Dick Dale

South Australian's Dale Dale has been creating short horror and bad taste comedies (award-winning and/or nominated) filthy films since 1993. Dick is also guilty of being a scarred veteran of fronting self destructive punk rock bands since the mid 1980's. He is a repeat offender of other associated crimes (spoken word performance, scapegoat event organiser) in the underground music counterculture. He spawned and has been curating the infamous and irreverent Trasharama-ago go Film Festival which is now celebrating it's twenty Fifth year. Trasharama is the premiere and undisputed nastiest film Festival in Australia. It annually screens short horror, bad taste comedy and other cinematic oddities from all over this planet. It now runs in cahoots with Melbourne's Monster Fest each year. His labor of love, first feature film Ribspreader contains all the aesthetics of his creative life moshed into 90 minutes of madness, splatteriffic fun and cartoon punk rock mayhem! It has so far been selling out screenings' to very positive reviews at the Adelaide Film Festival and Monster Fest. It recently took the Audience Favorite award at the Adelaide International Film Festival and won Best Picture at 2022 Monster Fest. Being an Independent genre film this was quite a feat.
