A beach party rock and
roll monster movie, set in 1966 - featuring an
all-girl garage rock band and the legend of the Skunk Ape (the Florida
Everglades version of Bigfoot). Theodora, Jody and Carol, collectively
The Violas, are on tour when their van breaks down in a small southern

after she's found walking the beach in a state of shock. Scientist John
Patterson is called in to help investigate. Both John and local mechanic
Hector Garcia fall for Violas lead singer Theodora, but she seems to

Director will be in attendance for Q & A following
the film.
James Cotton (Patrick Carrico) hates his life, job, and girlfriend.
In a vain attempt to sober up and make a numb life for himself, he takes
a job in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. His first day on the job he's
placed in the coat room with Claire (Claire Bromwell) whose sarcastic
and hardened personality manages to pierce James's lifeless veneer.
James's budding crush on the young woman is enough to rope him into
a series of scams she has planned for the day in order to make enough
money to move away. Under an onslaught of odd museum patrons and caricatures
of the young and hip art crowd, James is powerless to ease the awful
pain of existence in a rhetorical world. Claire's life of impulsive
action without thought forces James to confront both her lies and his
own. Does James have what it takes to change his life? Can he find a
reason to exist in this overwhelmingly futile world?

MURDER AT HOME PLATE:
A LITTLE LEAGUE TRAGEDY
Directed and edited
by James Westby
Produced by Byrd McDonald
Music by Katie Griesar
Color, 2003. 4 minutes.
This is a sad and terrifying documentary detailing a
2002 true-life Tualatin, OR case of a psychotic baseball coach and
the unlucky umpire who got in his way. As one eyewitness put it, “This
is the most bad thing I’ve ever saw with my own two eyes,
basically.” MURDER AT HOME
PLATE: A LITTLE LEAGUE TRAGEDY is a heart-wrenching film that will tear
your guts out and then spit them right back at you.
THE
AUTEUR
Written directed and edited by James Westby.
Starring Melik Malkasian.
Produced by Byrd McDonald
Color, 2002. 4 minutes.
THE AUTEUR chronicles legendary porno director Arturo Domingo as he
records the commentary track for his latest DVD release, Requiem for
a Wet Dream. Filmed entirely in a Los Angeles sound studio, this is
a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the mind of a true visionary.
In
fact, THE AUTEUR may be one of the most important films ever made about
the creative process.
BLOODY MARY: THE VERSION YOU’VE NEVER SEEN.
Written directed and edited by James Westby.
Starring Melik Malkasian.
Color, 1995. 80 minutes.
James Westby’s critically acclaimed no-budget thriller Bloody
Mary
returns to the big screen in a new,
never-before-seen version.
Prepared especially for the inaugural Longbaugh Film Festival, this
taut and funny homage to B-movies is now several minutes shorter, but
still as bloody as ever. Painstakingly transferred
frame-by-frame from a scratchy 16mm print to the consumer-grade
mini dv format, Bloody Mary was tightened by its director to reflect
the vision that he thinks he should have had when the movie was first
released.
ACCLAIM FOR BLOODY MARY:
“A diabolical thriller in the tradition of Blood Simple.”
--
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“Only an asshole would miss this movie!” --
NY Underground Film Festival
“Audacious Bloody Mary is a stylish, unpredictable
thriller.” --
Paula Nechak, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
