OVERVIEW "Enter the Dagon" is a short film parody currently in production. It is being created with the intention of submitting it to the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon. The theme behind the film short is the struggle between literary purists and movie makers. On one hand you have fans of author H.P. Lovecraft who have the expectation of seeing faithful film adaptions, even if that is frequently impossible. On the other hand, you have film makers trying to appeal to a wider audience and make money...sometimes pimping and maiming the original source material into a shameful display. At the root of it all you have the author himself, who hated the medium of film. He claimed he never wanted his stories turned into film. So what happens? They make what has to be over a hundred movies based upon or inspired by his work....and even have a film festival in his honor. That is irony. If he were alive today, would he be thrilled by his posthumous fame....or horrified by a reanimated decapitated head attempting forced cunnilingus on a blonde in bondage in a film based on his work (Herbert West: Reanimator)? My guess is that it might be a bit of both. Our film deals with a serious fan's attempt at a faithful film adaption of a cherished horror tale, and the corrupted form it takes as it goes through the Hollywood process. My apologies to Stuart Gordon, -Tom Gleason, Director

	Tom Gleason Tom is the producer/director of Enter the Dagon. This is his first time at the helm. He spends his spare time hanging at www.diabolical-dominion.com and watching old Kolchak: The Night Stalker episodes. Tom cries like a baby whenever he watches Charlotte's Web.
	Scott "Jerry" Lawrence Scott is the director of cinematography and editor. He has previously co-directed the films "Inva$ion" and "Impact!". Both films are able to be downloaded from his web site www.cis.rit.edu/~jerry/Movie. He also likes cheese.
	Curt Markham Curt plays the role Crispin Eldritch. Which is only fitting since he also wrote the script. Curt has written and directed a number of other independant films including "Fear Face 92" and "Looking Backward". His film site is www.syntarsus.com. Curt says that Doctor Who is the Shiznit, and we believe him.
	John Karyus John plays the part of Dexter Burt Ward. He also contributed a lot during pre-production. John has worked on number of movies, including "Filthy McNasty". You can also see him in the upcoming horror film "Kottentail" (http://www.crazyralph.com/kottenpage.html off-line). We all secretly hate John because he has an IMDB listing and we don't.
	Jesse Edmund Jesse plays Stuart Corman in Enter the Dagon. Jesse is a stand up comedian and actor who has appeared in commercials and a couple of Mexican wrestling movies as "El Seudónimo". Much like David Hasslehoff, he is a legend everywhere but where he lives.
	Kevin Serwacki Kevin plays the role of Herbert East. He is also an artist and is trying to get a children's book published. Don't play with a yo-yo, naked, while there is a cat in the house. That has nothing to do with Kevin, but it's good advice anyhow.
	Thary Kok Thary plays a few roles in the film, including the role of Kim Wang Seng. She is a model and actress. She can be seen in films by Low Budget Pictures like "Bloody Giblets". LBP's Web site: http://www.angelfire.com/indie/lowbudgetpictures/ (off-line)
	Gil Merritt Gil plays the psychotic Jimbo Johnson Lee in Enter the Dagon. He also has created the world's goriest board game "Amputheatre" (http://www.amputheatre.com/).
