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

0

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!

Our next guest announcement is always one of my favorites at a convention as her presence on screen always jumps out from the movie and she is just as awesome meeting in person. Her work as an actor has been great but the more intriguing recent move that I think will be absolutely delightful is her move to directing as she recently finished up a horror musical “I: scream” which I believe will have independent film fans begging her for more… Of course we are introducing to Grossfest 2026 the lovely, the talented, the beautiful Aleen Isley!

Another staple of Grossfest as this person has pretty much accomplished everything you can in the independent genre. Honestly we have run out of good shit to say about this dude… He has won a Fango Award, Thirst Trap Award, hell we believe he won a title during an independent wrestling event? But most importantly he won the Grossfest Lifetime Achievement Award and our hearts; we are talking about the legendary Steve Rudzinski!

Over the past decade this person has directed and produced over forty films that started with such titles: “MILFS vs. Zombies” and “Frames of Fear”. Over the decade he has slowly carved a nice niche in the independent genre with popular titles: “Wrestlemassacre” and “Shriekshow”. But a couple recent titles really have the independent community celebrating his work with “Killer Campout 1 and 2”, “Crackcoon”, and “Cracula”… Yes Grossfest fans give this exciting filmmaker a warm welcome as it is… Brad Twigg!

This talented young lady is making her first convention guest appearance ever at Grossfest 2026. By time Grossfest rolls around she may have ten more films released she has been a part of. Her hard work in the past couple years has already paid off with her roles in “Bathtub Shark Attack”, “The Emasculator”, and “Wally Meets Popeye” as we wanted to have Grossfest fans meet her before she gets too famous or something… Of course we are talking about the one, the only, and also someone that argues with Tom Gross about hot dogs we like to introduce yinz to Carly Sonafelt!

This next Grossfest 2026 guest announcement should not surprise anyone as her presence on screen since she started her career a few years back has made her a must see in the independent genre. In the short time she has been an actor she has already worked on some stand out films such as Deathboard, The Legend of Crick Foot, and A Cheesy Christmas which proved with each project she will be a favorite to see for many years. We can only be talking about the entertaining young lady… Melissa Sapienza!

And yet another Grossfest 2026 guest announcement

This young starlet had a weird several month period in 2025 that side tracked her life and career that caused a late minute cancelation for Grossfest last year. Now back on track of her complete domination of not just being a star in the independent genre but someone Indie fans will always remember as her drive and confidence in the amazing film work she does is remarkable. She continues to branch out in writing and directing as we hope Grossfest 2026 will be even bigger because of her presence we can only be talking about Morrigan Thompson-Milam!

We have a returning guest for Grossfest 2026… but this isn’t just any returning guest as the QUEEN HAS RETURNED TO PITTSBURGH! Yes Grossfest fans this wonderful talent isn’t just a pretty face in the independent filmmaking crowd. You would know her as a director, a producer, a writer, editor, or some would know her as THE QUEEN OF SCREAMS. Her anthology film “Body Count” that played at Grossfest two years ago pretty much cemented she is a force that people must take notice of in the independent genre but we know her as the absolutely entertaining talent… Jenn Nangle!

First Grossfest 2026 guest announcement!

0

For our first guest announcement for Grossfest 2026 it only makes sense to have someone whose career that started in the mid-80s and hasn’t slowed down a damn bit! Projects like “Goblin”, “Zombie Rampage”, and “Sorority Babes in the Dance-A-Thon of Death” were Indie cult classics among video store nerds. Hard to find films that were talked about like myths around a campfire at summer camp until a little project he made “Zombie Bloodbath” hit the scene in 1993. His name was soon mentioned with the likes of the Polonia Brothers, Donald Farmer, Jon McBride, etc. As the 2000s came his career may have seem to slow down a little but that was just this legendary (I don’t say that lightly) talent gearing up for the second stage of his career that gave such weird and wild horror titles: “House of Forbidden Secrets”, “Dreaming Purple Neon”, and “Bonehill Road” with him not slowing down as it seems his career is now running on more caffeine than most humans have in their life we have the pleasure to introduce to Grossfest fans… the man, the myth, the legend… TODD F’N SHEETS!
