Q &A Skype with Dick Miller on opening night June 26
Introduced by Winnipeg filmmaker and writer (They Came from Within: The History of Canadian Horror) Caelum Vatnsdal who is currently writing a biography of cult B movie legend Dick Miller.
If the name was brought up you would be hard pressed to say who Dick Miller is but if you saw any of these movies – The Howling, The Terminator, Gremlins, An American Werewolf in London or Rock ‘N’ Roll High School – you would recognize him in a second. Miller excelled in small but memorable roles ranging from a vacuum-cleaner salesman (Not of This Earth) to occult-bookshop owner (The Howling). Appearing in over 175 movies and an endless list of TV series, That Guy Dick Miller is a beautifully made and surprisingly funny documentary featuring rare film clips and interviews with Miller’s directors John Sayles, Joe Dante, and Roger Corman.
