Chicago – In founding and being an artistic director of a theater company for over 30 years, Richard Cotovsky of Mary-Arrchie Co. has a few stories to tell. In Part Two of an interview with the “Godfather of Chicago Storefront Theater” Cotovsky talks about the annual Abbie Hoffman Died for our Sins Festival, and the various acts of producing memorable stage productions.
Rich Cotovsky is a lifelong Chicagoan, growing up and currently living in the Rogers Park neighborhood. He was a founding member of Mary-Arrchie Co. – an amalgamation of parent’s names from one of his early acting students – and has served as its Artistic Director since it began in 1986. His award-winning theatre company has served up gritty and memorable productions for 30 years, but their current show, “American Buffalo” – which features Cotovsky in a lead role – will be their final show.

The first annual Bloodfest Fantastique genre film festival — which recently wrapped in Melbourne, Australia and was organized by the good folks of the Melbourne Underground Film Festival — has given out a slew of awards to films, filmmakers and actors. The big winner of the fest? The Sydney-based horror flick The Tunnel, directed by Carlo Ledesma.
The Tunnel took home three awards, including Best Film. Becoming a festival favorite is an especially interesting feat for a film that has eschewed the traditional distribution route and is already available for free online for anybody to view who wants to BitTorrent it through a deal with Paramount Pictures. The film also won Best Cinematography for the work of co-d.P.s Shing Fung Cheung and Steve Davis; while Davis also shared the Best Supporting Actor award with Michael Rooker, who appeared in Penance.
Amother big winner was Bloodfest’s Opening Night film Come and Get Me.

Family Demons is a Saylavee horror production that will be released in North America through Ifm Films. Rich in family dysfunction, violence and abuse Family Demons has qualities similar to Greek tragedy. In the film Billie (Cassandra Kane) plays the heroine who has a tragic fall due to her philia or love for her mother. Her fall is caused by her philia and a curse that haunts others in her family (mental disorder).
The film is centrally about Billie and the abuse she experiences at the hands of her mother (Kerry Reid). Her abuse continues a cycle of mental illness that actress Kerry Reid brilliantly shows in her alcoholism and neglect for her young daughter. The mother is haunted by her own demons, but it is Billie's failing attempts to reconcile with her mother that drives the show.

Family Demons: The Ghost as Domestic Inheritance by Donna McRae
Low cinematic genres – (as Clover, Williams and Robin Wood and others) have often pointed out – often handle explosive social material that mainstream cinema is reluctant to touch. — Joan Hawkins (1)
Can you make a film about the aftermath of incest and child abuse and its effect on three generations of women in the same family? Would this film contain an inherited ghost running through the narrative that could represent repressed feelings of colonial guilt on another level? Could this film prick the conscience of a nation that might be shuddering in silence for all its past sins? Would you get funding for this film from an Australian funding agency if you didn't have a track record? Would this very serious film fill cinemas, especially Australian ones? Could you get international profile actors to star in your film? Or would Australian film actors like Gracie Otto,...

According to its own press kit, Family Demons is "a psychological horror film about an abused teenage girl who murders her alcoholic mother and is horrified to discover that the mother's vengeful spirit returns to haunt her. Even in death, the mother is hell bent on denying her daughter's freedom."
Shot on location in Adelaide, South Australia, writer/director Ursula Dabrowsky cites The Sixth Sense, Carrie, Ju-on (The Grudge) and Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre among her influences on Family Demons. Never merely re-shooting scenes from popular films, Dabrowsky has used her influences to create a film that is at times atmospheric, kinetic, haunting and visceral.
Rather than slicing through the typical cast of characters, Dabrowsky takes the time to establish each character and their relationship with Billie (played by Cassandra Kane). Billie is in her late teens, and is constantly reminded by her alcoholic mother (played by Kerry Reid...
