Two Events for Competitive ‘Scream’ Documentaries
For those of you keeping tabs, there are a pair of Scream documentaries arriving this year.
The first, “Scream: The Inside Story” will air on A&E’s Bio 8pm ET/5pm PT on Wednesday, April 6th. Director Dan Farrands, and writer Thommy Hutson, will be joining Dread Central for a live chat-enabled commentary during the documentary’s television premiere.
On the other spectrum, Still Screaming: The Ultimate Scary Movie Retrospective, Ryan Turek’s feature-length documentary on the Scream trilogy, will be holding its world premiere at the Sunset 5 in Los Angeles on Thursday, April 14 at 10pm. You’re all invited.
“A lot of people involved in the series sat down for me to talk about the ups and downs of making the films, including Neve, Wes, Jamie, Arquette, Ehren Kruger, Parker Posey, etc. and I tossed in a few surprises,” says Turek. “This thing digs a bit into the series’ themes, the origins, the script problems, the conflicts with Dimension, the MPAA, the Santa Rosa school board and more.”
Inside you’ll find the official trailer debut, but if you want to be a guest at the world premiere all you have to do is RSVP to stillscreamingrsvp@gmail.com. Seating will be on a first come first serve basis, so even if you receive confirmation that you are on the list, make sure you get there early to secure your seat!
A job at a marijuana farm turns nightmarish in director Ariel Vida’s Trim Season, and Blue Harbor Entertainment has released the trailer just in time for 4/20 this weekend.
Trim Season will open in theaters and on demand June 7, 2024.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker and production designer Ariel Vida, Trim Season stars Bethlehem Million (Sick, “And Just Like That…”) as Emma, an adrift, jobless, 20-something seeking purpose. Along with a group of young people from Los Angeles, she drives up the coast to make quick cash trimming marijuana on a secluded farm in Northern California.
“Cut off from the rest of the world, they soon realize that Mona (Jane Badler) – the seemingly amiable owner of the estate – is harboring secrets darker than any of them could imagine. It becomes a race against time for Emma and her friends to escape the dense woods with their lives.”
The cast also includes “Scream” and Hell Fest‘s Bex Taylor-Klaus, Starry Eyes, “Midnight Mass” and Doctor Sleep‘s Alex Essoe, Ally Ioannides (Synchronic), Cory Hart (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Ryan Donowho, Marc Senter and Juliette Kenn De Balinthazy.
Michelle Swope wrote in her review that Trim Season is “a suspenseful, uniquely crafted story highlighting pain and sacrifice that should spark some powerful conversation around women and gender. Mesmerizing performances, an innovative story, beautiful stylistic choices, and a little bit of witchy weed make Trim Season a must-see horror film.”
Aaron B. Koontz of Paper Street Pictures and Sean E. DeMott of Execution Style Entertainment produced. Paul Holbrook of Hlbrk Ent. produces in addition to Badler on behalf of MeJane Productions. Leal Naim executive produces while Cameron Burns co-produces.
