TiCK is the second short film by Toronto native Ashlea Wessel. It’s also her second short film (the first being INK) to play the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. I was a big fan of INK, but I found TiCK to be leaps and bounds ahead of it.   There

Our interview with DAVID LEE HESS was so good that we had to break it in two, rather then chop it down to one part.  In part two we talk about his film FETISH, which plays the Telluride Horror Show on Saturday for their “Something Wicked This Way Comes: Shorts

Recently, Fear Forever got the chance to speak with up and coming genre actor David Lee Hess as a part of the Philadelphia Unnamed Film Festival. Although he’s no stranger to acting (with roughly 55 credits to date), he’s recently made a name for himself within the horror community. David

There’s nothing quite like viewing the work of up and coming filmmakers as they test their visual tool belts and flirt with all the possibilities of the medium. Behold the beauty of shorts! They are the unavoidable rite of passage for anyone that is serious about making movies.  A pragmatist
