NOLADrinks Show – 3-18-19 – Mezcal

We start things off letting you know what’s up on this week’s show. We also let you know about some cool events coming up in town over the next two weeks.

Then, it’s over to Agave Week, which recently took place in New Orleans, for our featured interview. Our topic this time around is “mezcal.” We discuss this special distillate from various angles and touch on several important ideas and issues.

We welcome three guests connected to mezcal producers – Brandon McCullers of Noble Coyote, Evan Meeker of Del Maguey, and Phil Minissale with El Buho and PM Brokerage. All three are highly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject.

During the chat, we touch on the variety of agave species used to produce mezcal and how they are cultivated or foraged for. We also talk about production methods and other related aspects.

Importantly, we chat about issues and challenges the industry is facing including sustainability – both agricultural and cultural, the potential to lose mezcal’s identity, and more.

Of course, we talk about their respective brands and sample a few expressions provided by our guests, as well. In our podcast-only portion, “Another Shot with NOLADrinks,” we further discuss aspects of production and agriculture, the importance of education for consumers to make good choices, and more.

CAMP NICE 2018 SUPER RE-CAP EXTRAVAGANZA!

Doesn’t it feel now, more than ever, that we are hurling through time at such a crazy pace that keeping up is simply impossible? And what exactly are we keeping up with? The constant barrage of information, mis-information and every insignificant bit of data in between has deposited us in a constant state of flux that goes nowhere. Modern world problems indeed! So where do we go from here? For us, the answer is simple – we go to Camp Nice!

What started as a simple camping trip has become something so much more, and the changing times have all to do with it. Now Camp Nice is a sanctuary. Not so much an escape as it is a return, Camp Nice is the ultimate reset button. Whether for just one night or the whole twelve days, Camp Nice takes us back to a simpler way of life, one of cooperation, enthusiasm, and creativity, one where family and friends or complete strangers can co-exist peacefully and happily and rebuild the true feeling of what life is all about!

We know it sounds a bit extra, but anyone who has been to Camp Nice will tell you the same! This year saw Camp Nice bloom even more beautifully. A super diverse group of campers ebbing and flowing to and from camp made each day a completely different adventure, there was no way to know which way the vibe would swing. Merit badges were won, arts & crafts were created, boats were raced, waterfalls were discovered, haunted cabins were braved, fires blazed, and epic meals were created and shared. We’d watch the sun come up and then do it all over again!

Camp Nice would not have been what it was without our amazing partners this year.

Receptra Naturals – From CBD infused tea rituals every morning to CBD ointment for post-canoe shoulders, and even a CBD extract to help the Camp Nice canines keep calm in the woods, Receptra truly helped us “Make it Nice.” Their “Hang Up, Be Healthy” no cellphone merit badge was amongst the most coveted and only the most dedicated completed the challenge of 24 full hours without a phone check!

People Footwear – Every camper received a pair of People’s Cypress insulated moccasins that were essential all day and all night comfort.

Arvin Goods – Arvin hooked up a specially packaged Camp Nice sustainable sock meaning everyone had dry feet, even after surviving the few storms that rolled in.

Raen Optics – All campers got to hit the lake in style from Raen’s full range of sunglasses. Some people never even took them off!

Burton Snowboards – Burton’s Camp Nice accessory pack was the perfect size to keep all camp essentials at close hand.

Mizu – This years official Camp Nice mug came from Mizu as did a set of camp cutlery including chop sticks for all campers. Even back in the real world, its all you need to eat and drink and be completely green.

D’Angelico Guitars – From sunset sessions to late night crooning, D’Angelico provided the strings for Camp Nice’s merry musicians.

Austin Eastciders – Who knew camping and cider went so well. From the fully stocked Dardy Bar, Austin Eastciders were a hit from the first sip of the day to the last before bed. They mix great in cocktails too!

Old Blue Last – You’d be hard pressed to look across Camp Nice and not spot OBL’s signature gold can in multiple hands. Ice cold was the way to go.

El Buho Mezcal – When it came to late night libations in front of the fire, The Owl delivered every time.

Don Julio, Bulleit Bourbon & Ketel One Vodka – Our generous liquor sponsors meant that this years Camp Nice never feared a drought and tasty cocktails were always on deck!

