There is an update on Dominic Wieneke’s award winning film, “Mr. Pointy”. The film won the Best Horror Short at the South Dakota Film Festival and was also a second place Audience Choice Award at the “Slash & Bash Festival” in Lawrence, KS. The film has been playing in festivals around the US and should be available online before Halloween! The film features a little girl who tries to convince her father that there is a monster in the closet. Another interesting note: Dominic’s niece, Kiera, made the poster for the film. Kiera is the daughter of Michael and Donna (Wieneke) Fischer and the granddaughter of Diana and the late Daryl Wieneke formerly of Lismore.
