Die Mommie Die!
Thursday, May 24 at 11:00:PM
Mark Rucker, Director
2003 | 90
Written by and starring Charles Busch, DIE MOMMIE DIE! was produced by Dante Di Loreto, Anthony Edwards and Bill Kenwright of Aviator Films, LLC and also stars Frances Conroy (SIX FEET UNDER) Philip Baker Hall (MAGNOLIA), Natasha Lyonne (SLUMS OF BEVERLY HILLS), Jason Priestley (90210), and Stark Sands (SIX FEET UNDER). The film premiered in Dramatic Competition at 2003 Sundance Film Festival where Charles Busch was awarded a special performance Jury Prize.
Created as an ode to the Ross Hunter-style big-screen soaps of the 60's, DIE MOMMIE DIE! features theater veteran Busch as the fallen pop diva, Angela Arden. When Angela's husband, Sol (Hall), discovers that she's having an affair with tennis pro, gigolo and failed actor Tony Parker (Priestley), Angela calculatedly offs him with a poisoned suppository, or does she? What follows is a hilarious mixture of whodunits and double-crossings involving Bootsie (Conroy), the ill-fated family maid, Edith (Lyonne), Angela and Sol's spoiled, vampy daughter and Lance (Sands), their boy-toy son.
DIE MOMMIE DIE! is also now an off-Broadway play starring Charles Busch and directed by Carl Andress. Visit http://www.dmdtheplay.com for more details.
Death Bell

Yoon Hong-Seung, Director
2009 | 86
Making his directorial debut, South Korean filmmaker Yoon Hong-Seung serves up a macabre tale of exam anxiety and retribution. After a special class of 20 top high-school students is assembled to boost the school’s reputation, a disembodied voice announces that one will die horribly for each answer that is incorrect. As student after student falls victim to ingenious and chilling death traps concocted by their imaginative opponent, those remaining alive strive to ace the toughest academic test they have ever encountered.
