Robin Garrels: My New Personal Hero

Robin Garrels is, as my posting title indicates, my new personal hero. I decided to Google her since she'd told me that she directed some horror films, and we had a kick-ass discussion about them at the Twin Peaks Fest. Plus, this horror buff (he of the Jason Vorhees mask belt buckle) asked her to sign one of her films, Buzzsaw. From the second Robin and I started talking at the Moose Lodge, we knew we were kindred souls. Mom and I kept commenting throughout the weekend the following chant: "We love Robin & Charlie & Mary!" They are our TP Trinity. As you all know, I'm obsessed with horror films (especially the gory, sexually gratuitous kind) and I wanted to check out Ms. Sassy Robin's work as director, writer, actor extraordinaire. Wow. I'm, like, hooked on seeing these movies now! Once I enter Bit of Extra Mula Mode, I'm going to invite everyone available to come over for a Robin Garrels Fest. So: you all in the blog-reading universe should see Buzzsaw, China White Serpentine, Insaniac, Last House on Hell Street, a collection that features some of her work called Blood Soaked Cinema - A Night to Dismember, and Bad Taste Theatre Presents Even Worse Than Evil. If any of you familiar with Robin's work know of any great websites to link up with to get her some exposure, I'd be happy to post them here. Robin -- what a joy you are. A Light soul who knows how to delve into Dark territory. My favorite kind of gal! Oh, and yes, I want to star in one of your upcoming movies, 'kay? I want to play the Gay Guy (hell, it could be a slasher and my whole identity can be based on my sexual orientation, I'm not picky or P.C.). I can be Lead Dude or Victim #1, whatever works -- although I wouldn't mind a hot man-on-man kiss or whatnot before I get whacked. I may be more of a writer than an actor, but I can hold my own pretty okay (both in acting and in kissing, heh heh). Got that, Ms. Garrels? Good. Now everyone else help support this indie director and her blood-splattered visions!
