Pittsburgh based indie horror icon Vogel (August Underground, The Resin Tower) makes his first appearance at Buffalo Dreams to screen his new thriller, The Final Interview. Vogel will receive this year's Indie Genre Spirit Award. In The Final Interview, a journalist desperate to salvage his career stages a live TV interview with a notorious convicted murderer hours before the man's execution, and the two engage in a suspense filled psychological game of cat and mouse. Co-producer Shelby Lyn Vogel and stars Grainger Hines and Damien Manuscak will join Vogel in a Q&A.

NYC auteur Fessenden (Wendigo, The Last Winter) will be represented by Depraved, his modern take on the Frankenstein, which will be the festival's Closing Night Feature.  Fessenden helped pioneer "arthouse horror," which has become popular with such films as It Follows and The Witch. A disillusioned field surgeon suffering from PTSD makes a man out of body parts and brings him to life in a Brooklyn loft. Fessenden will not be in attendance as he is directing a new film.
