Hi r/movies! I’m Joe Begos! Filmmaker behind VFW, Bliss, & Christmas Bloody Christmas. My new movie Jimmy and Stiggs is a blood-drenched, alien-infested, DIY sci-fi horror shot over 4 years in my apartment with a crew of maniacs & hand-built effects. Coming to theaters on August 15. Ask Me Anything!
About Jimmy and Stiggs: A shitstorm of bad news sends out of work filmmaker Jimmy Lang (Joe Begos) spiraling into an out of control bender, during which he claims to have been abducted by aliens. Fearing they’ll come back, he contacts his old friend Stiggs (Matt Mercer) to help him gear up for war. When the sun sets, the duo are thrown into a hallucinatory explosion of aliens, drugs, booze, and all out carnage. Joe Begos is back! And this time, he’s brought his A-game with a drug-fueled, wall-to-wall frenzy that pulls no punches from the moment it begins. Channeling the hectic, chaotic brilliance of Jackson, Raimi, and other masters, Begos infuses his own unique tone and craftsmanship into JIMMY AND STIGGS. This film also showcases Begos’s acting chops, delivering a physical performance that’s part Keaton and a whole lot of Campbell. A wild and wonderful ride that truly deserves to be seen in the cinema with like-minded lunatics.
