A.K. Espada's I COULD JUST DIE, AND THAT WOULD BE ALRIGHT

Perfect for the sweaty days of late summer, Atlanta-based filmmaker A.K. Espada has put together a night of Southern Gothic films to premiere her new short I Could Just Die, And That Would Be Alright, highlight the works of southern talents and provide a great networking opportunity for genre filmmakers in the south.

The Gothic South event will take place at Atlanta's Plaza Theatre on October 4 with screenings starting at 7pm and an afterparty starting at 10.

The synopsis of Espada's terrifyingly-titled I Could Just Die, And That Would Be Alright reads as follows:

Trying to end her life, a depressed woman allows the violent creature that roams her neighborhood at night to attack her. But her plan backfires when she wakes up the next day doomed to a life of undead immortality.

Here's the full lineup of the night:

- BRACKISH - Christa Boarini (Florida)
- VIOLET BUTTERFIELD: MAKEUP ARTIST FOR THE DEAD - Brooke H. Cellars (Louisiana)
- EAT YOUR HEART OUT - Giovanni Tortorici (Georgia)
- I COULD JUST DIE - A.K. Espada (Georgia)- 20-minute Q&A with cast and crew of I COULD JUST DIE
