Since I couldn’t make it out to Udine Far East Film Festival this year, I’m going to try my best to keep up with its coverage around the Internet. If your covering the festival this year either as media, blogging, videos or photographing, please let me know.

Udine 10 @ a Glance – April 23rd

Horror Day I believe is currently rolling along today at Udine 10. What frights and gaps will we be able to report in tomorrow with from everyone around the Internet? The only shocking thing at the moment is a picture (view here) showing Udine programmers and staff doing a group massage for a guest. I can it’s not very often you see a festival roll out the red carpet like this. Though maybe it wasn’t a massage, maybe it was one of those, “We looooveeee your moooovieee so much!,” kinda moments!?! For those at Udine 10, I can offer up a fright of a different kind. Walk about a block and a half south of the movie theater and grab a bite to eat in the pizza parlor on the right. You will be shocked as hell to get served by the waitress, we like to call (cue horror sound effects) – The Mustache Lady! While some females do seem to always have a wee bit too much hair around their upper lip as a sort of garlic repellent towards any advances someone might make on them, The Mustache Lady has a full on grown out mustache.
