Official Selection – Fantastic Fest 2007 Best Underground Film of the 2007 – b-independent.com Best Documentary – B-Movie Film Festival, Atlanta Horror Film Festival, Coney Island Film Fest, and Fargo Fantastic Film Fest “If you don’t have those three things, then your film is not going to be successful”. - Joe Ripple, director Blood, Boobs & Beast tells the compelling story of Don Dohler, whose movies have been called everything from oddly brilliant to some of the worst films of all time. Despite his critics, Dohler has gotten all 9 of his sci-fi and horror films distributed internationally, as well as TV syndication for his first film, The Alien Factor. Dohler has also inspired artists and filmmakers such as Robert Crumb (Fritz the Cat), J.J. Abrams (Creator of TV show Lost, and Cloverfield) and Art Speigelman (Maus) with his underground commix character ProJunior, and his DIY filmmaking magazine, Cinemagic. Mild-mannered and unassuming, Dohler started making wholesome sci-fi films in the Baltimore area in 1976, but recently began including nudity and gore in his movies to please distributors. At age 59 he’s just finished his most gratuitous movie to date and it’s selling well, yet Dohler feels “sick of the exploitative stuff” and is considering giving up the “blood, boobs and beast” formula. However, Dohler’s recent partner Joe Ripple disagrees and views these components as essential to gaining distribution. Since the pair’s filmmaking philosophies have begun to differ, it’s possible that their current film could be their last together.
Documentary/Feature/Featured
Official Selection – Slamdance Film Festival 2008 Society's obsession with celebrity culture has never been stronger than it is right now. The day-to-day business of celebrities has somehow come to replace "real news". Taking this into account makes I Think We're Alone Now that much more interesting. Jeff Turner is a 50-year-old man diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome from Santa Cruz, California who has attended Tiffany concerts since 1988. Kelly McCormick is a 35-year-old intersexed person from Denver, Colorado, who claims to have been friends with Tiffany as a teenager. She credits Tiffany as the shining star who has motivated her to do everything in her life. Both Jeff and Kelly have been labeled stalkers by the media and other Tiffany fans. This film takes you inside the lonely lives these two people, revealing the source of their clinging obsessions. Equal parts creepy and sympathetic, you won't see another film like I Think We're Alone Now all year. Sean Donnelly will be in attendance for a Q&A session.
