Local independent film fans have a new reason to head to the Point Edward Memorial Arena on April 19, 2026, as Sarnia-based production company Film Schtuff Inc. takes part in the 11th Annual Sarnia Pop Culture Show. The event will offer attendees a chance to meet the local filmmaking team and pick up physical copies of their latest film release.
Managed by filmmaker Sean Johnson, Film Schtuff Inc. is known for its comedic horror style, which draws inspiration from cult films like The Evil Dead and The Toxic Avenger. The company previously gained attention for the 2021 release of Inner Earth Attacks: A Love Story. That feature, which follows a couple in a post-apocalyptic world, was filmed primarily in the Sarnia-Lambton region at local landmarks including the former Sarnia General Hospital and the old Murray Street school in Corunna.
The Sarnia Pop Culture Show, which runs from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, has grown into a major community fixture since it was founded in 2013 by Trent Rogers and Terry Wardell. The event continues to support St. Clair Child & Youth Services, with organizers having raised over $25,000 for local mental health services since the show began. Last year, the event saw a record-breaking turnout of more than 1,500 visitors.
Admission to the show is $10 at the door, with free entry for children 11 and under. In addition to the film showcase, the day includes over 100 vendor tables, cosplay events, and interactive exhibits. Those interested in the work of Film Schtuff Inc. can also find their past projects on the Troma NOW streaming service or at local retailers such as The Cave on Davis Street.
