For our next Grossfest 2027 guest announcement is an unbelievable talent on screen as their presence is unlike anyone you have seen. Over the past decade they have acted in over two dozen independent films as their presence on screen makes fans out of everyone seeing them for the first time. They have been in projects such as: Plank Face, Space Babes from Outer Space, Slaughter House Slumber Party, The Embalmers, The Barn II, Fatal Desires, and Hobocop, with more to come in 2027. We like to introduce all of you to this great rising star as there can be only one… Alyss Winker!
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.)
Our next guest for Grossfest 2027 is just an absolute sweetheart who has taken the independent world by storm with her perky, peaceful, joyful talent and personality. But don’t let that fool you as this actor has been hard at work the past six years showing off at break neck speed what they got to offer in such titles as The Legend of Crick Foot, Killer Campout II, The Slasher Nurse, Return of the Corn Zombies, along with many other soon to be released titles Crackcoons, Shriekshow 2, and In the Midnight Hour, Black Sheep! Of course we can only be talking about the lovely Chanda Rawlings!
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!
