DEAD MEDIA (2025) w/ live filmmaker Q&A
August 11 : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
“Dead Media is an exciting homage to great horror, cult classics, and the bygone era of DVD bonus features.” – Twin Cities Geek
You may be done with the DVD, but it’s not done with you.
Director Joseph Scrimshaw will be in the house for a Q&A as we present a very special screening of his new film Dead Media! When a troubled young woman wants to relax by streaming an old horror movie, her Gen X uncle demands they watch it on DVD instead. But it turns out the disc is haunted, plunging them into a movie night that won’t die. A horror love letter to physical media, obsessive collectors, and the ghosts lurking inside our outdated technologies, Dead Media delivers complex characters with a gothic horror vibe, served with a splash of pitch-black comedy.
A Q&A with director Joseph Scrimshaw immediately follows the film.
