История

Louise Weard is a filmmaker of many hats with a degree in Film Semiotics. Hailing from Western Canada, she emerged in the underground horror community with her breakout body-horror featurette Computer Hearts and established CyberCraft Video with her filmmaking partner, Dionne Copland, in 2016. She has been obsessed with deeply personal movies that push the envelope for as long as she can remember, which culminated in her winning a Most Fearless Performance Award in 2015 for her short film S.I.D.S. in which she played herself as a transgender woman seeking a back alley surgery. In 2016 she produced the micro-budget queer horror feature Cuties followed by the drama Cold Wind Blowing, which released in March of 2022. You can find more of her work in Vancouver's Transgender Expressions Haven Art Gallery and the upcoming book Divergent Terror: The Crossroads of Queerness and Horror.

100 Best Kills: Texas Birth Control, Dick Destruction
Director
100 Best Kills dates back to the earliest days of Fantastic Fest, a cornerstone of the fest’s grand tradition of lowbrow pandemonium. In previous years, we’ve focused our knee-slapping man-reaping sights on everything from vehicular mayhem to gut-busting infanticide. We brought you Vehikills and decapitations during the pandemic years; You sick and depraved fools still couldn’t get enough! We were banging our heads against the warm walls of the Alamo and it must have been the perfect mix of patriotism and stupidity that opened the floodgates to creative genius. For this, my hungry hippos, we said to ourselves, We must bring in Louise Weard, Filmmaker, writer, programmer, and even a Canadian, to join our very own Zack Carlson to help make this the greatest kills of all time. We proudly raise the flag, salute your shorts, and present 100 BEST KILLS : Texas Birth Control, Dick Destruction... A celebration and reliably comforting countdown of castrations.
