Get pumped for a spooktacular night with REEL Creatures, where thrills and laughs await alongside the masterminds behind the films!

Kicking things off is the short film STORAGE ROOM B, followed by a lively chat with director Scott Dion Brown. Imagine two co-workers stuck at the office while a zombie apocalypse rages outside—talk about a work-day fantasy gone wrong!

Then settle-in for the feature CULT HERO, and stick around for a Film Talk with director Jesse Thomas Cook and the star of the show, Liv Collins! Watch as control-freak Kallie tries to save her hubby from an Owen Sound "wellness center," by teaming up with a washed-up Cult Buster—because who doesn't love a good rescue mission with a side of chaos?

This year's REEL Creatures is swinging into action at THE CLAYMORE PUB & TABLE, where our fabulous hosts Brian and Stephanie are whipping up a tasty pay-as-you-go menu. How about some popcorn and a pint to get the fun rolling? 😉

STORAGE ROOM B snagged 2nd runner-up for the Film Forward Award at the 2023 Eye2Eye Film Festival and has been a star at many short film and horror festivals since! We can't wait to sit down with Scott and grill him about why he set his film in just one room and why he used only a single camera angle!

CULT HERO hails from the creative minds at Collingwood Film Company, founded by Jessie and Liv back in 2018. They're cranking out fabulous genre films with a killer ensemble cast. We’ll chat with Jesse (Writer, Director, and Producer) and Liv (Writer, Actor, and Producer) about the film, the ups and downs of financing, and their impressive filming-model which takes place entirely in their regional location and averages a release a year. 

If you're a horror junkie, a wannabe filmmaker or just someone who loves listening to Filmmakers break it down, REEL Creatures is for you!

REEL Creatures is proudly supported by FAN - Film Access Northumberland, bringing films and filmmakers together to inspire and delight!
