PopHorror Let's Get Scared
This weekend, Scottsdale, AZ will be hopping with the A Night Of Misfit Film Festival, an indie film party being hosted by Dineta Williams-Trigg. Check out the press release below for more information!
Get ready for an Indie Film Party. On November 26th until November 28th, you’ll get to experience an unusual house party like no other, made up of filmmakers and movie lovers alike. It will be graciously hosted by Dineta Williams-Trigg, who is a well-respected filmmaker and actress and the founder of this third annual film festival soirée/wrap party for the local Arizona film community called A Night Of Misfit Film Festival. This year’s edition of Misfit Films promises to be another packed house of cinephiles watching the most original cinematic oddities and enjoying adult fun.
Dineta and co-director Gauthier Raad, a French-Lebanese filmmaker, will welcome attendees and guests into their festival home at High Octane Pictures, 9096 East Bahia Drive, Scottsdale, Arizona. A Night Of Misfit Film Festival grew out of a desire by Mrs. Williams-Trigg to celebrate diversity in the Arizona film industry, artistic talent and to bring people together to have a good time.
The aim of the festival is to create a safe space for true independent filmmakers that haven’t had the opportunity to have their work screened by audiences at other film festivals. A Night Of Misfit Film Festival features an eclectic array of short indie films you won’t find anywhere else. A Night Of Misfit Film Festival doesn’t play it safe like most film festivals; they take chances. It has become one of the most unique and one of kind of film festivals you’ll ever experience in the Valley.
Friday night will showcase horror and sci-fi films, Saturday night will play comedies and drama, and Sunday will play international shorts in collaboration with the worldwide independent film festival. During the finale, festival organizers will be awarding prizes to the best independent films in each category shown at the festival.
In producing the programming for the festival, the organizers wanted to include rare gems that don’t get much love in the film festival circuit. Often, these films are rejected because they lack recognizable stars or deal with subject matter that’s either unknown, taboo, or strange. A Night Of Misfit Film Festival will have filmmakers and talent represented from Arizona and across the world. There will be films that both make you laugh out loud, cringe in horror, tear up, jump out your seat and dance, arouse you, and inspire you. A few lucky filmmakers will win a Misfit Award, one of the most creative, crafted award prizes you’ll ever see.
