Do you believe in love? How about the undead?

The Webster University Film Series is hosting a fundraiser for Poetry Scores' (formerly Hoobellatoo) "Blind Cat Black".

This locally produced film features St. Louis rapper Toyy Davis and a cast of locals including Jason Wallace Triefenbach, Don Erickson, Ray Brewer, K. Curtis Lyle, Stefene Russell, Brad Young and many more.

The film is directed by Chris King, writer and editor of the St. Louis American, shot by Chizmo and edited by Aaron AuBuchon.

From the press release: "We are billing 'Blind Cat Black' as 'surrealist sexy hip-hop zombie cinema from St. Louis,' which pretty much sums it up. The film is being shot to the existing musical score to an epic modern Turkish poem about the Istanbul underworld."

"In the auditorium, we will screen rough cuts of select scenes from the film, and the director will spiel about the fine art of filming a love scene on top of a pile of zombies. Though we will let all of our naked footage roll at the Bottleworks, most of the benefit event will be dominated by the local musical performance group SHed SHot, which will premier its own short film, 'Legendary Sand,' and lead a live musical score to the German Expressionist silent film classic 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.'"

(not to be confused with the great 90's film, "Cabinet of Dr. Ramirez" by Mikhail Baryshnikov and Peter Sellers, though it pays homage.)

The night will kickoff at 8 p.m. at the Winifred Moore Auditorium, 470 East Lockwood on the campus of Webster U. Suggested donation is $5. It's a steal at any price so feel free to contribute more.

Following the event, Poetry Scores will host an afterparty at the Schlafly Bottleworks, 7260 Southwest Avenue in Maplewood, where the beer will flow (no drinks at Webster's auditorium) and Poetry Scores will screen some of the rough footage they have so far.

Note: This event was Saturday night, March 10.
