In celebration of the BLACKOUT World Premiere at Fantasia Fest 2023,
Fessenden appears in interviews on YouTube: Infamous Horror, Mystic Severe Radio, SKM.

BLACKOUT now in festivals!

GEP pal Ron Perlman has been talking truth to power during the recent WGA and SAG strikes. But it’s nothing new. In 2017 Ron talked with Fessenden about becoming more vocal later in life.

From the catalogue:

Everyone has a world-changing invention in them. Enter… THE CRUMB CATCHER! A revolutionary device that will never allow your dinner conversation to sour due to a waiter’s interruptions… Or so claims the inventor, John (John Speredakos), an over-eager server who knocks at the door of newlyweds Shane (Rigo Garay) and Leah (Ella Rae Peck) in the middle of the night.

Armed with his proprietary and precious design and with his surly wife Rose (Lorraine Farris) by his side, John insists that the couple hear his pitch. Things are already tense between rich girl Leah, a rising star in publishing, and aspiring writer Shane, and they’re only made worse as the interruption quickly escalates in intensity.

Co-written by its star Rigo Garay, director Chris Skotchdopole, and producer Larry Fessenden, CRUMB CATCHER is a chamber piece that melds extreme anxiety with the worst salesmanship imaginable. Every single character is hilariously despicable in their own way, and each motivated by selfishness and ego.

Operating at a high level of cringe from scene to scene, CRUMB CATCHER leads us down a road of lies and betrayal, culminating in the film’s hilariously bleak final act. (ANNA BOGUTSKAYA)

OPENING NIGHT, August 10: Fessenden with THE SHARK IS BROKEN co-writer and star Ian Shaw, son of the late great Robert Shaw, along with one of the show’s Tony-winning producers Richard Batchelder. Featuring boistreous performances by the three leads, THE SHARK IS BROKEN is a meditation on acting, fame, fathers and sons, art vs. commerce, and the legacy of JAWS.

A LYRICAL, MOVING COMEDY-DRAMA.
THE TENSION, HUMOR, DEPTH, SILLINESS AND HORROR COME LIKE WAVES.”

In What Doesn’t Float, New Yorkers are at the end of their ropes. 

Pauline Chalamet has left the gilded halls of fictional Essex Collage in Sex Lives of College Girls for a hot-pavement, gritty New York City in her upcoming film What Doesn’t Float, which is out this fall from Gummy Films, the production company she started with Rachel Walden (who recently worked on A24’s Funny Pages), and Luca Balser. It will be the first project from Chalamet and Walden. Balser, who worked on Uncut Gems, is directing.

…

The film also stars Chalamet (who we see aboard the back of said motorcycle), along with genre filmmaker/actor Larry Fessenden, Keith Poulson, and others. Funny Page’s Hunter Zimmy and Sean Price Williams are directors of photography.

…

What Doesn’t Float is is out in New York City on September 22 and elsewhere October 6, from Circle Collective, an offshoot of Utopia, who released Emma Seligman and Rachel Sennott’s cult favorite, career-launching Shiva Baby.
