More than 75 years before Astoria became widely known for The Goonies, Short Circuit, and Free Willy, it was already the site of an important early motion picture: The Fisherman’s Bride (1909), directed by Francis Boggs for the Selig Polyscope Company.
On September 23, I premiered a short trailer inspired by that lost silent film, timed to coincide with the ribbon-cutting for Astoria’s new Duane Street Film Mural. That pairing felt especially fitting, since the mural honors Oregon’s screen history, including The Fisherman’s Bride.
HIS MONSTER, the haunting new feature from Writer and Director Erich Cannon, will make its steaming premiere Monday, October 5th on Apple TV and Fandango At Home, introducing a whole new audience to a chilling, character-driven genre film that blends psychological horror with raw emotional realism.
