Calendar Girl - Derek Lindeman (Runnemede, New Jersey) In this very dark romantic comedy, a young woman’s poor taste in men may become the death of her when she tries to find love with a prospective murderer.  An elusive Calendar Girl Killer has been terrorizing Philadelphia, stalking and killing a different woman each month to complete his morbid calendar of unwilling pin-ups.  The year is now nearly over, when a taunting letter to the press has Ari convinced that she's destined to be Miss December.  Strangely enough, she can't help but be a tad flattered. . . Calendar Girl is a tongue-in-check blend of mystery, horror, and comedy that's all about finding true love in the very bleak month of December. Starring Jensen Bucher, Gilbert Gottfried (Problem Child) , Corbin Bernsen (L.A. Law) and Brain O’Halloran (Clerks). 2011; 99 min. With in-person appearances by director Derek Lindeman, producer John Guarnere, Jr. and lead actor Jensen Bucher!
