CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR OWN JASON ZINK!!

Jason Zink's feature film sequel, looky-loo: PART II, is getting its world premiere at a film festival called "Unnamed Footage Fest" in San Fransico.

He is the director, supported with a student crew, with 2 CREATE grants, AND Prof. Chastain has an Associate Producer credit too.

Jason will be traveling to the premiere and participating in a Q&A presentation.

The names of the websites here may seem odd, but these are both highly regarded websites for the independent horror film community. This is quite an accomplishment!

Looky-loo Part II has been accepted to other festivals as well, but we can't officially talk about them until they are publicly announced. Check out the articles below. More to follow, so stay tuned!
