A Yak with Dak
Dak uses the Upfront space to plug alternative/independent comics, whilst also going out of his way to say Comics Interview strives to include them. Personally, I feel he is selling himself short in that regard. In the eight issues I have looked at so far, I feel the alternatives/indies have had decent representation. Look at #6 you had Berke Breathed talking Bloom County right alongside huge fanboy porn in the shape of Jla vs The Avengers! Comico was featured last time out, and the comics of First have been featured. It would be interesting to see how the early days of those two, their success and...

Come and Get Me, directed by Chris Sun, is an Australian horror movie about a quartet of pretty young women who inadvertently hook up with a trio of serial killers for a night of torturous “kill or be killed” action.
The movie made a big splash earlier this year, taking home numerous awards at the inaugural Bloodfest Fantastique, a new genre-based film festival by the creators of the Melbourne Underground Film Festival. The awards Come and Get Me took home were for Best Actress (Kelsie McDonald) and Best Editor (Michael Gilbert); while director Sun won the Best Special Effects and Make-Up award and shared the Best Director award with Josh Reed for Primal.
Come and Get Me will next be screened at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival in mid-August.

The first annual Bloodfest Fantastique genre film festival — which recently wrapped in Melbourne, Australia and was organized by the good folks of the Melbourne Underground Film Festival — has given out a slew of awards to films, filmmakers and actors. The big winner of the fest? The Sydney-based horror flick The Tunnel, directed by Carlo Ledesma.
The Tunnel took home three awards, including Best Film. Becoming a festival favorite is an especially interesting feat for a film that has eschewed the traditional distribution route and is already available for free online for anybody to view who wants to BitTorrent it through a deal with Paramount Pictures. The film also won Best Cinematography for the work of co-d.P.s Shing Fung Cheung and Steve Davis; while Davis also shared the Best Supporting Actor award with Michael Rooker, who appeared in Penance.
Amother big winner was Bloodfest’s Opening Night film Come and Get Me.