We could continue on for days but words ultimately just don’t do Camp Nice justice, so without further ado, please enjoy our Camp Nice Recap Extravaganza in film photos by Craig Wetherby after the jump. To everyone that came, thank you! And to those that didn’t, there’s always next year!

[First Look] Brooklyn Horror Film Festival 2017

New Post has been published on https://nofspodcast.com/first-look-brooklyn-horror-film-festival-2017/

[First Look] Brooklyn Horror Film Festival 2017

The 2nd edition of the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival has upped the ante since their incarnation last year: the festival has extended its run to a fourth day, doubled its number of feature-length movies and added more participating theatres!

The festival will open with Turkish surrealist horror Housewife, making its North American premiere. The two centerpiece features will be Cold Hell (Die Hölle in German) and Joe Lynch’s bureaucratic Battle Royale, Mayhem. Closing the festival will be the North American premiere of The Book of Birdie.

The line-up includes horror films that have already travelled the world film festival circuit like Game of Death, Fashionista, Sequence Break and Tragedy Girls. However, there will be a world premiere of the New York-made rape-revenge flick, Get My Gun.

Slasher fans will most likely be lining up to see To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story. The documentary examines the early years of the actor whose resume includes playing Jason Voorhees and Victor Crowley of the Hatchet series. There will also be a mini-marathon of the first four parts of Friday the 13th, to be appropriately screened on Friday, October 13th.

There are loads of other events like a drunk TedTalk on final girls, a focus on Mexican horror, an art and VR showcase, and a midnight drunken ghost hunt, as if you needed an excuse to drunkenly wander around Brooklyn.

You can read the synopses of the feature films below.

    1974 (EAST COAST PREMIERE)

Mexico / Dir. Victor Dryere

Sponsored by El Buho Mezcal

Shortly after getting married in 1974, the young couple Altair and Manuel disappeared without a trace in Mexico. Through a collection of 8mm tapes and home movies, the newlyweds’ fates are revealed in all of their bizarre and terrifying glory. A much-needed shot in the arm for a tired horror style, Mexican filmmaker Victor Dryere’s genuinely unnerving 1974 deserves mention alongside found-footage gems like [REC] and PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.

THE BOOK OF BIRDIE (NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE)

UK / Dir. Elizabeth E. Schuch

Emotionally fragile and prone to hallucinations, shy teenager Birdie is placed in a convent. Birdie’s new surroundings, however, trigger her deepest and darkest obsessions, most prominently her love of, and fascination with, blood. Anchored by its all-women cast, first-time director Elizabeth E. Schuch’s one-of-a-kind THE BOOK OF BIRDIE impressively blends psychological horror, whimsical fantasy, and feminist ideals.

CLEMENTINA (NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE)

Argentina / Dir. Jimena Monteoliva

A young woman traumatized by a savage attack from her husband begins to hear voices in her apartment. Jimena Monteoliva’s solo directorial debut expertly builds tension, maintaining a sense of unease from the start that creeps higher until the frightening and suffocating shocker of a third act. Cecilia Cartasegna delivers with a classically terrifying portrait of a woman on the edge. Film guests in attendance.

COLD HELL (EAST COAST PREMIERE)

Germany / Dir. Stefan Ruzowitzky

Co-Presented by Shudder

Turkish-born taxi driver Ozge doesn’t take shit from anyone. After she witnesses a brutal murder from the window of her Vienna apartment, Ozge becomes the target of a slick and calculated serial killer. Unfortunately for him, though, Ozge has her own brand of viciousness on tap. An intelligent and live-wire cross between Italian Giallo and Jason Bourne, Oscar-winning director Stefan Ruzowitzky’s COLD HELL is a first-rate, action-packed genre-bender.

THE CRESCENT (EAST COAST PREMIERE)

Canada / Dir. Seth A Smith

Following her husband’s death, a woman takes her two-year-old son to live in a remote beachfront estate. Plagued by painful memories, the young mother does her best to overcome emotional trauma, but the locals have their own plans. Before long, their strange, dark, and ancient traditions turn her life into a waking nightmare. Visually ambitious and tonally hypnotic, Canadian filmmaker Seth A. Smith’s haunting THE CRESCENT casts a sneakily powerful spell.

