Run Time: 70 min. Rating: N/A
Join our guest, director Mark Borchardt, for a mini retrospective of his work followed by a discussion and Q&A.
Mark Borchardt presents his newest offering, The Dundee Project, a delirious trip through the mysteries of ufology and the denizens of an annual event exploring this wondrous possibility — held in the small Wisconsin hamlet of Dundee — who root for their existence. Thrill to the glorious bombasity of “UFO Bob” and like-minded cohorts, as they expound upon all things byzantine as the camera roams the surrounding land and its infinite beauty.
It’s the twenty year mark for the infamous cult film Coven. Mark will be on hand to answer any and all questions about that underground epic and anything else that piques the infinite curiosity of the enthusiastic audience.
Switch gears and take an easy breath as you briefly dip into the world of wintry poetry with Winter Minds.
And Mark presents an extended trailer from his newest horror film, Scare Me. Many years in the making and a few more to go, be on hand as you get a sneak peek at his latest, intriguing offering.
