From September 15-17 at the Greentree Radisson, join us for Genghis Con II: The Wrath of Con!

In addition to the guests-of-honor above, Genghis Con, PA will be host to independent filmmakers from across the country who have been working in the field to provide audiences with brand new entertainment not commonly seen at your local megaplex. Happy Cloud Pictures was founded in 1997 by Amy Lynn Best, Bill Homan and Mike Watt to produce independent horror and comedy motion pictures in Pittsburgh. Their award-winning features include Severe Injuries (available world-wide through SRS Cinema) and the upcoming “zombie- noir” The Resurrection Game.
