Jimmy and Stiggs is the debut feature film of production company The Horror Section, founded by filmmaker and actor Eli Roth in partnership with Media Capital Technologies (MCT). The film is currently on a “roadshow” promo tour across the U.S. featuring private screenings followed by a Q&A with writer, director and actor of the film Joe Begos. Jimmy and Stiggs was shot over four years on gritty 16mm film and incorporates “some of the most insane practical effects ever committed to film,” according to its press release. In a drug-fueled fever dream rollercoaster, an out-of-work filmmaker (Joe Begos) spirals into madness after an alleged alien abduction and recruits the aid of his old friend (Matt Mercer) to prepare for war in this over-the-top frenzy of a film. Tickets can be reserved at horrorsectionstudios.com.
