“Being from a small country is not an obstacle but a plus because you have a story no one has heard of,” Lithuanian actor and showrunner Gabija Siurbyte (“Troll Farm”) told the TV Beats panel during this week’s Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event, hosted by the Black Nights Film Festival. It was the kind of optimism and can-do spirit that characterized the industry forum, which comprised an impressive range of industry panels, workshops and pitching sessions, as well as including a few innovations of its own.
Having shifted the schedule of the festival a week earlier – thereby avoiding Thanksgiving weekend – it has managed to attract a number of important industry figures, including producer Gale Anne Hurd, who gave two talks and offered inspiration from her career as well as answering questions about the role of AI and the end of the recent strikes, siding firmly with the unions and berating...

Based on the artwork that accompanied the original crowdfunding campaign for this film, I was expecting something of an Italian horror inspired British-lensed horror… After all the title referenced one of the most famous Italian horrors of the 80s and the artwork gave me House by the Cemetery vibes – it also looked a Lot like the old VHS artwork for Sorority House Massacre… All of which got me very excited to see what Demons at Dawn had in store.
I shouldn’t have got so excited.
