MR. PUMPKIN 16mm Short Film Writer/Producer/Editor/Director: Daniel Erickson Associate Producers: David Lane Smith & Monte Williams Cinematography: Ivan Bigley Music: Fred Remmert & Fred Mitchum Art Director: Robert McBride Production Artist: Danny Garrett 1987 Bronze Award, Houston International Film Festival 1987 Festival Finalist, American Film Festival Starring Jacob Anderson, Cindi Williams, Monte Williams, Alexa Platt, & Robert Burns "Mr. Pumpkin is a very funny tale about a boy who imagines that the candle-lit pumpkin in his bedroom is turning into a monster. The 19-year-old filmmaker, who wrote and directed, demonstrates remarkable self-assuredness in the technical aspects of filmmaking and possesses a well-developed and wry sense of humor." - Patrick Taggart, Austin American-Statesman Oct. 6, 1986 "Mr. Pumpkin is a tight, intelligent thriller working as much from atmosphere as shock." - Austin Chronicle, Oct. 30, 1987 Read an article from the Austin American-Statesman |
