NIGHT MUSIC: THE ART OF P. CRAIG RUSSELL
Produced, Photographed & Edited by WAYNE ALAN HAROLD

A graduate of the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting, P. Craig Russell has run the gamut in comics. After establishing a name for himself at Marvel on KILLRAVEN and DR. STRANGE, he went on to become one of the pioneers in opening new vistas for this underestimated field with, among other works, adaptations of operas by Mozart (THE MAGIC FLUTE), Strauss (SALOME) and Wagner (THE RING OF THE NIBELUNG).

NIGHT MUSIC: THE ART OF P. CRAIG RUSSELL takes you into this artist’s professional and personal life for an in-depth look at both his career and his storytelling techniques. You’ll also go behind-the-scenes to see Russell hard at work on his comics adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s SANDMAN: THE DREAM HUNTERS.

LURID MEDIA presents TOWNIES
Written, Produced & Directed by WAYNE ALAN HAROLD

In Schlarb, Ohio, "weird" is the new "normal" as every resident seems to have their own, singular mental illness. Dickie (Toby Radloff, "real life" star of Harvey Pekar's AMERICAN SPLENDOR) is a lonely dumpster diver whose terminal loneliness seems to be cured when he finds the corpse of a beautiful woman. Pricey is a mute who carries around her own look-alike doll. The Clapper thinks he can make things happen by clapping his hands, while The Licker feels compelled to taste nearly everything he encounters. These unfortunate misfits populate TOWNIES, a cult film of blackly comic proportions from director Wayne Alan Harold.

REVIEWS:
"Movies like this are few and far between. Some would be thankful for that. Not me. I love this kind of thing. Any movie that features characters just like the ones I dodge on the streets on a daily basis is going to get high marks in my book. TOWNIES is that film, and the people whose lives it focuses on exist in every city of note around the world." - DOUG BRUNELL, FILM THREAT

"The plot is intriguing, the performances are spirited, the jokes are funny and it says something on a personal level that's missing in most mainstream movies." - WILL PFEIFER, ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR

". . . an unusual, well crafted picture that deserves an audience . . . a low budget gem . . . recommended to those interested in offbeat cinema. Tempe's disc is top of the line in all respects." - DVD AUTHORITY

"Imagine a black and white Hal Hartley movie cast with recently discharged mental patients. It's gross, funny, and even a little touching at times." - CHRIS SHARPE, REWIND VIDEO MAGAZINE
