This film featuring the SWLfest is consistently
selling out a 350-seat theater night after
night--so another screening is being added this
Tuesday. If you're within an hour or two of
Philly, it's worth catching this film with a big
general audience. This is the final cut with a
few changes and additions to the rough cut that
was privately screened for us at this year's SWLfest.
It should be available via Netflix this fall, and on DVD early next year.

JUST ADDED: One more Resurrect Dead screening
Sunday September 11, 2011 Due to popular demand
(three sold out screenings, plus one
near-capacity, with Monday nights screening on
the way to another sellout), weve added one last
showing of Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the
Toynbee Tiles. As always, the cast and
director/producer/composer Jon Foy will be here
in person and participating in a post-screening
Q&A, except for Colin Smith, who has to return to
Boston. That happens Tuesday night, September 13, at 7pm.

Thursday, September 8, 2011 As you hopefully
already know via our website, Facebook, or the
raft of press attention its been getting,
Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles
premieres tonight. Tickets are going fast and
will definitely sell out at the door, but we have
some left for Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays screenings.
Heres the City Papers and Weeklys takes.
Heres the PW cover story on the film and the
saga of Director Jon Foy at Sundance, where he
won for Best Director of a Documentary, from February.
A little out-of-town rag called the New York
Times gives the film an NYT Critics Pick here.
As they hit leads and stumbling blocks, Mr.
Foys moody score and dexterous editing
accentuate the mystery. Though their quarry
eventually appears to be a model of paranoia and
prejudice, its the thrill of the hunt that keeps Resurrect Dead compelling.
The AV Club Philly has a longer interview with
Foy and and star Colin Smith here (contains mild
spoilers about what the film does and doesnt get
to the bottom of). Foy also takes part in a great
interview at Philly Magazine here, in which he
talks about his day jobs cleaning houses and doing scary medical experiments.
