  Writer/Director Dick Dale Our friends over at TRASHARAMA have finally made available the film that started it all. BLUE DOG marks the origin of Australia's nastiest, most repulsive film festival of them all. Writer/Director Dick Dale spent a year putting this little sucker together with NO money, a bunch of mates and a shitty VHS camcorder. Kicking off with hilarious home-made title cards the film has been described by Dale as a "DIY PUNK RAWK ZOMBIE GOREFEST" and I can't think of a better way to describe. it. With copious amounts of red stuff, goopy stuff, wobbly stuff and tin-foil - the film showcases a gnarly, hysterical and passionate filmmaking exercise. Made in 1994 this cheesy splatterfest was first screened the Crown & Anchor Hotel in Adelaide to a motley audience of punkers, derros and scumbags and it laid the foundation of what was to become TRASHARAMA a few years later. Dick Dale is one of our favourite people here at FakeShemp.Net and his contribution, support and obsession for independent genre filmmaking makes him a cinematic legend in our books. And so here it is - BLUE DOG!! Presented in 3 parts, this awesome little depravity is surprisingly well made. Deliciously aged and grainy, it's also well shot and edited. The intentional humour works the treat and Dale's objective is well and truly realised.
