We are so grateful! Phoenix FearCon was awesome and we’re exhausted. But all the feedback made it all worth it! We just hope you had as good a time as we did (ideally, without the feeling of having been tenderized with a rubber mallet…). A full write-up with pics will follow, once we have caught up on sleep, but for now:
Film awards
- Best feature: Dark Fears (Gabriel Musco)
Honorable mentions: Apps (Lucio Rojas et al)
Zombie Infection (Ray Lee) - Best short: The Snail (David Charles Bird)
Honorable mentions: Escalation (Christian Bachini)
Mask of the Evil Apparition (Alex Proyas) - Audience Favorite: The Last Christmas of the Universe (David Muñoz, Adrián Cardona)
Honorable mention: Smiles (Javier Chavanel)
Thanks
We have one or two (hundred!) people and groups we need to thank, without whom the event would not have been possible, nor would it have been so much fun or successful. Firstly, our main sponsor, OctaneTV and in particular Galen Christy and Angela Chase. We also want to thank our Bar Sponsor: The RoostAZ. its owner Ralph Skrzypczak and all his bartenders who kept you… hydrated over the weekend.
Then, we have Jay Michaels (the soul of FearCON) and ceaseless minion wrangler Tammy Snider-Schacht. for whom wrangling a herd of cats would be a mere warm-up Paul Torres for his work on sound, and our Friday night mixmaster, DJ Bueller, for a selection of tunes that made us feel sixteen again! Also, Sun Studios of Arizona and their amazing staff: Cassidy Michael-Frank Torrey, Sean the all around fixer, Chelsea Claire and Ruben Nino. Now – pauses to hyperventilate from an oxygen tank for a minute! – there are…
