For our next Grossfest 2027 guest announcement is someone who will only be there for one day (Saturday) but one day is all we will need for this talented underground filmmaker. This person retired several years ago from being a filmmaker to pursue a dream of owning a toy store and running one of the biggest toy shows on the east coast in Ohio. But there are quite a few of us that remember such titles as Toxic Shock Zombies, Slashing Prices, Holy Shit… Zombies!, and a few others including the famous unfinished project Incest Bernie: The Legend of Blood Forest that just hit for all of us in the early 2000s. Now this person in pursuing their dream (Toyhio) brings in thousands of toy collectors on a regular basis to their show that runs a couple times a year. We are so happy to bring into Pittsburgh not just a talented person but a great longtime friend as we can only be talking about… Rick Fusselman!

We are just gonna come right out of the gate with guest announcements as we got a huge reaction with this one at our past show. This filmmaker all their life has just wanted to make movies. Their outrageous comedic humor, writing, directing has become a celebrated staple in the independent community throughout the 90s,00s,10s. Within the past couple years there was a documentary about their work that was absolutely wonderful called “Zero Budget Heroes”. This person has given you characters like Mulva, Teenape, and such films as Sexsquatch, Terror at Blood Fart Lake, The Weirdsies. This extremely talented, funny, super cool individual with their band of misfits has made over 65 films and doing it for 35 years… we can only be talking about the one, the only from Low Budget Pictures… Please welcome to Grossfest 2027, Mr. Chris Seaver!
