A shout-out to Andy Thompson

Andy Thompson, who co-produced and co-wrote The Provider, is now directing an interactive theatre adventure all over downtown Vancouver!

The 2-hour show starts in Yaletown but travels to different venues as the plot moves. The coolest thing about Andy’s show is that he puts you, as the audience, as the star of the show!

I am super proud of Andy Thompson for this upcoming play. In an interview with the Province, Andy said that he “got hooked” after his experience making The Provider, which won first prize in a North America-wide Bloodshots short contest.

With five daily shows from Oct 13 – 31, this is a show you definitely don’t want to miss out on!

Please help support Andy!

Tickets: $25/$35, call 604-235-1920, or go to thevirtualstage.org/zombies

THE PROVIDER goes to Boston, Massachusetts on September 15th for Etheria

“It’s been on my mind that while programming the Viscera Film Festival, I come across so many amazing short films directed by women that aren’t quite horror-y enough, or not horror at all, but that still have an amazing fantastical element to them. It makes me sad to have to forget about those films. So, in 2012, we decided not to.” – Heidi Honeycutt

It is a great honor that my short film THE PROVIDER is not only programmed on the Viscera Film Festival TOUR but to also be one of the first films to screen as part of the first ever Etheria Film Festival! Who knew a twisted post-apocalyptic alternate-history psychological thriller would do so well Not to mention it was made in 48 Hours!

The screening is not until September 15, 2012 so mark your calenders and let your Boston friends know!
