VIVID-ALT DIRECTOR WINKYTIKI TO BE HONORED AT SEATTLE'S FANTASY UNLIMITED ON MARCH 28 WITH MINI FILM FESTIVAL

WHO: Fantasy Unlimited, Seattle's popular adult products and movie retailer.

WHAT: The retailer will hold a 24 hour mini film festival honoring the work of Vivid-Alt's wildly creative director Octavio "Winkytiki" Arizala and will screen three of his best-selling movies back-to-back. The movies are "The Bad Luck Betties," "Man's Ruin" and "The Rebelle Rousers."

When I'm not taking photos, I'm either at the strip club or at a rock 'n' roll bar. I drive a truck…made in America. I survive on meat, whiskey and coffee."

WHEN: Friday, March 28th starting at 9am PT. Tickets are $10 each.
