We had a great screening at GOSH Comics on Berwick Street, Soho, courtesy of Steve, and attended by Phil Hebblethwaite, one of our erstwhile interviewees, formerly of Stool Pigeon magazine...here's some lovely pics.
Thanks to Andy Oliver from Broken Frontier for this great review.
"I was captivated by its tongue-in-cheek approach to its subject. It’s one that plays up the Jekyll and Hyde conceit at its heart to bleakly comedic effect while still proving informative and enlightening about Able’s creative process." Click on the pic for full Broken Frontier review:
It was a great evening at DeLane Lea where we showed Ink, Cocks & Rock'n'Roll to a London audience for the first time - and gave away far too many raffle prizes...including the 'Krent Takes San Francisco" original artwork! Thanks so much to Tony at DeLane Lea, and to Sunny, Lucy, Michelle and Neusa for helping out on the night...
"Great piece of work - really opened a hidden can of cultural worms to dip my head into.” Marc Munden (dir: Utopia/National Treasure)
“A visceral, tangible immersive gore - loved what you did with it. Outrageous fun." Corin Hardy (dir: The Hallow)
“Innovative, cleverly executed, psychologically chilling - one to look out for in 2017” Hayley’s Horror
Thrilled that Ink Cocks featured in Hayley's Horror Celluloid Screams Best of the Fest selection, screaming in at no.5 - cheers Hayleys!
"Ink, Cocks & Rock ‘N’ Roll is an innovative, cleverly executed, documentary style short that presents the work of controversial comic book artist Steve Martin (no, not the bloke from Father of the Bride!) and his perverted alter ego Krent Able. It’s psychologically chilling as the film challenges the concept of spilt personality and questions whether there’s a thin line between Steve and the monstrous side to him. Is Krent just a fictional character stemmed from his imagination or something much worse? Fourth wall breaking and filled with edgy art work in it’s believable set up, Ink, Cocks & Rock and Roll is one to look out for in 2017.
We were thrilled to be invited to screen at the premiere horror festival of the North, Celluloid Screams hosted by Robert Nevitt. We played 7pm Sunday night in front of Pet, a fucked up kidnap take starring Dominic Monaghan. Great reception from the crowd there, thnaks so much for having us...pics and audience reactions clip below...
The 60 second teaser trailer for Ink, Cocks & Rock'n'Roll out now - along with the release of our awesome poster which you can see the full horror of in the tab below...
