Studio City Filmmaker Shares His 'Pure Joy'

Local filmmaker James Cullen Bressack’s first feature film is released today.

More than 3,000 fans of the highly anticipated indie horror flick have gathered in Facebook, anxiously awaiting the release of critically acclaimed 19-year-old filmmaker, then 18, first feature film, which is being released on Media Blasters’ FRESH MEAT Shriek Show label.  Release is now slated for March 13.

Pre-orders have been selling  well on Amazon for the past two months, fueled by consistently rave reviews on horror websites. The movie is set for large-scale American release in leading retailers nationwide, including Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and Fry’s among many others. While  Japanese fans can expect to be treated to a release in theaters in their country later this year.

MY PURE JOY tells the story of a deranged teenage serial killer whose unhealthy obsession with horror movies leads him on a killing spree of neighbors, friends, and family.  James Cullen Bressack, who has been labeled “," draws special inspiration from Asian directors Takashi Miike and Chan-wook Park. 

So although this Valentine’s day may not be a bloody one for fans and their girlfriends, every cloud does have its silver lining:  Media Blasters has released the artwork for the MY PURE JOY’s disc and DVD cover.

Here is a trailer to keep you tided over until the release:

I wish the media had countered Garcetti's claims with an examination of the facts and had exposedRead More his relationship with BIG development. Only the LA Weekly covered these stories--keep reading it and keep posting.

Oh, it was under announcements and not opinion so that is why I did not understand the post whichRead More appeared as facts.

Presumptuous? What about my "endorsement" is presumptuous. You don't really need toRead More respond😃, I just didn't understand the comment.

I attended N.H.H.S. in the mid-seventies. Mr. Reeves and Mr. Moelter were two of my favorites.Read More Loved Mr. McLeroy for Sociology.

great article Mary! Ms. Korney, she sometimes scared me to death! But always around christmas IRead More think of her and pronounce my letters clearly at the end of a word when I sing. I can still remember the song I had to sing for my final, "If ever I would leave you..." She taught me a lot. I agree with everything you said about Mr. Reeves. I had Mr. Pesin for Algebra, he did nothing to help further my math skills. The biggest flirt around, ick. We had a girl in school at the time that flirted her way to an A and hardly ever went to class. Go figure!! I also thought quite highly of Ms. Requiam. Glad she's still around.
