For those unfamiliar, here's the deal with Canadian film collective Astron 6. Originating as a bit of an ongoing joke between a group of Canadian friends with little else to do in Winnipeg - Winnipeg is like that, hence the good art scene there as well - Astron 6 began life turning out shot-on-video trailers for 1980s grindhouse films that never existed. And while they've branched out from that ethos a little bit in recent years they've never abandoned it. Astron 6 member Steven Kostanski has won a fair bit of love in these pages thanks to his short Heart of Karl and upcoming feature Manborg and now here comes co-founder Adam Brooks with something a bit closer to the origins of the group: A two minute trailer for a non-existent slasher titled Fireman.
