GARDEN PARTY MASSACRE and Gregory Blair Claim Two More Awards This Weekend!

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Jan. 19, 2018 - PRLog -- The crowd-pleasing screwball comedy meets slasher spoof GARDEN PARTY MASSACRE added another pair of accolades to its pedigree this past weekend from the Zed Fest Film Festival directors:  the key cast was named "Outstanding Acting Ensemble" and writer/director Blair was named winner of the esteemed Phil Tucker Spirit Award which is presented to one filmmaker each year for determination, perseverance, and innovation in independent moviemaking.

"I'm beyond thrilled to have received this top honor from the Zed Fest team," Blair admits, regarding the Phil Tucker Spirit Award. "When you make an independent film, it's a mix of passion, perseverance and luck that will result in something you just hope will be worth watching. So, to have people like the result is always a relief. Then to be honored…that borders on the unimaginable. I feel incredibly fortunate that I had so many talented people to help me make the film what it is. That's part of why I love the Ensemble Award so much, too:  because it's always an ensemble effort when making a movie."

This makes three Zed Fest Film Festival awards for GARDEN PARTY MASSCRE, since it won "Outstanding Horror Comedy" previously. The film has also won two Los Angeles Academy of Film Awards ("Outstanding Horror/Comedy Feature" and "Outstanding Ensemble"), a Hollywood Independent Filmmaker Award for "Narrative Feature: Comedy", "Best Comedy" from the Artists and Aliens Film Festival, "Best Film" from the Lucky Strike Film Festival as well as FANtastic Horror Film Festival awards for "Best Feature", "Best Actress" (Nichole Bagby) and "Best Editing" (Brett Noborikawa).

GARDEN PARTY MASSCARE is Blair's follow-up to his much-lauded DEADLY REVISIONS and is a fast-paced, wacky spoof in the vein of Shaun of the Dead and Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.  The fun begins when a friendly backyard gathering goes hilariously awry as an unexpected guest arrives.  With a pickaxe.  And an attitude.  It's a screwball brew of murder, mirth and mayhem that critics have hailed "Hilarious!", "Brilliant!" and "A Comedic Romp!" (Search My Trash Filmsite, The Movie Sleuth and Geek Nerdery, respectively).

GARDEN PARTY MASSACRE is a PIX/SEE Productions film and stars Andy Gates ("Grimm"), Nichole Bagby ("On The Rocks"), Lise Hart ("Deadly Revisions"), Gregory Blair ("Love That Girl"), Dawna Lee Heising ("Samurai Cop2: Deadly Vengeance"), Matt Weinglass ("Jimmy Kimmel Live!") and David Leeper.
