Written and directed by Rodney Ascher.A documentary-cum-horror film about the scariest corporate symbol in history, the 1964 Screen Gems logo, aka The S From Hell. Built around interviews with survivors still traumatized from viewing the logo after shows like Bewitched or The Monkees, the film brings their stories to life with animation, found footage, and reenactments.Programmer's Notes: It's a pleasure to welcome the truly original Rodney Ascher (http://www.rodneyascher.com/) to the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Ascher, who boasts an extensive resume (shorts galore, music videos with Liz Phair and Sparkle Horse, projects with VH1, EA, etc), as well as a colorful exhibition history (SFFMOMA, the Hyperion Tavern, a funeral home in Baltimore, and the UCB theatre), finally brings his experimental and often funny work to a snowy Park City. 'The S From Hell,' Ascher's newest opus, is a documentary about the 1964 Screen Gems logo. For those that remember the symbol being quite creepy, t watch
A Starz Originals production. Dr. Goode brings out the inner child of former 'Karate Kid' star Ralph Macchio. Also, singer Liz Phair opens up about her love life. watch
