Synopsis

Coulrophobia is a 10 minute, action-packed, dark comedy. A horror film gone wrong. A man wakes up in a strange hotel room, disoriented and haunted from his recurring nightmare of a childhood accident with a circus toy. He stumbles outside and into a fevered chase with a terrifying female clown. Escaping through the hotel bar full of circus clowns, through the woods, and into a wild skateboard chase, this is his waking nightmare. Finally caught in a roadside dumpster, flashbacks and a few unexpected twists reveal the truth and put Coulrophobia in a genre of its own!

Hello Fans! Today's submissions are exciting indeed! Starting at home, where most of the movie was shot (albeit guerilla style), we've gone for the "Home Grown Short" category at the Garden State Film Festival. This one happens in Asbury Park, NJ - one of my favorite places in the world. So let's hope for a warm reception from the Jersey Kids. Other submissions inlcude the Cinequest Film Festival, where we've gone in under the "Emering Mavericks" category. We also went in for the Boston Undergorund Film Festival, the capitol of the Northeast and home of my alma matter, Emerson College. And finally, our submission was made to Aspen Shortfest. How's your Aspen?
