The Asian-influenced American Indie, Ghost Month (previously featured in Fangoria #279) will be arriving on DVD July 21st via Dark World Pictures.
To celebrate the release, filmmaker Danny Draven (Deathbed) dropped Fango a line to let us know that he'll be appearing along with much of his cast and crew at a special signing event at Burbank horror staple, Dark Delicacies.
"In a bid to escape her nutso ex-boyfriend, Jacob, Alyssa (Marina Resa) takes a housekeeping gig at a remote Southwestern home. But her retreat coincides with the Chinese calendar's seventh month, when dead souls allegedly raise hell among the mortal world. Skeptical Alyssa isn't convinced by the warnings of her Chinese employers (Shirley To and Akiko Shima) until she starts having nightmarish visions in this creepy horror extravaganza."
Meet Ghost Month stars Marina Resa, Rick Irvin, Akiko Shima, Jerod Edington, and producer/composer Jojo Draven and writer/producer/director Danny Draven...

Independent horror writer/director Danny Draven (pictured) let us know that he’ll be a guest speaker at the 2009 National Association of Broadcasters Show in Las Vegas this April. He’ll be giving two classes: Producing & Directing Indie Films and Distribution for Indie Filmmakers.
For the producing/directing class, which takes place Sunday, April 19 from 10:30-11:30 a.m., Draven will offer advice and guidance for those looking to break into the film world, drawing from his knowledge and experience from the low-budget horror scene. The distribution class, being held Monday, April 20 from 10:30-11:30 a.m., will cover ways to sell and self distribute your film. Both sessions, Draven notes, will be heavily informed by his most recent experiences making the supernatural chiller Ghost Month.
Draven is enthusiastic about these opportunities and is confident they’ll have a positive effect, saying, “I’m very happy to be giving these lectures.
