Am I the only one who gets hungry when he hears the title Stake Land? Part of it could be that at this point in the fest a lot of my primary functions are effectively shutdown and I've been ignoring the urge to eat and a good steak always sounds great at 3 am.At this point I'm on autopilot: Sleep. Stand in line. Screening. Camcorder. Blog. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
But enough whining. What I wanted to talk about is Stake Land and its director Jim Mickle. The picture at the top of the post is of Jim hanging out after the premiere of Red Nights. I've seen Jim at nearly all the midnight screenings hanging out and supporting the other films. Take that all you naysayers who think TIFF is snobby. Midnight directors buy their tickets, stand in line, and sit in the non-reserved section just like the rest of us.
Jim has been showing the Midnight Madness program mad love all week so lets throw some back his way. Get your tickets ASAP.
Stake Land screens:
Friday, September 17. 11:59PM Ryerson
Saturday September 18, 12:15PM Scotiabank 4
Sunday September 19 9:00PM AMC 2
You can purchase tickets from the official TIFF website.
