Bzzzline.com makes Bill Oberst, Jr. 1st featured artist

The new site bzzzline.com was developed to bring attention to up-and-coming artists who appear in somewhat obscure and maybe even scarcely seen movies and shows and bring them to the forefront where they deserve. Artist #1? None other than Dismal's own Bill Oberst, Jr.

Bill has long been known as the fabulously disturbing Dale in Fearmakers' swamp cannibal flick Dismal to the thrones of fans who have followed the film's progress from the first premiere at Horrorfind Weekend as it gathered up more fans via its run On Demand and airings on Showtime and The Movie Channel. Now out on DVD, a whole new world of fans has opened up to Bill Oberst, Jr. We always new he was good, now so does everyone else.

Bzzzline.com says, "[Bill's] ability to scare an audience makes him a rising star in the cult film scene, and he will definitely break through that glass ceiling soon." We think so too.

Check out Bill's kick ass performance in Fearmakers' Dismal on DVD now.

To Premiere Or Not To Premiere?

That's not really the question. The question is where to premiere. We've been invited back to Horrorfind Weekend by our friends there. It's a great place and a lot of supporters will be there again this year. The problem is they changed venues and the screening room is much smaller now. Last year we premiered Dismal there to a crowd between 4 and 5 hundred screaming, obnoxious, filthy, wonderful horror fans, and we still had room for more. This year the screening room holds less than 150. They offer an outdoor screening as well, but we'll be up against the Horrorfind favorite costume contest and Mother Nature. Both will probably whip our ass.

As you can see, immediately after last year's screening we were slammed with fans asking actors for their autographs. It was a good moment in Fearmakers history. Our goal is to repeat that performance with Savage.

We are looking in to other options as well. Other venues, bringing in some of the celebrity cast members from Savage, anything to pump up the fan interest and hopefully draw a few away from the costume contest, should we go back to Horrorfind. The gang is great there. They treat us right and Margot Kidder will be a celebrity guest as well. Don't act like you don't remember her from her big break in Death4Told. I'm sure she'll be THRILLED to see us show up and shove D4T DVDs in her face all weekend. Meez have a feeling security will be issuing a 500 ft. rule against us that weekend.

We will keep you posted as soon as we make our selection. Feel free to offer suggestions.
