Nightmare on John Bright Street
Twisted shorts that enter the crazy psyche of deviant filmmakers.
Entering the crazy psyche of deviant filmmakers, these twisted shorts feature comedian Brett Gelman and his radical therapy methods (Dinner with Family with Brett Gelman and Brett Gelman's Family), Charlie Lyne’s insight into horror-filmmaking with Copycat, and a psychiatric patient obsessed with stories about fairground freaks and cursed musicians (The Golden Legend). Sometimes scary, often funny, a programme for those who like their films to have an edge.
This is not a ticketed event, but pay whatever you like, be that pounds, pennies or nothing at all. Flatpack Projects is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
