NEW YORK PREMIERE OF
MULTIMEDIA HORROR EXPERIENCE
‘HEAD TRAUMA’
Tickets are $12 for Museum members/$18 for non-members and may be purchased online at www.movingimage.us or by calling 718.784.4520.
As audience members approach the museum, they will be invited to participate in Weiler’s cinematic alternate reality game (ARG). Once the game-play begins, the film’s story and characters will mix with the Astoria neighborhood. There are hidden clues, ringing payphones, and characters from the film scattered throughout the neighborhood. Through text messaging, distribution of a cryptic comic book, and cell phone calls, the experience continues into the theater.
During the film screening, a live soundtrack will be performed by DJ Chief Wreck ‘em and The Quavers, a Brooklyn-based band that weaves the effects of low-tech electronics such as walkmans, vibraphonettes, and footpedal loopers, into their rich harmonic songs. The performance will have theatrical support from stage props and characters that emerge from the audience. The audience will also be encouraged to use their cell phones during the screening to interact with the film.
In Head Trauma, a drifter who returns to his dead grandmother’s house is haunted by feelings of paranoia and troubling visions of a mysterious hooded figure. He comes to believe that someone or something is trying to kill him. Head Trauma will be preceded by the short animated film Ray Harryhausen Presents The Pit and the Pendulum (2006), a stop-motion short that reinterprets Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale.
After the audience leaves the theater the movie will follow them home. Phone calls and text messages will lead audience members to a series of online hidden clues and sites that expand the story of the film. As the ARG unfolds online viewers can contribute video, audio, and stills, thus becoming collaborators within the evolving story.
For a detailed overview of the game, visit http://htmob.com/nydeck.pdf. “Cinema has classically been a passive experience. The Head Trauma cinema ARG creates an immersive story that allows audience members to interact with horror in a new way. The story of Head Trauma and its characters travel across mediums and devices, along the way creating a horror 2.0 experience that combines technology with scares. It’s about creating a world that the audience can move through, one where a scare can come from anywhere,” says Lance Weiler.
Lance Weiler is a writer/director whose digital feature, The Last Broadcast, is currently distributed in over 20 countries. It was the first all-digital release of a motion picture and enjoyed runs on HBO and IFC. Weiler is recognized as a digital pioneer for the way he makes and distributes his work. He’s been featured in Time and Forbes and on television programs such as Entertainment Tonight and CNN. Wired Magazine called him “one of twenty-five people helping to re-invent entertainment and change the face of Hollywood.”
About the musicians: DJ Chief Wreck’em has been creating soundscapes for years consisting of an ecclectic mix of jazz, space, and ambient noise. He has scored short and feature films with a focus on horror related projects.
The Quavers consist of songwriter/singer/guitarist/sampler-wrangler T. Griffin and violinist/singer/sampler-wrangler Catherine McRae along with frequent collaborators Dennis Cronin on vibraphonette, lap steel and trumpet and Bruce Cawdron on drums and glockenspiel. The Quavers evolved from a T. Griffin solo project into a duo project with Catherine McRae that recorded 2004's The Sea Won't Take Long under the moniker T. Griffin Coraline. Their new CD is called LIt By Your Phone.
Saturday, July 16 6:30 p.m. Head Trauma Multimedia performance by Lance Weiler 2006, approximately 84 mins. New York Premiere. Directed by Lance Weiler. With DJ Chief Wreck’em and The Quavers. In this innovative and playfully unsettling interactive multimedia event, the story of a drifter who returns to his grandmother’s abandoned house is brought to life in a collision of movies, music, gaming, and theatrics. Characters emerge from the audience, the DJ provides a live soundtrack, and your mobile phone becomes a cinematic gaming device. Followed by a discussion with the filmmaker. Preceded by the stop-motion short Ray Harryhausen Presents: The Pit and The Pendulum (2006, 7 mins., video. Directed by Marc Lougee).
It’s Only a Movie: Horror Films from the 1970s and Today continues through July 22. To view the series press release, visit www.movingimage.us/press/pdf/horror_060507.pdf

MULTIMEDIA HORROR EXPERIENCE
‘HEAD TRAUMA’
Cinematic alternate reality game accompanies performance
As part of its groundbreaking retrospective “It’s Only a Movie: Horror Films from the 1970s and Today,” the Museum of the Moving Image will present the New York premiere of Lance Weiler’s Head Trauma on Saturday, July 14, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. This multimedia event mixes Weiler’s film, a psychological horror thriller, with live music, theatrics, and a unique alternate reality game that expands the experience beyond the theater.
