We had linked to a review of Karen Lam’s newest short film The Stolen on June 8 and it’s since been turned into a podcast review for Gruesome Herzog which you can listen to here.
Tonight at 7:30 EST, you can hear an interview with Karen on the CBC radio show Creating Fear hosted by Christy Ann Conlin, or you can listen to it on the CBC website by clicking here, the episode is called Creating Fear. (It appears to be region locked so if you’re outside of Canada, as I am, then oh well. :( — LB)
KJ Mullins, with newz4u.net, a Toronto-based news site, has posted about the Toronto screening of Karen Lam’s Stained and the Viscera Film Festival on May 15! (Curio Media co-founder AdaPia D’Errico is quoted in the article, too!) This screening, which will be held at the Projection Booth, is sponsored by Fangoria magazine and hosted by Lianne Spiderbaby and Kelly Michael Stewart and will feature Q&A with Karen Lam, Jovanka Vuckovic, Dara Jade Moats (Adventure Girls III), and fango editor Chris Alexander!
Click here for the Toronto line-up (with links to learn more about the films and filmmakers.) Stained plays first, at 6 pm, and the Viscera screening starts around 8 pm.
