Springer produced and directed
The Hagstone Demon, a feature-length horror film starring indie-film icon
Mark Borchardt (subject of the 1999 documentary
American Movie), and underground cinema artist
Lung Leg.
The Hagstone Demon premiered at the 2009
TromaDance Film Festival in Park City, Utah and screened as a double-bill with
American Movie (1999) at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Springer's style has been criticized as derivative of directors
Stanley Kubrick and
George A. Romero. Springer was called “a filmmaker who sees nothing as taboo” by Film Threat in 2002, and named “most audacious filmmaker” in his native state of Minnesota in 2002. == Filmography ==
