Co-directors Eric Griffin and Jake McClellan will join us for a live, in-person Q&A following the screening.
Eric Griffin (co-director) is a filmmaker, visual effects artist, musician, and co-owner of PatchTown Films with his partner, Casey. Eric began his journey into filmmaking while studying Graphic Design at Millersville University, where he spent time making short films and music with his friends. After joining forces with Adam and Jake in 2019, Eric’s focus turned to dive head first into the world of independent cinema. Outside of his day job, he writes, collects VHS, and watches any movie he can with his friends.
Jake McClellan (co-director), also known as Knucklehead, is a performer and filmmaker. They got their start in performing acting as NiteNite the clown at a local haunted attraction. Since then, Jake has directed and acted with his rotating characters in various theatre productions, nightclubs, and short films. He also produces queer after-hours events in the Central Pennsylvania area. Jake works alongside Eric and Adam proudly in creating fun films and immersive theatrical spooky productions.
