Arkham Film Society Presents: “Revenge is Her Middle Name” with Anthony Matthews @ Empire Black Box
8:00 pm
Kat (Lissa Brennan), a drug addicted prostitute, has hit rock bottom. In a desperate attempt to turn her life around, she plans a reckless heist with hopes of scoring the money she needs to leave her street life behind. When things spiral out of control, she is confronted by a drug dealing pimp known as Mutton Chop (Douglas Bell). Hellbent on vengeance, the sadistic pimp orders a brutal attack on Kat. Now all she wants is Revenge… And it is her turn to collect!”
This project is the brainchild of New Zealander Anthony Matthews, who serves as writer and director of the film. With a lifetime of horror, cult, and exploitation films pumping through his veins, he is aiming to make a film that has the touch of ’70s and ’80s era exploitation cinema. On board for the project are modern FX gorehound Jerami Cruise from TOETAG EFX and director of photography Thomas Rumpf, with Aziza, Vinny Rixon, and Bryan Truex rounding out the Fort Street Entertainment crew.

  • It’s totally casual. Wear whatever, bring whoever, arrive and take off whenever! And don’t worry about eating or not – come famished or full – eating is optional, and frankly, the least of the festivities (that’s not say the food isn’t good – it’s actually great)
  • Topics of conversation will vary as they will at any gathering of geeks, but many of us will be talking about AJAX, mash-ups, start-ups, new devices, innovative business models, interaction design, social computing, digital art, web services, etc. etc. etc.
  • There is Wi-Fi so bring your connected device of choice.
Open Level Modern Dance @ 95 Empire Dance Studio
6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Modern Dance For Every Level with Jamie Arnold and Stephanie Turner // Wednesdays @ 6:30-8pm // $13 per class; $60 for 6 classes 

Class begins with a warm-up that incorporates yoga and breathwork with gentle movements of the spine before moving on to phrase material. A series of short phrases will then be explored, where students are encouraged to play and experiment with how his/her individual body prefers to move through the demonstrated movements. The phrases include elements like directional changes, movement through space, spirals, rotation, lines, momentum, energy and floorwork. Movement may carry over from previous classes and blend into the dance material. Each phrase that is developed will lead to a rich and colorful dance toward the end of class.  Jamie Arnold is a certified and licensed Kripalu Yoga guide and dancer working out of Warwick RI and graduate of Rhode Island College with a B.A. in Dance Performance, where she was a member of the Rhode Island College Dance Company. Jamie attended the American Dance Festival in Durham, NC and was in residency at The Dragon’s Egg Studio in Ledyard, CT and has performed in Trisha Brown’s Floor of the Forest at the ICA in Boston and Between Movement Contemporary Dance Company.
