San Francisco, CA – November
6, 2008 – Shannon Lark , CEO of The Chainsaw Mafia and Fangoria’s 2009
Spooksmodel, has resigned from her role
as Manager and Gore Wrangler of the zombie dance troupe The Living Dead Girlz. Lark
will be making personal appearances throughout 2009 representing FANGORIA
Magazine, and has also chosen to focus on numerous upcoming projects that will
allow her to continue to grow as an actor and filmmaker.
Dubbed “San Francisco’s Gore
Gore Girl,” Shannon Lark has created The Chainsaw Mafia, a film production
company and a free networking site facilitated toward horror fans and
filmmakers. Lark is a writer, producer, director, actress, and recently
Fangoria’s first ever 2009 ‘Spooksmodel.’ She will be attending all 2009
Weekend of Horror Conventions, and in addition will be unveiling her very old
chainsaw wielding solo performances at the scheduled events.
Lark is also director of the Viscera
Film Festival, dedicated to female horror filmmakers which she created back in
2006. The mission of the Viscera Film Festival is to give recognition through
participating sponsors, awards, and distribution for today's female horror
filmmakers making a difference in the genre.
Viscera accepts any films
that showcase women in major roles of production (i.e. writer, director, and
producer). There is also the coveted “Viscera Award” offering a monetary award
to the winning film involving female only productions. There are NO ENTRY FEES,
and submissions close on December 31, 2008. For more information please visit www.thechainsawmafia.com.
