Actually, it turns out there's a great reason to go to this college town south of Indianapolis in August. It's the first annual B-movie celebration, with films so bad they belong in the so-bad-they're good category, like The Terror of Tiny Town and Plan Nine from Outer Space.
August 17th thru 19th, The Indy Film Co-op (indyfilmco-op.org) will be hosting The B Movie Celebration. During the Celebration they will screen Fifty B Classics, have a tribute to Troma Studios founder, Lloyd Kaufman, a retrospective of the films of prolific B Director, Jim Wynorski. The Indy Film Co-op, the hosts of the festival, will also screen ten soon to be classic B films from current B filmmakers.
There will be over 20 educational seminars along with Director Bobby Logan’s 1 Day Film School. The Celebration will start with a bang with a B Movie Gala to be held at The Johnson County Museum of History.
In attendance will be B movie legends like Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Studios, Special Effects Wizard Tom Savini, Cult Director Jim Wynorski, and Host of Cinema Insomnia Mr. Lobo. Also appearing will be original Plan Nine from Outer Space cast member Conrad Brooks. The Master of Ceremonies for the entire event will be Brownsburg’s own Steve “Papaw” Pyatte.
