LATIN HORROR and East Harlem International Film Festival bring you a dynamic, multimedia panel that explores the world of horror from both the scream and business ends of the equation.
Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.

Thanks to Forbidden Planet for bringing the Darkness to Light…the 100th person to attend will be given a $100 gift certificate to the Forbidden Planet web store. Well…maybe not…but I’m sure we can manage to find you a really cool Latin Horror T-Shirt. Look forward to seeing you there.
Stay up.
