Pepper Negron is a New York filmmaker who has showcased his work in various venues. Most recently, his shorts have appeared in Latin Horror’s Horrorphile, a film event celebrating Hispanic horror flicks. His movies have received many positive reviews and he took some time out of his busy schedule to enlighten us about his work of art. 
Because the first one was so successful, our wonderful friends at the Latin Horror decided to give their fans a special treat – another screening! That’s right. If you missed the first one, here’s your second chance to screen some of New York’s finest talents of the horror genre. The event will be held on Saturday April 4, 2009 at the Anthology Film Archives on 32 Second Avenue @ 2nd Street and starts 6:30pm. Admission is only $6.
