From IMDb:

"A college student, who accidentally killed his mother as a child, decides to take his friends to his father's fishing cabin during fall break, not knowing that his crazed father is stalking the place.

On the day of his father's birthday, the boy Ed decides to clean his father's hunting rifle and accidentally shoots and kills his mother that was baking a cake in the kitchen. His father Ed Sr. is mentally affected by the incident. Years later, Ed is in a bar with college friends and they do not know what to do in the holidays, since they have not reserved any place to go. Out of the blue, Ed receives a phone call from his estranged father that asks him to close his fishing house in an island since it is off season. His friends invite themselves to go with him and spend a couple of days on the beach. Ed drives to the island with his girlfriend Pam and the couples Ralph and Sue, and Mike and Linda. They find the house open and an ax missing, but do not report to the police. Further, there is anyone in the island but them. Soon a killer starts to kill them one by one and hang them in a locker in the house garage. Who might be the serial-killer?"

I was thrilled having the opportunity to share my works like Scarecrow at Midnight , Muticia's Movie Morgue or The Blind Eye Looks Within with our target audience.  As of this writing, I feel that I have taken the festival itself as far as it can go within the confines of the convention festival paradigm. The film festival wants to grow and get larger and deserves to be a more integral part of the convention itself, but that is just not a reality for c