FASHIONISTA (NEW YORK PREMIERE)

USA / Dir. Simon Rumley

No one does psychological disturbance like British cinema provocateur Simon Rumley, who complete his unofficial Texas trilogy (after RED WHITE & BLUE and JOHNNY FRANK GARRETT’S LAST WORD) with a film that proves you can’t spell “distress” without “dress.” RED WHITE’s Amanda Fuller is fascinating as April, a clothing-obsessed woman whose suspicions about her husband’s infidelity send her down a rabbit hole of dangerous, self-destructive behavior.

THE FOREST OF LOST SOULS (EAST COAST PREMIERE)

Portugal / Dir. José Pedro Lopes

Two suicidal strangers explore the Forest of Lost Souls together, looking for the best spot to commit suicide all the while debating, what’s the best way to kill yourself? It soon becomes clear that one person isn’t who they say they are. This black-and-white-shot nightmare is a unique and disturbing modern take on the slasher film.

GAME OF DEATH (NY PREMIERE)

Canada/France / Dirs. Laurence Baz Morais & Sebastien Landry

For a group of party-crazy teens, it’s all about smoking, drinking, and sex. But that goes to hell when they play a board game that requires human blood and whose uncontrollable countdowns lead to someone’s head exploding. Survival requires killing someone else. Bodies will drop; craniums will burst. Insanely gory and fun as hell, Canadian co-directors Sebastien Landry and Laurence Baz Morais’ GAME OF DEATH is deliriously madcap splatter cinema.

GET MY GUN (WORLD PREMIERE)

USA / Dir. Brian Darwas

Sponsored by Quickframe

Amanda is left pregnant after being raped at her work. When a crazed stalker becomes obsessed with her unborn child she is forced to evolve from prey to predator as to protect both her and her baby’s body. Film guests in attendance.

HAGAZUSSA – A HEATHEN’S CURSE (EAST COAST PREMIERE)

Germany / Dir. Lukas Fiegelfeld

Surrounded by heightened paranoia and superstition, an evil presence threatens a mother and her infant child in the Alps of 15th century Austria. But is this ancient malevolence an outside force or a product of her psychosis? With stunningly gorgeous photography and atmosphere for days, Lukas Fiegelfeld’s gothic horror fever dream illustrates the dangers associated with dark beliefs and the infestation of fear.

HEAD TRIP SHORTS BLOCK

Proving that horror is about more than just scares, these HEAD TRIP shorts boldly push the genre’s boundaries and challenge your preconceptions.

HOUSEWIFE (NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE)

Turkey / Dir. Can Evrenol

Sponsored by Birth.Movies.Death

Haunted by the bloodstained memories of a horrific childhood incident, Holly’s struggles with separating her nightmares from reality derail after she meets charismatic psychic with a secret agenda. Capitalizing on the immense promise shown by his brutal 2015 breakthrough BASKIN, writer-director Can Evrenol solidifies himself as horror’s future with this hypnotic and gruesome ode to Bava-esque Italian horror. Film guest in attendance.

INHERITANCE (EAST COAST PREMIERE)

USA / Dir. Tyler Savage

Out of the blue, a man learns of the death of his absentee biological father by inheriting his 2.5 million dollar home. While staying there with his pregnant fiancé, he uncovers horrible truths about his father that could destroy his life. Fantastic lead performances and a patient sinister narrative make this one hell of an impressive debut for director Tyler Savage. Film guest in attendance.

LOCALS ONLY SHORTS SHOWCASE

Sponsored by Quickframe

BHFF is proud to bring to you our second annual LOCALS ONLY shorts showcase. This shorts block allows us to provide a platform for all the incredible homegrown filmmakers to show off their talent and badassery to the masses.

MAYHEM (NY PREMIERE)

USA / Dir. Joe Lynch

Co-Presented by Shudder

THE WALKING DEAD’s Steven Yeun plays a young lawyer who’s just been fired from his firm for a mistake he didn’t actually make, and faces even more severe troubles when his co-workers are infected with the “ID7 virus.” Their quarantined building becomes a rage-fueled killing ground in director Joe Lynch’s (WRONG TURN 2, EVERLY) fast-paced blend of corporate satire and corporeal brutality.

