Week 2 (June 28 – July 4) – Dawna Lee Heising: Our beautiful QWEEN

The film wastes no time getting to the action. An earthquake strikes Los Angeles—a scenario we have seen a thousand times—but with a twist: the tremors reveal a prehistoric subterranean ecosystem. Out of this fissure emerges a winged dinosaur — on fire, no less — with a grudge against humanity.

Directed by Dustin Ferguson, who wrote it with Ken May, this is a 60-minute movie and 10 minutes of credits, so it’s not a big time investment for you. 

The cast includes Butch Patrick as Mayor Myers; indie streaming queen Dawna Lee Heising as Laurie Myers; Stacey Nelkin from Halloween 3 as Dr.Cochran; Ferguson as a stoner; Mel Novak as Roy Rollin and Ken May as Dick Steel: Bounty Hunter, who has energy blades that might be able to stop a cryptid or whatever this giant bird is and by halfway through the movie, it’s killed Eddie Munster, Dawna and Mel Novak. 

Can a monster movie be shot on an iPhone? This movie says yes.
