UPCOMING EVENTS
BEYOND THE DRUMLINS
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 17TH 7:30PM
What a beautiful place to die. AZUFF kicks off the festival with this critically acclaimed Sci-Fi Horror!
The leaves have started to change, but Professor Jonathan Rust is still woefully ill-prepared for the coming semester. With the help of a fellow professor, his teaching assistant, an old friend and a hired hand, the team searches for a suitable dig site for the archeology department’s field work course. The trip presents a rare opportunity for Jonathan to get his hands dirty and success could mean publication and just maybe – tenure. The expedition is quickly derailed when a member of the team mysteriously vanishes. Soon, the group finds themselves at the intersection of reality and the afterlife in a harrowing descent into madness.

WHISKEY DIXIE AND THE BIG WET COUNTRY
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20TH 5PM
Introducing Whiskey Williams, the iconic has-been honky-tonk diva whose rise and fall is the stuff of legend. From a one-horse town to the bright lights of Nashville, her journey takes a wild turn with a viral video—now set to a dubstep remix of her infamous “High-Speed Climax.” Caught between newfound fame and a tumultuous love triangle with Paul, the lovable grocer, and Dick Princess, the enigmatic bard of Blood Wand, Whiskey must choose: soar to stardom or burnout on a barstool at the Dixie Tavern?
This outlaw-country masterpiece is a dazzling mix of uproarious edgy comedy (think sex ED for adults), hillbilly girl power, and chasing dreams, even if they’re past their prime. With Whiskey’s love life hitting every surprising note and the Dixie Tavern gang adding their rustic charm, buckle up for a star-stubbled journey into a Redneck Rocky Horror that gives a whole new meaning to “hoedown.”

LEAD BELLY
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20TH 9PM
Flashback to 1997. LEAD BELLY is a coming of age horror film about two younger brothers visiting their recently divorced and estranged father during summer vacation. With plenty of bumps, twists and terrifying turns along the way. LEAD BELLY will keep the audience guessing until the final frame and leave them shattered.
“The message hiding within Lead Belly is brutal, and an unexpected series of rug pulls distort everything, leaving the audience wracked with a burning sadness.” – The Hollywood New
“For in this jagged, piecemeal narrative whose different parts slowly come together like a jigsaw puzzle to show a bigger picture – indeed, a (broken) family portrait – everything will ultimately make an awful sense” – Anton Bitel, Projected Figures
