Prior to the debut screening of the film, there will be a live musical performance by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Diatom Deli, whose songs are featured in the film.
THE BRIDE In the shadowy, cryptic and solitary world of The Bride, a woman, garbed in a wedding dress and veil, directly engages the mirror and its ghostly witnesses, as she confronts internal pressures— rooted in family, self-image and societal expectations—while undergoing a stark and dramatic metamorphosis.
Originally from Brooklyn, NY, novelist, poet, performer, playwright and filmmaker, John Biscello, has lived in the high-desert grunge-wonderland of Taos, New Mexico since 2001.
He is the author of six novels, Broken Land, a Brooklyn Tale, Raking the Dust, Nocturne Variations, No Man’s Brooklyn, The Last Furies, and No One Dreams in Color; a collection of stories, Freeze Tag, two poetry collections, Arclight and Moonglow on Mercy Street; and a fable, The Jackdaw and the Doll, illustrated by Izumi Yokoyama. He also adapted classic fables, which were paired with the vintage illustrations of artist, Paul Bransom, for the collection: Once Upon a Time, Classic Fables Reimagined. His plays have been staged and performed both nationally and internationally.
