The first of a series of interviews on the upcoming screenings and DVD release of THE DAY LUFBERRY WON IT ALL, a short multi-speculative genre film based on the adaptation of the short story by R. Thomas Riley (from his collection, THE MONSTER WITHIN IDEA, Apex Book Company) by Roy C. Booth and John F. Mollard to be produced by Frosty Moon Omnimedia:

R Thomas Riley sez: “Looks like Roy C. Booth and I will be guesting on The Funky Werepig sometime in the very near future. Details are being hammered out now. Roy and I will be pimping The Official “The Day Lufberry Won It All” Film Page and discussing the experience of adapting the story into film form. There may also be some tease announcements, if I know Roy :)”

A film script written by John F. Mollard and myself, an adaptation of R. Thomas Riley’s apocalyptic dark fantasy short story “The Day Lufberry Won It All” (from his collection THE MONSTER WITHIN IDEA, Apex Publications) will be filmed late this spring by Frosty Moon Omnimedia, the same people behind the Sportsman Channel TV shows The Nebraska Experience, Wolfpack Bowhunting with Eddie Duncan, and the soon-to-premiere Tagged Out.
