The 22-minute version of Lee Gordon Demarbre's short "Bzzzzzzz" is scheduled to open for Brian Singleton's feature Forest of the Dead at the 2006 Fantasia Festival in Montréal on Friday July 7th at 11:35 p.m.. (Note: The Fantasia Festival website currently lists the screening times for "Bzzzzzzz" and Forest of the Dead as 11:55 p.m. and 11:35 p.m., respectively; I presume that these listings have accidentally been reversed.) Apparently, a 7-minute version of "Bzzzzzzz" premièred at the Digi60 Digital Video Festival in Ottawa on September 16th of last year, and the 22-minute version premièred at the Pink Bubble Bath (a travelling film festival) at Barrymore's Music Hall in Ottawa on February 14th of this year.
As was previously reported here on ScreenAnarchy, the screenplay for "Bzzzzzzz" was written by Demarbre. The short stars Phil Caracas, Gabrielle Wolfe, Josh Grace, Anna Sharrett, Dave Cherry, Marie-France Courtemanche, Gabriela Svoboda, Marc Charron, and Ian Driscoll.
