Congratulations to Matt Risoldi for his nomination for C-47 Best Actor 2013!
Matt Risoldi tackled the role of the monster. His interpretation of Mary Shelley’s character brings the monster “to life” by connecting with the audience. He provides a compassionate character who later falls from innocence.
From “Land of the Nerds”: http://landofnerds.com/2013/12/28/steampunkfrankensteinsmonster/
<<What I really liked about the film was how actor Matt Risoldi portrayed the Monster. Instead of Electrodes, he had a steam apparatus attached to his neck, releasing steam in bursts as he talked and moved. Risoldi towers over the rest of the cast. He emotes well, and is quite believable as the Monster. The Monster is sympathetic, even to his creator for a moment. He screams, he rants, he rails, it is the Monster, not the Mad Scientist, who admits that he “IS ALIVE!!!!”>>
A quick announcement for those in the Houston-Galveston area. Frankenstein’s Monster will be screening at Twisted Gears at the University of Houston in the EE. Oberholtzer Residence Hall Saturday, March 1st at 6:30pm in room 3B. We will be having a mini-panel afterwards.
Twisted Gears is run by University of Houston Steampunk Association which focuses on steampunk. From their site:
“Twisted Gears is a one day mini convention for both Steampunkers and anyone new or is interested in the world of Steampunk. There will be many workshops and panels such as “A Gentleman’s Duel,” where one can learn the official rules of said duels during the era, and “Cane Martial Arts” such as the one shown in the Sherlock Holmes movie. Plus, by registering, either pre-reg or at the door, you are able to enter the night giveaway where some neat prizes awaits. And speaking of night, the day comes to an end with a nice dance for any ladies or gents to dance, mingle, and socialize.”
A Dream Production is another local film company scheduled to attend. Other guests include the Airship Dionysus and DJ Silver Wolfe to name a few.
Thank you so much Rosecity Steampunk Film Festival! We are honored to have been part of your festival lineup!
Oregon is one of the key places in the US that supports steampunk arts, culture and technology. This festival is an important part of continuing that endeavor.
One of my favorite things about the convention circuit is participating in panels. I enjoy speaking about filmmaking, steampunk, literature, and screenwriting. SpaceCityCon’s panel is up there on my list. It was my pleasure to join Matt Risoldi (monster), Christopher Lowe (tech. dir, props), J’Nean Henderson (costumes), and Peter Kovic (co-editor, documentarist) to talk about the challenges of microbudget filmmaking. One of the things I love about our larger panels is that we share our tools and tricks we used for making a film. -Judith B. Shields
From Land of Nerds:
“Christopher recommends that to build props for a low-budget film you need to find someone who can take a look at random bits of things found in a hardware store. Just a little imagination and a few bits of scrap can go a long way to building some amazing props.”

Moon Sedai wrote a wonderful review of Frankenstein’s Monster. In praise of the film she wrote:
“The focus of this film is, at the heart, the story, not the blood, gore, and tech. The film is beautifully done despite the low budget.”
Strong words of praise were also given to Matt Risoldi (Monster) and the cinematography(Slava Vlad). But we won’t spoil that here.
