Remember those loveable Curling Zombies?
They took to the streets, which is what zombies do.
They hung out at The Beer Store, which was something new.
They infatuated the Rogers TV folks during last February’s Ontario Tankard.
And believe it or not, they are still groaning their way around the country.
Fresh off this past Saturday’s screening at the CFC’s Worldwide Short Film Festival in Toronto, our favourite undead curlers are off to St. John’s in Newfoundland. Deadspiel will make its Eastern Canadian premier at the Nickel Independent Film Festival (June 23-27) with a show date of Thursday June 25, part of the 10:00pm Late Night Horror Show.
The film is also appearing at this week’s Detroit Windsor Film Fest, on Friday, June 26, and then in west-end Toronto at the Mississauga Independent Film Festival in early July.
Another showing will take place at Montreal’s famed Fantasia Festival next month.
We’ve got a recent feature from Independent Scene right here, and a brief trailer teaser was also recently released, which you can see here.
For more on the film, consult the Deadspiel website.
