Webb Wilder's Amazing B-Picture Shorts

Webb Wilder, the 'last of the full-grown men", lumbers through a shadowy southern gothic underworld flush with casino cash, trailer trash and alien invaders in this definitive black and white 'Hillbilly-Noir" comedy compilation.

Webb's short THE SAUCER'S REIGN became a cult classic on the A&E Network and USA Network's Nighflight in the late 1980's spawning a rock band, a recording career and the two other films included here (HORROR HAYRIDE and SCATTERGUN). Webb's films blend "southern fried surrealism" (New York Daily News) with "fertile field of free-form word play that reflects a literary undepinning"(Los Angeles Times) resulting in a uniquely droll comic tone that has earned fans nationwide.

The films are the collaborative work of native Mississippians Webb Wilder, record producer and songwriter R.S. Field and Austin based filmmaker and teacher Steve Mims. Joe Bob literally says 'Check it out."

The DVD includes WEBB WILDER, PRIVATE EYE: THE SAUCER'S REIGN, WEBB WILDER'S HORROR HAYRIDE and four new Webb shorts: LIFE IN THE VAN, A GUITAR FETISH, DRUMMING WITH JIMMY and WEBBFEST '06.

Three additional bonus films made by Steve Mims round out the DVD: TANK 47, god/man/accordion, and AUNT HALLIE.

The festivals included in this piece represent a partial list of the competitions that the films on the dvd have played in. I didn't have room to put in the broadcasts and awards, but those include the Chicago International Film Festival Silver Hugo Award for Horror Hayride, The American-Soviet Film Initiative Award for Aunt Hallie.

Thanks, Steve

Steve, No disrespect meant at all. I promise. I've got Cornflicks and have just about wore it out. I love it. I've been following Webb since the 80's when he played a bar in Lexington,KY. I force everyone I can to listen to his music while in my vehicle or in my abode, most are converts and want to know more.

Yep, those are festivals all right.
