On the eve of his short film’s premiere screening at the SXSW Film Festival<\/a> in Austin, Texas, over the coming weekend, Bygone Behemoth <\/em>director Harry Chaskin has sent us two posters as an update. I love this one (click to enlarge):<\/p>\n

Based on the response we’ve received to our article on Bygone Behemoth<\/em><\/a> — where you can read a bit about it and check out the trailer — the film is generating a lot of interest and should go down well with the SXSW audience. I wish I could be there — though Austin, Texas, is rather a long way from Wollongong, Australia. If I had the money, it would be worth the trip, though; as it happens, Bygone Behemoth<\/em> will share the festival program with another much-anticpated film featured here on the Backbrain<\/a>: Monsters<\/strong> (UK-2010; dir. Gareth Edwards).<\/p>\n

I love they way Stephen Chiodo — who wrote and directed Killer Klowns From Outer Space<\/em> and was responsible for the SFX and creature design of films such as the Critters<\/em> movies, Elf<\/em> and King Cobra<\/em> — described Bygone Behemoth<\/em>:<\/p>\n

“A well crafted and poignant tribute to the Golden Age of Monster Movies that inspired everything we see today. A heartfelt homage to all us dinosaurs in Hollywood.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The following poster contains details and times of the SXSW showings of the film (click to enlarge):<\/p>\n
