Gothtober Inspiration Screening at the EPFC!

It’s never to early to start getting creepy…

This was very fun, not only because we watched a truly incredible collection of short films from twelve years of Gothtober, but I bought FIVE different types of M&Ms for sampling at the screening!

We had a presentation and special screening showing the breadth and variety of submissions through the years that have made Gothtober great. Hopefully this fed everyone’s brains some ideas and everyone will want the glory and fame of being a Gothtober contributor!

The world’s first annual curated time-release online museum of 31 works of art by 31 different contributors is about to start taking applications, and we are always (evil laughter) seeking new blood.

Gothtober’s Grab Bag of the Unknown contains a deluge of over 350 tiny films, crafts, recipes, stories and MORE! It’s the perfect place for independent and experimental creeps, ghosts and freaks to flaunt their tricks and treats.

Presentation was by yours truly: Julianna (JP) Parr, Executive Director of SparkleBlob and Head Candy Corn of Gothtober.com

Artist Block Talk at the Echo Park Film Center

Screen Shot 2015-07-10 at 3.18.15 AM

SparkleBlob gave it’s first workshop in the form of a conversation about Artist Blocks with yours truly, Julianna Parr (that’s me writing this.) For two hours I had a captive audience at the Echo Park Film Center! 

I screened three short films:

Duck Amuck – To illustrate how creativity can really be a pain in the butt

The Dot and the Line – This was a film that made quite an impression on me as a youngster, and implored me to find new and different ways to be creative.

The Tender Game – This beautiful Hubley film changed my life. It hands down offered me an example of conveying emotion in a distinctly heartfelt and organic way that I never knew was possible.

I then gave away to each attendee a pair of paper dice, which can be glued together then tossed about and used to take you down a pathway toward fruition of some of your ideas. I suspect this is not the last time I give this little presentation, so keep a look out for when it comes around again.

There is also talk about a puppet-building workshop on the horizon…
