Congratulations To Vancouver Viscera Filmmakers

Last night’s screening of the 2012 Viscera Film Festival in Vancouver - and Curio Media’s inaugural event - was a resounding success, and the audience really appreciated “female response horror”.  

Many thanks go out to special guest host Fiona Forbes, the filmmakers who attended - Karen Lam and Lori Bowen, and our sponsors Super Channel and Pac Blue Printing.  We also send our thanks to The Rio Theatre for hosting the screening, and IRL Events for their help promoting and spreading the word.  

The films were judged by Bill Hurst, Telefilm Canada Executive, and Rachel Talalay, producer and director, amongst other films, of Freddy’s Dead and Tank Girl.

This is the beginning of something special, and Curio Media is proud to bring you Viscera Film Festival, and soon, even more genre short films, feature films and television series - created by women.  Their talent in horror filmmaking is understated and underestimated.  

As last night’s event proved, the films raise the bar for indie filmmakers and showcase the true potential for new voices and new visions.  This is what genre is meant to be.
