Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls (SUFF) - Closing Night

Closing Night

Sunday, September 10 @ 7:45pm

Before the closing night film, there will be a short awards ceremony!

Closing night is always a blast and this year we are celebrating weirdos of all kinds with the screening of ONYX THE FORTUITOUS AND THE TALISMAN OF SOULS by Director Andrew Bowser - One hell of a way to finish off the festival weekend!

Amateur occultist Marcus J. Trillbury, aka Onyx the Fortuitous, is struggling bigtime!. He’s misunderstood at home and at work, but his dreams for a new life seem to be answered when he lands a coveted invitation to the mansion of his idol Bartok the Great for a ritual to raise the spirit of an ancient demon. Joining Bartok and his fellow eclectic group of devotees as they prepare for the ceremony, it quickly becomes clear that everything is not as it seems. As Onyx and his new friends fight to keep possession of their souls, they must decide what they’re willing to truly sacrifice in order to meet their destiny. Based on his viral internet character of the same name, writer, director, and star Andrew Bowser takes us on a wild ride full of enchantment, friendship and laughter, with the right dose of black magic and satanic worship thrown in for good measure. It’s the perfect film to close out the festival, celebrating weirdos of all kinds!

"Bowser infuses Onyx’s feature film debut with endearing quirkiness, endless ’80s/’90s influences, and horror whimsy.” – BLOODY DISGUSTING
