Filmwax welcomes back the filmmaker Larry Fessenden for his 12th visit to the show. He’s joined by actor Alex Hurt who stars in his latest movie “Blackout“, a product of Larry’s Glass Eye Pix and their occasional filmmaking partners at Dark Sky Films.
Painter Charley (Alex Hurt, “Minyan”, TV’s “New Amsterdam”) wakes up in an upstate motel where he appears to have been living for some time. After he packs and leaves he encounters various people in the small town where everybody knows your name. Charley is saying goodbye to the estranged love of his life, Sharon (Addison Timlin, “Submission:, TV’s “American Horror Stories”), and settling his affairs with a manic urgency that culminates with a call to a friend, Earl (Motell Gyn Foster, “Marriage Story,” “A Dog’s Way Home”), saying: “You better be ready, I’m coming.” But Charley never makes it to his friend’s house: When the sun goes down he has convulsions while driving his car, goes off the road and ends up in a ditch. Charley, it seems, is a werewolf. He attacks his rescuers and moves through the outskirts of town at night wreaking havoc. But the next day he can’t remember the things he’s done. Now the tight-knit town must rally to find out what is tearing it apart: mistrust, fear, or a vicious monster.
Also, following this segment, a never podcasted conversation with Larry from October of 2022.
