- **Event Name**: A Night With James Van Bebber: Dead Beat at Dawn & The Manson Family
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 09 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Independent filmmaker James Van Bebber, and Dayton Local, is a legendary underground director whose uncompromising vision helped define American cult cinema. Known for his raw intensity, DIY filmmaking ethic, and fearless storytelling, Van Bebber gained international recognition with his debut feature Deadbeat at Dawn (1988)—a gritty, hyper-kinetic revenge thriller that has since become one of the most celebrated independent cult films of its era.

His follow-up passion project, The Manson Family (2003), pushed boundaries even further. Shot over more than a decade on a shoestring budget, the film blends documentary realism, experimental filmmaking, and psychological horror to explore the crimes and mythology surrounding Charles Manson and his followers. The result is a disturbing, hypnotic work that cemented Van Bebber’s reputation as one of the most uncompromising voices in underground cinema.

Influencing generations of DIY filmmakers and embraced by cult film audiences worldwide, Van Bebber’s work stands as a testament to the power of independent filmmaking outside the Hollywood system.
