Fantasia Announces Off Frontières Projects

The Fantasia International Film Festival's ever-growing marketplace has announced the International Off-Frontières line-up. 

The projects feature additional up-and-coming talents as well as experienced filmmakers from the independent genre film world.  

A sampling includes the Godfather of Canadian indie cinema, Larry Kent, with his first foray into horror, She Who Must Burn, Daniel Castro Zimbrón's The Darkness (which is being exec-produced by We Are What We Are director Jorge Michel Grau), Glass Eye Pix's The Mortuary Collection and Boris Rodriguez's follow up to Eddie The Sleepwalking Cannibal, titled Emerald Falls.
