Filmmakers In Attendance!
BUFF has cast its nets into the churning murk of New England horror filmmaking and hauled in a fresh batch of unspeakable dread!
Misplaced eyeglasses, a vanished sibling, a repressed memory, a pair of feet, a sharpened pencil, an uninvited guest, corporate takeovers, and holiday festivities. Some of these seem like harmless topics at first glance. Some of them are concealing a stinger more venomous than you’d expect. Some of them will latch on and quietly linger with you until they jolt you awake at 2 AM. All of them will make you proud of the varied talents of our wonderful, creepy, New England filmmakers.
