For our last guest announcement of Grossfest 2027 comes a person that literally could be called “the most interesting man ever” as their career has taken them all of the world. Their face is one when you immediately see it you know the name instantly. They are not just a director, but an unbelievable actor with an overwhelming presence on screen that isn’t often seen in the independent genre, and over the past year they have created an online channel that has taken the internet by storm. This amazingly talented human has made appearances in such projects: It Stains the Sand Red, Scare Me, Amithyville Hex, The Barn II, Bathtub Shark Attack, and Murdercise. Most of us independent horror movie fans know this person for the classic “Pool Party Massacre”. A lot of non-horror movie fans would know this person for his streaming show on social media called “Drew Cooks”. Let us introduce you all to the real life version of the most interesting man ever… Drew Marvick!

Our next Grossfest 2027 guest announcement is someone a little different but is known for their hard working filmmaking style in all aspects of movie making. This individual graduated in 1999 from college to work on many short films, music videos, etc., before they decided to direct their first feature film in 2002 called “The Icing”. Not too long later formed Cheevies Films with his wife and where by 2016 he and his wife became constantly busy in features and short films, doing everything from producing, directing, writing, you name it this couple did it. Horror movies, kids stuff, off the wall projects. In such a short time this person has gotten to direct and produce over three dozen films and he and his wife show no signs of slowing down. You may have gotten to know this down to earth couple vending at Grossfest but for the first time allow us to introduce this wonderful person as a guest as we can only be speaking of this Chicago based talent… Derek Braasch!

So our next Grossfest 2027 guest announcement should not come to any surprise as her directorial smash debut I:Scream – A Minty Musical put the independent community on notice she is just not another pretty face. She may be known for her work in front and behind the camera in such titles: Amityville Christmas Vacation, Curtains for Christmas, and the Caroushell series. But her unbelievable directorial hit has all of us in the independent community excited about what she does next? Of course we can only be talking about the lovely, the multi-talented, the absolute beauty of a person… Aleen Isley!

For our next Grossfest 2027 guest announcement you know we cannot have Grossfest without him. His last film Caroushell 4 has taken this independent filmmaker to new heights of popularity in the independent community and makes us question how much longer before he takes his talents to the big time as he collects awards for several of his most recent projects and is just getting started. There is only one person in the room we can give this to: we like to introduce the man, the myth, the Grossfest legend… Steve Rudzinski!

So for the next Grossfest 2027 guest announcement this youthful duo needs no introduction as they have seen and done it all in independent cinema as they are past Grossfest Lifetime Achievement Award winners. This cute duo truly oozes independent filmmaking through and through as their careers have spanned over five decades and not stopping now as they have us super excited for their next project that starts production in Spring 2027 called “Dracula vs. The Groovy Chick”. We are beyond honored and happy to have the ones and only David and Diana Silvio! (P.S. as you can see one picture can say a thousand words about these two.)
