This past week I started working with the Screamfest Horror Film Festival (MySpace) in Hollywood, California and today I've learned some fantastic news. I was informed this morning that Screamfest will host the WORLD PREMIERE of David Arquette's directorial debut, The Tripper, which features Jamie King, Thomas Jane, Lukas Haas, Jason Mewes, Balthazar Getty, Paul Reubens, Courteney Cox and of course David. You can get more info on the film over at David's official MySpace page (tell him B-D sent ya) or read on for the official press release. Tickets are going to go fast, so keep your eyes peeled. The film revolves around a group of friends who escape to a modern-day Woodstock concert for a weekend of debauchery, only to be stalked by a fanatical killer determined to finish what he started years earlier.
