Well we got one more guest for yinz to enjoy at Grossfest 2026 but for Friday only as they couldn’t stay away from Grossfest any longer and beyond ecstatic to be hanging with us meeting all the Grossfest fans. You remember those beer commercials “with the most interesting man in the world”? Well this person is the real life version of that as they had to miss the past few Grossfest shows because of their investigating, writing, acting, panel production and starting new shops with jewelry and clothing! No lie this person is also an expert on the Bigfoot, werewolves, and those pesky aliens if you are keeping track… Without a doubt we could only be talking about “the most interesting and pure bad ass woman in the world” we like to introduce yinz to Christine M. Soltis!

So this was a delightful surprise for Grossfest 2026 as we haven’t seen such a talented and rising star in the independent genre maybe since the likes of no one? Seriously Grossfest fans this person has done it all in such a quick time as they have done over 65 projects in literally five or six years. This person is one of if not the hardest working talents in the independent film business as we speak! Their presence on screen is literally eye popping and we can assure you they will be making it to Hollywood like a Tiffany Shepis. This wildly multi-talented person can play any role you ask of them and disappear in the character to bring them to life like no one else before them; if acting isn’t needed they do make-up, stunts, direct… This person is paving a new way for talented people in the industry and as soon as their name is mention yinz all will agree. They have been in projects such as: Night of the Axe, Wolf Hollow, Debbie Does Demons, Amityville Ripper, Waspzilla, Crackcoon, Night of the Dead Sorority Babes, and many more! It is absolutely our exciting pleasure to introduce yinz to the ultra-talented … Angel Bradford!

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!

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!

Just when yinz thought we at Grossfest were done? Nope, we have one more! This person isn’t just another pretty face as their presence is beyond invaluable in front of the camera and behind. When they are not producing a film or ramping up to write more scripts they also do some local (Pittsburgh area) theater work. Ever since they showed up for an audition for a 2012 independent favorite called ‘Everyone Must Die!’ you knew they would be undeniably one of the brightest stars to ever grace the no budget screen. They might be known for such titles as: The Meowy movie series, Shingles: The Movie, and Head Case but what shows off their talent the most with little effort in all phases of filmmaking is their work with the CarousHell trilogy, Amityville Christmas Vacation (one of our favs), and Curtains For Christmas. This talent is so damn good and sweet they allowed themselves to be filmed in a segment for the anthology ‘Tales from the Gross Side’! We are always happy to see them but never been more excited to introduce them… We like to introduce all of yinz to one of the friendliest and hardest working talents in the independent scene… Aleen Isley!!!

Oh Grossfest fans we got one more for yinz to meet, enjoy, and have fun chatting with in August at Grossfest 2025. This person has taken an interesting path to get where they are as they are out of the state of New York. I would say they are a fresh face to the genre but they have done so much in a short span of time in front of the camera as an actor and behind the camera also that it makes you wonder when this awesome talent has had time to sleep. You may know this impressive talent in such films: She Kills, It Kills, Frozen Sasquatch, House Squatch, Cocaine Werewolf, and more shark films than Maddie Deering (the shark film expert) could imagine! A lot of yinz Indy fans will quite enjoy this major staple in and around Polonia Brothers Entertainment allow us to introduce yinz to the super cool Jamie Morgan!

This announcement should come as no surprise as this person has been one of the biggest supporters of Grossfest but also they are a local (Pittsburgh) talent with an exceptional personality that just stands out like non one you ever met. They are not just a triple threat but a whole lot more as they are a writer, actor, and director, you name it this person has done it or about to accomplish it. We at Grossfest would like to introduce yinz all to the wonderful, the handsome and always smiling… Jason Burke! Go check Jason’s work out:

Well fans we have another guest announcement and yinz can thank us at the show for this one. This person had busted out onto the Indy scene in 2018 with acting in a few short films but got their big break with the feature ‘The Curse of Lilith Ratchet’. Ever since then this person hasn’t looked back on becoming one of the hardest working actors in the Indy scene. Their talent, charm, and work ethic make them hard to miss on screen as their presence on film has made them one the hottest upcoming actors to have in an Indy project. You may know them from such titles: Debbie Does Demons, XXX-mas, Waspzilla, Killer Campout Part II, Crackcoon, Blood and Breakfast, with a host of other upcoming projects! But wait there is more as this wonderfully talented person is about to add writer/director to their list of credits with their own project ‘Martian Girl Massacre’ segment that will be a part of the ‘Amityville Aliens’ project (so of course massacre and Amityville made the Gross brothers ears perk up). We are proud to announce someone we know yinz are all gonna love having at Grossfest 2025… we like to introduce yinz to Morrigan Thompson-Milam! We enjoy this young lady’s passion and drive to conqueror the Indy genre in 2025 so please go check out her work sooner than later:
