‘Tinsman Road’ Poster Teases A Chilling New Found Footage Experience [Exclusive]
With his latest film Tinsman Road, Robbie Banfitch is taking found footage to new emotional heights. Both devastating and terrifying, Banfitch’s second feature film emanates vibes of the iconic Lake Mungo while also forging its own heart-breaking path. Ahead of the film’s world premiere at the Unnamed Footage Festival, Dread Central is excited to exclusively reveal the poster, as well as a haunting poem.
Read the film’s full synopsis below:
Independent to the bone and shot fully on gritty 4:3 Mini-DV in the backwoods of New Jersey, Tinsman Road takes the audience on an emotionally winding voyage into the wilderness of death and sorrow. The story centers on a young man as he navigates the serpentine mystery surrounding his long-missing sister and their family home.
Now check out the poster!
The Tinsman Road filmmakers also provided this poem, written by the missing sister:
THE BLOOM
by Noelle Lyle
with her wither
moan and shiver
ghastly gaping gasping flicker
go she gently, wished the whistler
tilt the wilt ‘pon thrones of wicker,
pluck the morsels of her maybes
wrap a worm around her daisies
rot the knot and dark shall lick her
furl her last uncurling finger
bellow madly, chirped the maggots
death’s a most ungodly habit,
herd our flocks to steep your sockets
surge the flesh of deeper pockets
graze the gray of paler pastures
churning squirming yearning raptures
rake her ringlets
dust the tendrils
string the strands in swollen tangles
toast the maiden
swill the swallow
burst the ripened blood-wet hollows
flood the valleys
rush the red
unknown dances lie ahead,
sing adieu to falling flowers
browning vines and failing powers
drying rivers
diving doves
regretful lips – unspoken loves
memories of aging minds
the final dirt of humankind
so whisper greatly to the dying
a last farewell and here’s to trying.
Leslie Ann Banfitch, (her real-life son) Robbie Banfitch, Salem Belladonna, Heather Middleton, Nancy Bujnowski, David Fekety, Keith Bixby, and Noelle Faccone star in Tinsman Road.
Banfitch wrote and directed the film. He also produced it with Beau J. Genot and Robert Abramoff. Salem Belladonna composed and performed the film’s music.
Tinsman Road will have its world premiere at the Unnamed Footage Festival on March 28, 2025. It’ll also screen at the Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, California, on Saturday, May 3, 2025. Banfitch will be in attendance at both screenings.
