HORRORS!
SCARY IFP MINNESOTA SCREENWRITING CONFERENCE SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 4
The 4th Annual IFP Minnesota Screenwriting Conference will be
presented on Saturday, November 4, 2006 in partnership with
Minneapolis Community and Technical College at MCTC's Wheelock
Whitney Hall. This year's topic is horror/thriller/suspense writing
and will feature Lance Weiler, Writer/Director of the new horror film
Head Trauma*, which has received rave reviews since its world
premiere at the prestigious Los Angeles Film Festival in July. Alain
Silver, writer/director/producer and author of the books Horror Film
Reader and The Vampire Film, along with local filmmakers Jon Springer
and Ryan Schaddelee, are also scheduled for the conference, with
other guests TBA.
DATE: Saturday, November 4
PLACE: Minneapolis Community & Technical College
TIME: 9am-4:30pm
PRICE: $50 general public / $40 IFP members / $30 students & seniors
(Add $10 if you wish to have lunch)
HITCHCOCK TRIBUTE - AN EARLY "THE BIRDS" SPECIAL: RECEIVE $5 OFF IF
YOU REGISTER BY OCTOBER 25!
*Head Trauma (headtraumamovie.com) will be screened on the Friday
evening before the conference (location TBA) with free admission for
all pre-registered conference attendees. Seriously creepy and deeply
unnerving, Head Trauma explores the uneasy difference between being
psychotic and paranoid and actually having someone - or something -
out to get you. When drifter George Walker returns to his deceased
grandmother's abandoned house, he must not only face down unwelcoming
neighbors, but something far worse, something in the basement,
something all the more terrifying because it knows George's deepest
secret. Transposing much of the spooky imagery from the recent
Japanese horror explosion onto American small-town life, this is an
unsettling slice of indie horror.
Remember: just because you're paranoid doesn't mean we're not watching you.

IFP MN CONSULTATIONS: A NEW MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT
IFP MN staff regularly meets with members to discuss various aspects
of their projects. Topics include script, fundraising, marketing,
screenings, production, technical advice, business start-ups and
other angles unique to each project. These meetings are free and
open to IFP MN membership only. IFP MN members call the specific
staff person they wish to meet with and set up an appointment.
Meetings usually last one hour.
IFP MN staff has found that these meetings are generally very useful
for the filmmaker or photographer. Especially in terms of steps or
directions to take a project to the next level. There are times,
however, when IFP MN staff are stymied along with the person they are
trying to assist. It is for these occasions that IFP MN has
developed a new program, "IFP MN Consultations."
Here's how it works:
A fee for service, IFP MN members can have exclusive access to a
consultant in the area that assistance is needed. IFP MN currently
