Damnationland presents genre-defying original works from Maine filmmakers that redefine the classic thriller and horror categories. Now in its fifth year, the Damnationland 2014 program will feature world premieres of six short films produced in Maine by Mainers especially for the Halloween season. These are dark, surreal, and fantastic pieces, and they offer film fans an excellent sampling of the talent producing independent film in Maine today.
This year’s Damnationland films represent the wide cinematic range of Maine filmmakers, and some brief info about each film is below.
