Lander Film Festival Celebrates 15th Anniversary with Special Events, Including Discussion on Monster Culture and Roger Corman
March 17, 2025
“Roger Corman, while working with low budgets and fast shooting schedules, became a legend in Hollywood for his influence on young filmmakers and his ability to make a profit,” says Jameson. “I’m hoping that festival attendees will enjoy taking this trip with me through the early days of his career, before all the accolades, when he was helping shape the monster culture of American drive-in cinema.”
Jameson noted that the presentation was originally written for the 2024 PCAS/ACAS Conference (Popular Culture/American Culture Association in the South), partly as a result of teaching her English 403 course. The original version of the presentation was only about 20 minutes long. Jameson plans to expand the original ideas and will change a few things to cater her discussion to the festival audience.
