Casey Rocket Casey Rocket is an Austin-based comedian risen from the ashes of the speed freaks who came before him. A southern belle by nature, Rocket’s comedy career began in the pool halls of South Georgia before his riff-flowers blossomed in the fertile soil of the Atlanta comedy scene. Since moving to Texas in 2021, The Crab Man went from living in his Ford Escape to winning the inaugural Austin Comedy Competition. After his stinky little victory, Daft Rocket (as no one calls him) successfully auditioned to join the first class of comedians at Joe Rogan’s Comedy Mothership, where he has since performed alongside some of the biggest names in comedy. Over the eons, Daft Rocket has brought his unique brand of riff-fueled nonsense comedy to SXSW, Skankfest Vegas, Kill Tony, the Boston Comedy Festival, and many more.

BLOODSPAWN **Theatrical Premiere of this locally-produced indie feature film, exclusively at the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse, with members of the cast and crew in attendance** A frontier-era gang of misfits band together to battle an ancient and evil bloodthirsty hellbeast of Native lore in this fun-filled classic folk horror popcorn movie with a unique retro look, style, and soundtrack. Buttered and seasoned with a healthy dose of old-school practical puppet effects rather than just all modern CGI elements, Bloodspawn plays as a nostalgic campy grindhouse-style homage to the creature features of the 1980s. Starring Raw Leiba (Bone Tomahawk), Roger Willie (Windtalkers), R. Keith Harris (AMC’s The Walking Dead), and Bill Oberst Jr. (3 From Hell). Runtime: 1 hour, 16 minutes. This film is not yet rated. Contains violent content which may be too intense for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.
