THE TROLL 2 FAN FILMMAKING FRENZY!!

Are you a filmmaker who's become infected with the TROLL 2 phenomenon? Can you steal a camcorder and create a masterpiece on par with the great film itself? Well, the makers of BEST WORST MOVIE and the stars of TROLL 2 want to see your fan film! FilmmakingFrenzy.com will be holding a special contest where TROLL 2 obsessives from around the world will be invited to contribute their short films (up to 6 minutes in length) to be screened for the audiences at the Nilbog Invasion!

Details are on their way, but the contest begins on April 15 and runs through May 15. Once the final films are in, they will all be watched by the TROLLCON organizers as well as viewed and rated by the public at large! There will be several screenings through the TROLLCON weekend! Top prizes will be awarded at TROLLCON by George 'Farmer Waits' Hardy, Michael 'Joshua' Stephenson and other cast members of TROLL 2!


LOCATION!
The NILBOG INVASION will take place in downtown Nilbog, and our homebase address for all our events will be at:
250 N. Commercial St.
Morgan, UT 84050
Here's a Google Map link!


Tickets are available in advance or before each screening! We'll be enjoying TROLL 2, TROLL and THE CRAWLERS under the stars in glorious 35mm on our gorgeous larger-than-drive-in sized screen! Just bring along a blanket or folding chair and take in the most entertaining and bizarre cinematic experiences in Utah's history!

SCHEDULE FOR NILBOG INVASION DAY 1: FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 2008:

5:00 PM - WELCOME TO NILBOG! - Be greeted by your soon-to-be goblin comrades, pick up your official badges and enjoy some regional Nilbog hors d'ouevres!

6:00 - OPENING NIGHT "DANCE AND EAT" PARTY! - Nothing is more important to goblins than serious celebration, and the local welcome wagon will be on hand to make sure that everyone dances and eats like a true Nilbogian maniac! We'll have music (including Darren "Arnold" Ewing's supergroup and TROLL 2-themed bands!), mayhem and even some eats and treats from the Nilbog County Store! An unforgettable night of unabashed forest creature wildness, destined to go down in history!

Note: the BEST WORST MOVIE preview has been moved to Saturday night.

9:30 - RARE 35MM SCREENING: TROLL
(Dir. John Carl Buechler, 1986, 35mm, 82 min, PG-13)
- Though it admittedly doesn't have all that much to do with TROLL 2, this was the celluloid behemoth that paved the way for all things TROLL! Diminutive threats to mankind abound in this fantastical pseudo-family adventure! As if that's not enough, see Sonny Bono painfully transform into a magical forest!

11:00 - FLAGSHIP 35MM SCREENING: THE CRAWLERS a.k.a. TROLL 3
(Dir. Joe D'Amato aka 'David Hills', 1990, 35mm, 91 min, R)
- First 35mm screening ANYWHERE EVER of this extremely unofficial entry in the nebulous TROLL canon, this non-Nilbogian vegetation-based adventure concerns evil radioactive trees that use their limbs to tear apart ours! Filmed by the legendary D'Amato under one of his many pseudonyms, this film may not feature a bevy of hungry goblins, but it certainly contains enough foresty weirdness to earn its place in the TROLL family, uh, tree.

* * All screenings will be presented by the Alamo Rolling Roadshow, a mobile movie battalion arm of Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Cinema that has traveled the country for years providing 35mm screenings on their immense drive-in sized screen! Almost all films will feature a cast introduction and Q&A! * *
