We got another announcement for Grossfest 2026 see who it is!!!

For our next announcement for Grossfest 2026 is also quite exciting as we consider this person an absolute independent film legend. This person’s career started at a young age in the late 80s and as soon as I mention any of the projects this person has been a part of yinz will exactly know who it is… They pretty much grew up in the independent scene doing whatever it takes to be a part of a project: grip, production assistant, extra, and then graduated to speaking roles, being a writer, a producer, a director! This person has seen it all and done it all but what makes it special to have them back to Grossfest since their last appearance it seems they challenge themselves to say “hold my beer to themselves” and “wait until you get a load of me” to Indie fans with such recent genre changing projects ‘Her Name was Christa’ and ‘Side Effects May Vary’… The only person in the room that might be able to tell just as many stories about independent filmmaking as David and Diana Silvio (A Grossfest Lifetime Achievement Award winners mind you), we of course can only be talking about a person that may have the most interesting career in acting but also might be considered the nicest person you’ll ever meet at a convention… We like to introduce yinz to MR. JAMES L. EDWARDS!
