Lake Michigan Monster
- Sunday, Oct 20, 2024, 6:00pm
From the mind of Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, co-writer and star of HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS, LAKE MICHIGAN MONSTER is a visually inventive, absurdist cryptozoology tale that combines the spirits of Lovecraft, Raimi, and MST3K and is guaranteed to appeal to the big kid in all of us. Shot on a shoestring budget in black and white, this irreverent ode to classic monster movies of yesteryear finds Captain Seafield (writer/director Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) wishing to slay the hellish sea monster prowling the murky depths. As Seafield’s vengeful obsession with the creature that killed his father consumes him, can his colorful crew hold the show together? Winner of the Audience Award for Best International Feature at the 2019 Fantasia Festival!

“If the creator of Spongebob Squarepants took all the drugs and created a Halloween episode, it’d look a lot like Lake Michigan Monster.” Joshua Speiser, Film Threat
“It’s a woozy, briny daydream. a gleefully idiotic antidote to everything. Lake Michigan Monster literally makes no sense, and that’s why you need to just hold your breath and dive in.” Richard Whittaker, The Austin Chronicle
