THE LAST WINTER, by local director/actor/environmentalist and horror master Larry Fessenden has opened in select theaters to rave reviews.

Guillermo Del Toro (PAN'S LABYRINTH) says "Larry Fessenden is one of the most original voices to emerge in the horror field and THE LAST WINTER is his most accomplished work to date. He brings the Gothic trappings of the old classics to shocking new life."

The New York Times says "elegantly restrained horror ... metaphorically resonant ... Feverishly Real, Terrifying. Larry Fessenden is among the most thoughtful Americans
working on the lower-budget end of this oft-abused and mindlessly corrupted genre."

In addition to THE LAST WINTER, Larry can currently be seen in Neil Jordan's THE BRAVE one starring Jodie Foster, and he is involved either as a producer or actor in four upcoming 2007 WFF films, including TRIGGER MAN and LIBERTY KID.
