In the Spring of 2000, Rachel executive produced and produced the multiple award winning women in racing documentary FAST WOMEN. It aired nationally in October 2001 on Canada’s WTN (Women’s Television Network) and in the U.S. on Women’s Entertainment (WE) in November 2001. In addition to producing Rachel has served as a sales agent at the AFM and Cannes Markets. Projects in development include the thriller WHEN THE DEAD WHISPER. Stan Winston Partner Winner of 4 Academy Awards and nominated for 10 total, Stan Winston, the “Master” of special effects has partnered up with Screamfest LA in ‘04 to make this year our best ever. Some of Stan’s movies include: “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”, “Jurassic Park”, “Aliens”, “Batman Returns”, “Artificial Intelligence” and “Predator”, just to name a few. The knowledge and experience Stan brings to the table for Los Angeles’ top horror film festival will only enhance the platform created to launch the latest films produced for this genre. Brad Miska Marketing and Promotions Manager The horror genre entered Brad Miska’s veins the second he watched Don Mancini’s Child’s Play back in 1988, and since then has become a major horror fanatic. In 2000, he co-founded the horror website BloodyDisgusting.com, which is now recognized as one of the elite sources for all things horror related in the Nation. In 2003, he co-founded FreezeDriedMovies.com, which is a website designed to promote all genres of film. Continuing on the popularity of Bloody-Disgusting, Brad Miska co-founded MobileNightmare.com in 2006, which is the first ever mobile horror network. Being that the horror genre is such a major part of his life it only made sense for him to bring his knowledge and internet expertise to Screamfest to help take their presence to an even higher level.

The living nightmare deepens as Jenny, Nick and Tina try to escape the house but are transported back inside the moment they step out. The spirits pit the students against each other as we discover the dark secrets of their pasts. The boundary between the real world and the afterlife are no longer clear and as time runs out, they must find a way to escape and avoid being trapped with the spirits forever. In this epic comedy, several bands of political hopefuls race for sociological power in a bizarre and deadly post apocalyptic America. The events that follow will bring about the birth of a New America, create its earliest heroes, it’s earliest villains and change the face of the world forever. Philip, Konrad, and Weener are terminally unpopular at Fredrich Nietzsche High School. One night after an ineptly executed voodoo ritual, theyíre involved in a horrible car accident. They awaken in the morgue as the living dead and soon learn that death has its advantages. “Fingerprints” is based on the widely publicized urban legend that, to this day, remains a mystery. Fifty years ago, in a small Texas town, a school bus filled with children was hit by a train, killing everyone on board. The legend says that if a car is put in neutral on the railroad tracks, the GHOSTS of the dead children will push the car off the tracks, leaving only their tiny fingerprints behind. The movie centers on a troubled teenager, Melanie Wood, who moves to the small town and discovers that everything is not as it seems. When locals start to disappear, Melanie becomes a suspect and must find out the truth behind the legend before she becomes its latest victim.
