After much demand, ‘Best Worst Movie’ will be having its Los Angeles premiere as part of the highly prestigious AFI FEST! We couldn’t be more excited! AFI has programmed the film in two categories, the first being in Alt. Cinema:
“Cinema is in a process of redefinition, as the medium shape-shifts and explodes in front of our eyes. This is not an ‘after dark’ section, or a ‘midnight’ section: It instead presents a series of challenges, excitements and even provocations.”
The second is as part of AFI FEST’s special 2009 Halloween Programming:
“Rollicking cult movie worship and Ozploitation lead the way in our celebration of Halloween at AFI FEST this year,” added AFI FEST Senior Programmer Lane Kneedler. “We are thrilled to be embracing fringe filmmaking and alternative cinema once again as core components of our festival. When audiences come to Hollywood and Highland on Saturday night, we will deliver an unforgettable Halloween experience.”
The film will be playing at the legendary Mann’s Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd. & Highland Ave. in Hollywood, home of the 2009 AFI FEST.
We are SO excited, in fact, that virtually ALL of the cast & crew will be in attendance! Expect to see director Michael Paul Stephenson, subjects George Hardy, Darren Ewing and Jason Steadman, directors of photography Carl Indriago and Katie Graham, editor Andrew Matthews, composer Bobby Tahouri, the producers, and many more to be announced! This will surely be a Halloween to remember!
Advanced comp tickets are sadly no longer available, but there will be a rush standby line, and you can always purchase an AFI FEST Patron Pass to ensure your attendance. We hope to see you there!
