Jim Isaac (USA 2008)
Cowriter/coproducer Robert Mailer Anderson and cowriter Zack Anderson expected to attend

Deep country bliss turns into a verdant hell when John (Travis Aaron Wade), his girlfriend, and a group of buddies head out from San Francisco for a weekend of pig hunting. At the remote ranch of John's uncle, who has died under mysterious circumstances, the city slickers soon suspect a ravenous 3,000-pound black boar is rampaging through the forest. They also discover other malevolent forces in their midst—including a heavily armed clan of rednecks, a machete-toting cult leader and his emu-raising, pot-growing crew of femmes fatales. There are cameos and music from blues harp legend Charlie Musselwhite and Primus's Les Claypool, who provided the brooding funky original score. Paying homage to drive-in cinema as well as more mainstream fare like Deliverance, Jaws and The Road Warrior, S.F.'s own writer/producer Robert Mailer Anderson and director/producer Jim Isaac have come up with a darkly comic hell ride with a uniquely Northern California sensibility.
