Stream or Die is Back Online… with Zombies Made of Clay
Another day, another update…
On Thursday evening, we returned from the unplanned hiatus and the technical difficulties (read as “Justin’s slip-ups”) were expansive. Yet, in the end, we have a handful of truly interested and engaged fest goers enjoying the SpaceBrains3D rendered re-release of Jake Jolley’s 2021 Clay Zombies. Clay Zombies 3D was a hit and after some more technical difficulties, Jake hung out to do a live Q&A that will also drop on our podcast feeds this weekend!
Instead of the looping 4 hour blocks of each other day, we decided to just loop CZ3D every 90 minutes so everyone who wants to enjoy the wacky fun can hop on. Currently playing now, it’ll be playing again at 8:30am EST, 10am EST, 11:30am EST, and 1pm EST.
We’ll be adjusting the schedule for the rest of the festival to run from 7pm EST each evening instead of 6pm, as a great deal of those joining in are East Coasters and 6pm is a bit early for several folks. This entire experience has been a bit of an experiment that we’re refining as we go. But for a donation of your choice, you simply can’t go wrong… besides, the community aspect has been a blast and the films are all going over like gangbusters!
Check out the remaining days’ programs below and tune into the Instagram daily for the daily blocks, complete with the film order and special surprises!
All programs will play at 7pm EST, 11pm EST, 3am EST, 7am EST, and 11am EST.
