SUMMARY:Steve Rudzinski's CarousHELL Trilogy
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nPittsburgh City Paper’s “Best Filmmaker” of 2023\, Steve Rudzinski\, will screen his indie horror sensation\, CarousHELL Trilogy\, at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center’s next Emerging Filmmakers Showcase\, Thursday\, May 16 at 7 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRudzinski\, of Coraopolis\, has garnered numerous awards from the indie horror community\, including a Lifetime Achievement Award for directing from Grossfest\, a horror convention; Best Feature Film of 2021 at the LA Indie Horror Fest\, and the 2023 Fangoria Chainsaw Award. His work is also a hit in Prague\, where a theater licensed the first CarousHELL film for six months of theatrical screening\, and found fan reaction so positive that it has also licensed parts 2 and 3. \n\n\n\nEmerging Filmmakers Showcase events\, a staple at The Lindsay\, were developed to accelerate filmmakers’ exposure and encourage exchanges between local artists and the public. \n\n\n\nDescribed as “equal parts hilarious\, heartwarming and bloody\,” the CarousHELL Trilogy—the story of a sentient carousel unicorn trying to raise his half-human son—will be screening in its entirety for the first time in the U.S.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRudzinski\, a horror fan since seeing Nightmare on Elm Street at age 3\, says he hopes to inspire younger creatives who are considering a career in filmmaking. “It really is possible to make movies yourself and get them into the public eye!” \n\n\n\nRudzinski serves as writer\, director and co-producer of the trilogy. Other regional cast and crew members include co-writer and co-producer Aleen Isley\, also of Coraopolis; director of photography and editor Scott Lewis of Mount Oliver; SFX designer Cody Ruch of Emsworth; and South Fayette Township native Rob Steinbock\, producer/co-producer of the first film. \n\n\n\nTotal running time is 220 minutes and includes brief intermissions between films. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Rudzinski and others involved in the project.  \n\n\n\nBig Spring Spirits\, a community-centric craft distillery based in Bellefonte\, Pa.\, will also be on hand with “CarousHELL-inspired” signature cocktails available for purchase. \n\n\n\nWhile the event is free\, RSVPs are requested to ensure seating for all.

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Moving Picture Festival: Double Feature Competitions & Dawn of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:Double Feature Tickets\n\n\n\nDawn of the Dead Tickets\n\n\n\n\nA 45th anniversary screening of George Romero’s classic zombie film Dawn of the Dead\, along with the Double Feature: Trailer Bash and Raging Pages trailer and screenplay competitions\, will highlight the Pittsburgh Moving Picture Festival\, set for Sunday\, May 19\, at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center. \n\n\n\nA celebration of the art of cinema and the region’s rich motion picture tradition\, the event also includes a Q&A with actors from Dawn of the Dead\, filmed at the Monroeville Mall and considered one of the most influential horror films of all time.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe afternoon begins at 12:30 p.m. with the Double Feature trailer and screenplay competitions\, a curated program of Official Selections of coming attractions\, all of which are eligible to earn one of the premiere trailer trophies on the festival circuit—the “Tabby”—for Best Editing\, Best Cinematography\, Best Score\, overall Best Trailer and the Audience Favorite award! \n\n\n\nThis event is free to the public but reservations are requested to ensure seating for all. \n\n\n\nThen\, at 1:30 p.m.\, in collaboration with the George A. Romero Foundation’s “Romero Lives!” series\, the festival continues with a 30-min. Q&A with Dawn of the Dead actors Melissa Dunlap (“Airport Zombie Kid”)\, Bob Michelucci (“Scope Zombie”) and “Blond Zombie” Jeannie Jeffries\, in a rare public appearance\, hosted by fellow “zombie talent” veteran and director/producer Mike Ancas (Day of the Dead\, Chasing Zombies). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the Q&A\, at 2 p.m.\, watch Dawn of the Dead as it was intended to be seen: on the big screen. Romero’s gut-chomping\, genre-defining sequel to Night of the Living Dead premiered April 12\, 1979 at the Gateway Theater in downtown Pittsburgh and is rarely seen on movie screens. The plot follows two Philadelphia S.W.A.T. team members\, a traffic reporter\, and his television executive girlfriend seek refuge from a zombie epidemic in a secluded shopping mall  \n\n\n\nThe late critic Roger Ebert gave the movie four out of four stars and proclaimed it one of the best horror films ever made. Empire named it one of the 500 Greatest Movies of all Time in a 2008 survey. \n\n\n\nThe film also launched the career of makeup and special effects artist Tom Savini\, a Pittsburgh native who went on to work on classic horror films such as Friday the 13th parts 1 and 4\, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
