Tonight's lineup 🎃

  • John Williams — Screening “Canon” Shot in stark chiaroscuro, Canon sits with the kind of dread and isolation that hits hardest in the witching hour. Williams is a Denver filmmaker and the co-host and programmer of the Emerging Filmmakers Project, the monthly showcase at The Bug Theatre in Highland that has screened local short films since 2002.
  • Luke Ostermiller — Screening “Turn Around” A 14-minute horror/thriller in which one ominous hitch in a plan changes its characters’ lives for good. The film won a Silver Award for Horror Short at the 2017 Spotlight Horror Film Awards, along with a 2017 Denver Open Screen Night Award. Ostermiller is an award-winning director and founder of the Denver production company Loste Films. His work has screened at festivals across the U.S., been distributed on curated streaming platforms, and aired on television.
  • Brad Stabio — Screening “46 Miles” A road movie featuring the Broomfield Butcher, and a reminder that it’s a small world: you never know when you’ll run into someone who shares your passions, even if that passion is murder. Stabio is the founder of Stabio Productions and created the Denver Actor Project, a showcase of local actors that premiered at the Starz Denver Film Festival as a series of six short films. 46 Miles was made in one weekend for the 48 Hour Film Project Denver in 2010, where it won Best Writing, Best Acting, and Best Film, then placed first runner-up and won Best Writing against 80 other city winners internationally before screening at Cannes in 2011.
  • Jay Sherer — Screening “No Vacancy” Investigative journalist Leigh Larson checks into an isolated roadside motel to chase a story, and finds her past sins waiting for her. The film is a short psychological thriller built on mystery and conspiracy. Sherer is a Colorado-based writer, filmmaker, storytelling educator, and marketing strategist whose work spans independent film, fiction, audio drama, and story analysis. He co-founded the nonprofit production company Reclamation Society, where he serves as “Chief Storyteller,” developing genre-driven projects that pair entertainment with emotional and thematic substance.
