Earlier this month we brained you all with a cool new one-sheet for Andrew Bowser’s half-horror-documentary-half-classic-monster-movie JIMMY TUPPER VS. THE GOTAMAN OF BOWIE. Well, I’m glad to say Mr. Bowser himself was cool enough to drop AITH an exclusive new poster for the film, one that recently premiered at this year’s SXSW Film Festival. Get a full gander of that shite underneath!
Clocking in at a brisk 70 minutes, the flick is written, directed, acted and edited by Bowser – whose prior filmmaking credits include the 2005 short A WINTER OBSERVED, and the 2009 comedy THE MOTHER OF INVENTION. As for his newest venture, here she is:
JIMMY TUPPER VS. THE GOATMAN OF BOWIE is an innovative and quirky film that challenges the notion of found footage and what it means to be scared in the woods. Jimmy Tupper (Andrew Bowser) is a no one, he’s nothing. He spends his days working at a Starbucks in Suburban Maryland and his nights drinking and playing Rock Band. His friends see him as the resident stoner and waste of space. One night they decide to pull a prank on poor Jimmy and, while he is passed-out drunk, they leave him in the middle of the woods of Bowie, Maryland.
The next day Jimmy is nowhere to be found. When he finally emerges from the woods he is beaten and bloodied and making outlandish claims. He says he’s seen a monster, the famed “Goatman” of Bowie. His friends believe this to be the drunken ramblings of an overexcited nitwit, but Jimmy knows better. He heads to the woods determined to capture footage of the elusive creature and prove what he knows to be real. Was Jimmy only dreaming? Did he really see a monster? Only time, and Jimmy’s video camera, will tell.
Sounds like a rollicking good time, no? Tell us if you think the poster looks as fun as the description of the flick sounds!
