Mutant Swinger from Mars
SOFaT and the Bad Film Society present: SOFaT is proud to welcome back to the region filmmaker Michael Kallio, who made his Southern Oregon debut doing the Behind-the-Scenes for "My Name is Bruce". Mike will make an in-person appearance at this screening! He directed, produced, wrote, acted in and did the special effects and music for the film. Afterwards, we'll hear from Mike how he created this great film. Before the main feature, the filmmaker will show "Heart of Dorkness" starring local celebrity Bruce Campbell. It’s the tongue-in-cheek “making of” special feature for the film My Name is Bruce.

About "Mutant Swing from Mars"
A 'long lost sci-fi film' from the 50's finally has been recovered! Aliens from Mars come to Earth and force a mad scientist to 'create' a 'chick magnet' to lure women so, they may take them to Mars because... MARS NEEDS WOMEN, of course! See infamous filmmaker, Orton's Z. Creswell's classic for the first time. Can Rusty save Mitzy from the fiendish, Frankenstein-ish clutches of, Fez Fleckman, the hippest cat in town? Will Martians kidnap all of Earth's women and send them back to Mars? Can Fez keep his mutant identity hidden? Find out in MUTANT SWINGER FROM MARS!!!
It's a cross between Young Frankenstein, The Nutty Professor, and all of Ed Wood's movies (with a SPLASH of This is Spinal Tap), and pays homage to all things sci-fi, horror and comedy. The film features the acting debut of Jack White of The White Stripes!
