ABCs Of DEATH World Premiere: Interviews. Video.

Warning: Some directors may have been injured during these interviews.

The ABCs of DEATH premiered last night and words like bedlam, tumult, total and utter choas can only begin to paint the picture of last night's red carpet. There is even a creepy sihoutte in the window behind the photo backdrop. To be completely honest the red carpet was removed because of speculation of what could happen when a ton of the most talented genre directors working today assembled.

Not much remains outside of the Ryerson this afternoon but some frayed velvet ropes and Robert A. Mitchell's video of the proceedings....

N is for Nacho: Nacho Vigalondo's 13 Second Sci-Fi

In 2007, Nacho Vigalondo hit the genre film scene in a big way with his fantastic time-travel film, Timecrimes. He followed it up with Extraterrestrial, a romantic comedy with a pinch of sci-fi, which premiered at the Festival last year (read a drunken review of the film written by Vigalondo himself over at Twitch).

Nacho is returning to the Toronto International Film Festival this year, having directed one of the 26 segments in The ABCs of Death. Earlier this year, he also directed this charming-as-heck alien invasion short film. It's only 13 seconds long, so don't blink.
