduce others into TALES. So we have some old collaborators, some new collaborators as well…”

Fessenden cited as an artist engaged in the Global Warming discussion (yes, ahem, since back in 1990 with LOW IMPACT FILMMAKING and later in 2005 with THE LAST WINTER). Also cited, GEP pal Heather Woodbury (HOLLOW VENUS) whose ferocious epic multi-character performance piece / podcast AS THE GLOBE WARMS is not to be missed.

From the article in CAPITAL & MAIN by Judith Lewis Mernit:

Bad enough that the climate is changing and humans are causing it; worse, most of us don’t even want to talk about it.

“Where are the books? The poems? The plays? The goddamn operas?” asked author and climate activist Bill McKibben a decade ago on Grist, comparing the climate crisis to the AIDS epidemic, which, McKibben noted, produced “a staggering outpouring of art that, in turn, has had real political effect.”

To be fair, that has started to change: Authors such as Paolo Bacigalupi (The Water Knife) and filmmaker Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter) have begun to address environmental catastrophe in their works. 

…

There are even occasional podcasts by story performer Heather Woodbury that will conclude during the festival’s two weeks.
