H.P. Lovecraft’s The Other Gods has been selected to play at this month’s Tromadance Film Festival, presented by Troma Entertainment.
As someone who has read and re-read Troma president Lloyd Kaufman’s books on filmmaking, it’s a thrill to be part of this festival devoted to the independent spirit.
The 8th Annual TromaDance Film Festival will be held from January 22nd to 27th 2007 in Park City, UT.
During my weekend in Portland for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival, I spoke to a few people who would be missing Sunday night, the night my short was playing. The last night of any film festival usually has less attendance, since many film-goers cut out for travel reasons or out of sheer exhaustion. I steeled myself for a “light” attendance that night.
Instead, the main theatre was mostly full as usual! Not sold out, but a respectable crowd of a few hundred. Now I had a new concern: could I avoid hyperventilating as the film played before so many sets of eyeballs?
Well, I survived. “The Other Gods” was received well. My colleagues all had incredibly supportive things to say.
Thanks to everyone at the festival for a great experience. I loved every minute of it, and I hope to attend next year.
Rochester composer Keith Handy has really outdone himself with his soundtrack for The Other Gods. As the producer, I wanted the feel of a classic silent film that later gave way to a more contemporary sound. Keith rose to the challenge and gave me an eerie mix of piano, synthesized sound, and distorted guitar for a truly shocking audio experience. Plus, he managed to get it done in record time!
We’ll be putting the entire short film online soon, but people can get a taste for the soundtrack right now by watching the trailer.

It’s official! After many delays, work on “The Other Gods” is now complete. Not only that, the film will be screening at the 2006 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland Oregon.
I received a “telegram” from the festival announcing the utter horror the projectionist suffered at having seen the film, which was a real nice touch. (Click the pic below for a close-up view.)
I’m quite thrilled, and will be attending the festival to represent the animated short and hobnob with other Hobb’s End lurkers.
See you in October!
