"House Near The End of The Street" Screened & Other Fest News

in ,

This past weekend, our Contest Submission "House Near The End of the Street," which ended up making the Top 10 Finalists in said contest, screened at the Macabre Faire Film Festival. It was like a mini Comic Con with hundreds of Horror Fans in attendance. Christina & Ryan had a blast meeting the audience and hearing their positive feedback on the short. 

The film also screened at the NJ HorrorFest last year. Unfortunately, we could not attend that one. But we hear it was received well. 

If you missed either of the screenings, watch the film here:

 

We will not be submitting the film to the any additional festivals. So feel free to watch it on our site at any time. Like this short and "Come Here Often?," our other short "S.K.A." will not be screening at any future festivals after making Official Selection at the 2013 Dark Comedy Festival, 2013 Faux Film Festival, 2013 Laugh or Die Fest & being invited to screen at the 2013 Katra Film Series. 

You can also watch the film on our site:

 

Our main festival submissions/screenings for the new year will predominately be focused on Summit, but also on Christina's new short "Juice It," "Ryan's upcoming short "Fed Up," and a few other short films we have slated for production over the summer. As always, we'll keep you updated. 

' Come Here Often?' Festival Run Concluded

in ,

After screening at the Katra Film Series, Cinema Night, Reel Works of NYC & making it to the Best of Katra in association with the East Harlem Film Festival, "Come Here Often?" screened this past Friday at the International Film Festival of Manhattan. Unfortunately, none of us could attend but we've received great feedback from guests who reached out to us through the inter-webs. It has a special place in our hearts at CongestedCat, being our first production as a team and having been so well received over the last two years.

Unless a film series or festival requests the film for screening, this concludes the festival run for CHO. If you never got a chance to see it on the big screen, it's available below for viewing. Watch it and let us know what your favorite lines are on our Facebook page or @CongestedCat on Twitter! #comehereoften

Behind the Scenes of Shooting 'Juice It'

in

I decided to take my experience trying a 7-day juice cleanse with my boyfriend and turn it into an absurd comedy, casting Nichole Yannetty (of our upcoming webseries 'Kelsey') and Ricardo Manigat from Summit, with a few of the people who helped shoot 'Kelsey,' and on literally no budget. It was a ton of fun & I'm excited to jump into post with this short.
