Ready Teddy took home Best Short Film honors at Blood Bath 2: The Film Festival tonight. In the film, Brad Stephens plays Paul McCartney in a story filled with action, dark humor and enough blood to bathe in. Shot in the Dallas area, the film made its début earlier this year at the Trail Dance Film Festival, winning two awards including Best Dark Comedy.
The six-minute short screened earlier today to a very eager crowd of horror enthusiasts. In attendance were writer/director Jerod Costa and actors Mickey Finn (Elvis), Scott Barber (John) and Brad Stephens (Paul). Awards were presented this evening at the Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff, Texas.
