NIGHTSTREAM, formed as a banner uniting five US genre festivals – Boston Underground, Brooklyn Horror, North Bend, Overlook, and Popcorn Frights – came to a close with Adam Rehmeier’s DINNER IN AMERICA winning the festival’s Audience Award.
“I’m thrilled Dinner in America resonated with NIGHTSTREAM’s audience the way it did, that this film is bringing people some much needed respite from the chaos of 2020,” says Adam Rehmeier in acceptance of his award. “Thank you to all of the people who have reached out to share how deeply they’ve connected with Patty and Simon. Your words are the cure for the pandemic blues. Hats off to all five festivals for coming together to create such a beautiful monster!”
