Calling All Fucking Cool Flicks to Las Vegas - It's Pollygrind Time!!

You can't think hookers without thinking Las Vegas. Well, you can but you would be lying to yourself. DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK made her fabulous Las Vegas premiere thanks to the wonderful people at the Pollygrind Film Festival who always supports the different, indie, and are fucking rad.

Now you and your flick can hit up in sin city with style as Pollygrind entries are wide open for submission. I am exceptionally proud of that last sentence.


POLLYGRIND 2012 - Call For Entries Video from theatre7 lv.com on Vimeo.

"PollyGrind 2012 promo featuring Jenny Hendrix, Monster Zero, Creepersin, The Bunny Game, Dead Hooker in a Trunk, Slime City Massacre, zombies, demons, angels and more! The PollyGrind Film Festival, which takes place every October in Las Vegas, has been called "the key festival for indie cult filmmakers to land distribution deals." The festival considers any and all independently produced works that are slightly off kilter, innovative, stylistic, edgy, bloody, sexy or cool. Top winners from the past include Slime City Massacre, Dead Hooker in a Trunk, The Bunny Game and Dear God No!"

I don't need to tell you that Vegas is a stupid cool place to be during Halloween time, but just in case, I totally hear that it is. Hit up the festival and see some cool flicks - and have a few dozen cocktails for me!

Kristian Rocking his Hooker T for Vegas!

Kristian J. Hanson is a wonderful writer. His werewolf comedic piece - FAT KID'S WOLFY REVENGE (Not for the Weak Hearted or Mature Minded) is something I have been looking forward to getting into. We had the opportunity to peek a little at it and had some genuine lols. Tried of sparkly vampires? Try this fiction on for supernatural teenage angst.


The gentleman also supports other independent artists as can be proudly demonstrated by what he wore on his last trip to Las Vegas. Very fucking cool.


Thank you, Kristian, for the book, the support, and being a rad guy (besides being a Blackhawk's fan, but no one's perfect).

The Violence And Gore Gets It's Recognition In Vegas!

DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK made her Las Vegas premiere at the Pollygrind Film Festival in 2010 and we were unbelievably honored to have been awarded 'Favorite Feature', 'Best Screenplay', and Everette Hartsoe's 'Bad Girl Award'.

As if that wasn't enough of a privilege, I just found out today that the Polished Apple Awards aka The Pollies were given out to nearly 30 films for their contributions and accomplishments.


Amongst the winners - check the whole rad list and article here - was a very flattering and incredibly generous award to DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK --



There was a huge focus on the film to have great gore and violence despite the modest budget. To have this recognized and appreciated means the world to us. We had an amazing group of people come together to selflessly make this movie look seriously cool in the realms of violence and gore. Thank you to everyone who checked out the film and dug what they saw.



Jen and I are total horror nerds and as young girls we based 'good horrors to watch' as films with high action and gore sequences, so it rocks that DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK (buy the DVD filled with rad extras here) would get a shout-out like this.


Thank you, you the rad people at Pollygrind, for bestowing this great title upon us! Thank you to Chad Clinton Freeman who first brought HOOKER to the Pollygrind - it made her smile. Every hooker loves Vegas and the Pollygrind Film Fest is just one more reason.

DHIAT TO PLAY AT POLLYGRIND IN VEGAS!

Dead Hooker in a Trunk' is finally going to the hometown of dead hookers found in trunks (or so CSI has told me) -- fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!

The Polly Staffle Grindhouse Fest is all about the darker side of cinema and the artists that bring those films to life. Their aim is to celebrate individuality, diversity, creativity and empowerment by showcasing the work of filmmakers with defiantly independent visions. The festival will consit of five days of programming in the tradition of grindhouse cinema with double features each day, bookended by trailers and music videos.

As beautifully put by Arrowinthehead.com, "If it's sleazy B-movie grindhouse, it's gotta be PollyGrind."

Have you ever been to Vegas? Us neither. This is a damn good reason to go, though. So, save that change, bust open that piggy bank, and come for the PollyGrind, stay for the hookers.
