Backmask

Filmmaker Justin Crimone is the one of two men who shot the short film The Drunken Severed Head Show, which will soon be seen for the first time at the upcoming "Monster Bash" convention here in the Pittsburgh area. He is very talented,

This week I watched his 4 minute film Backmask, and it's very good. It was created for and screened at a Pittsburgh Filmmakers' film contest this past Tuesday. All entries had to be on the theme "Urban Legends and Old Wives' Tales," and be no more than four minutes. It won the $100 2nd Place prize against some excellent competition. (Oddly, first place was taken by a film that, as the filmmaker admitted, had nothing to do with the assigned theme!)