MEXICO BARBARO II (NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE)

Mexico / Dir. Lex Ortega, Sergio Tello, Diego Cohen, Fernando Urdapilleta, Michel Garza, Carlos Melendez, Ricardo Farías, Christian Cueva, Abraham Sanchez

Sponsored by El Buho Mezcal

In 2014, the truly demented Mexican filmmaker Lex Ortega assembled his country’s best horror filmmakers for the shocking anthology MEXICO BARBARO. But if you thought that film was gnarly, wait until you get a load of this crazier and wonderfully unhinged follow-up, helmed by an all-new lineup of on-the-rise Mexican horror voices and touching on cannibalism, porn, and historical demons. Film guests in attendance.

NIGHTMARE FUEL SHORTS BLOCKS

From Nazi-fueled ghosts to demonic phone apps, NIGHTMARE FUEL spans the globe to celebrate the scariest and most unique pure horror shorts.

RIFT (NY PREMIERE)

Iceland / Dir. Erlingur Thoroddsen

Intrigued by an out-of-nowhere phone call, Gunnar heads to a remote outpost to reconnect with his ex-boyfriend Einar. Great conversation and fond memories are shared, yet the two men can’t shake the feeling that someone, or something, else is there—and has sinister plans. Elegant and assured, the subtly creepy RIFT is the audacious sophomore feature from Icelandic filmmaker Erlingur Thoroddsen, whose debut, CHILD EATER, world-premiered at BHFF 2016. Film guest in attendance.

SALVATION (NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE)

Spain / Dir. Denise Castro

Stuck in a hospital waiting to undergo open heart surgery, Cris (Marina Boti) finds a reason to stay in another patient named Victor (Ricard Balada) who claims to be a vampire. Surrounded by death, the two enamored teenagers hatch a plan to escape the hospital together. Filled with both sadness and unbridled hope, Salvation is the arthouse answer to Twilight.

SEQUENCE BREAK (NY PREMIERE)

USA / Dir. Graham Skipper

Sponsored by Brooklyn Fireproof Stages

Busy genre actor Graham Skipper (RE-ANIMATOR: THE MUSICAL, BEYOND THE GATES, THE MIND’S EYE) makes his feature writing/directing debut with a surreal, absorbing homage to the body-horror cinema and video games of the ’80s. Chase Williamson plays an arcade-game repairman who finds love with a customer (Fabienne Theresa) and terror from a mysterious game with a lot more powering it than pixels. Film guest in attendance.

THE SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES (1971)

France / Dir. Jean Rollin

In conjunction with the launch of Spectacular Optical’s LOST GIRLS: THE PHANTASMAGORICAL CINEMA OF JEAN ROLLIN, book editor Samm Deighan will host a special screening of Rollin’s SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES. Originally released in 1971, the French auteur’s psycho-sexual masterwork demonstrates all of Rollin’s cinematic touchstones: erotic scares, drop-dead-gorgeous bloodsuckers, and ornately shot kink. It’ll turn you into a Rollin disciple if you aren’t one already.

TO HELL AND BACK: THE KANE HODDER STORY (EAST COAST PREMIERE)

USA / Dir. Derek Dennis Herbert

The man behind two of horror’s greatest slashers, Jason Voorhees and the HATCHET franchise’s Victor Crowley, Kane Hodder has proven himself unbeatable when it comes to offing on-screen victims. But as it turns out, he’s even more unbeatable in real life, having persevered through a painful childhood and a nearly fatal accident. Derek Dennis Herbert’s heartfelt documentary TO HELL AND BACK candidly reveals the heart and soul of a horror icon.

TRAGEDY GIRLS (NY PREMIERE)

USA / Dir. Tyler Macintyre

Co-Presented by Nitehawk Cinema

Status obsession has a body count when BFFs Sadie (Brianna Hildebrand, DEADPOOL’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead) and McKayla (Alexandra Shipp) capture a serial murderer whose exploits they’ve been chronicling on their blog. How do they keep the slaughter spree going so they have more to report on? The answers are both giggly and grisly in a film also featuring a fun supporting turn by Craig Robinson (also a producer).

VERONICA (US PREMIERE)

Mexico / Dir. Carlos Algara & Alejandro Martinez Beltran

Sponsored by El Buho Mezcal

A retired psychologist agrees to take on one more patient under the condition that the young lady move into her isolated home in the woods. A game of secrets and lies ensues as the two women battle for psychological dominance. Mexican co-directors Carlos Algara and Alejandro Martinez-Beltran’s feature debut is an erotically charged mystery with echoes of early Polanski.

  The Brooklyn Horror Film Festival will take place from October 12th to October 15th. Buy your tickets here!
