Horror is the subject of much scrutiny and, ironically, most of that comes from horror fans themselves, for as the adage goes, “No one hates wrestling more than wrestling fans”.

In many ways, Brunswick is a prototypical New England college town. The respected and highly thought-of Bowdoin College sits on the hill, spreading the aura of learning and sophistication over the landscape.

A number of years ago, when a group of us were trying to envision and plan for what would become The Gathering Place (TGP), one of the goals that we set forth was that it should be a community. Everyone who participated would feel and, in fact, have ownership of it. We did not want there to be “volunteers and staff” on one hand and “guests “on the other.

One of these is Give me an A, an anthology film that collects sixteen shorts, as well as a wraparound story, by sixteen female directors.
