Robert W. Filon's Athena (2013) starring Matthew Ewald.
Hot off it’s festival premiere at the Mad Monster Party Film Festival in Charlotte, NC, the teaser trailer for Robert W. Filion’s Athena is ready to burn the whole trailer park down! By combining couture fashions from designer Louis Machicao with a stellar cast composed of genre veterans such as Matthew Ewald (G.H.O.S.T. & Galidor) and Vanelle (Muticia’s Movie Morgue & RAGS) and adding grotesque special FX from Starr Jones – Robert W. Filion’s Athena is sure to please genre fans as much as it will appeal to fans of good old fashioned love stories.
You heard about the response to the Athena teaser at Mad Monster Party and you want to see what the fuss is all about. You’ll have to wait until 2013 to see the whole thing – but for now you can enjoy the first official trailer. Check it out right here on Trailer Park Thursday at Mutantville.com.

Come see the Athena teaser at the Tales From Mutantville premiere Friday at 7:30pm and then again on Saturday at 7pm before the Ghost Trek screening.

Nevermore Film Festival 2011 with Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Thank Muticia it’s Fridayyyyyyyy!!! Welcome back to another edition of Fridays with MVP! We’ve had another action packed week here at Mutantville.com so sit back, buckle in and chomp on your bit because we’re taking off!
To recap the past week, we didn’t make it into Nevermore, but we did get accepted to ConCarolinas. Post-production is wrapping up on G.H.O.S.T. and Tales From Mutantville both of which will appear on DVD soon. The Nevermore Film Festival is next month and no doubt they will have a stellar lineup. I know already that Ti West’s Innkeepers is playing and I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. One month later, Mad Monster Party hits Charlotte and there are a lot of great events planned for it some of which have yet to be revealed – but I’ve heard things. . .
Congratz to our buddies Robert W. Filion, Michael Sharpe and Christopher G. Moore who all had films accepted into Nevermore this year! I’m sure that Dummy, Deviling and Flush With Fear will help make for a very strong short film lineup. I look forward to seeing them all on Saturday. Of course you know this means war. . .
Ok – enough about them. Let’s talk more MVP. But first – the leap!!! Continue Reading…

Streebo meets the stars of RAGS - Vanelle and Rags.
Welcome back to another edition of Mutantville Mondays here on Mutantville.com. MVP began a busy weekend by hosting a screening of Krist Rufty’s RAGS starring Vanelle and John Foutz. The movie was a throwback to the bygone days of 42nd street featuring a grimy tale of meth addicts gone mad on a mission of revenge. RAGS featured strong performances from the cast, pitch black comedy and some of the most over the top FX you’ll see outside of a Frank Hennenlotter film.
We have a long busy Winter ahead of us as Robert W. Filion and Brento work feverishly to prepare Indigo Child for the upcoming Nevermore Film Festival. The month ahead will seem quiet as we work alone to put the finishing touches on several MVP projects including G.H.O.S.T. and the Tales From Mutantville anthology. in between all this work – we’re trying to recharge our batteries by enjoying the wild and wonderful world of speculative fiction in all of it’s guises.
Since it’s Mutantville Monday – why not take a journey through Mutant TV to catch a glimpse of the many and varied ways that MVP celebrates, relaxes and recharges. Check out the trailers for games, movies, comics and more below. Continue Reading…
