Mission Statement
I'm a veteran from midwestern, white-trash means who likes to see stories made with an underprivileged perspective. My mission now is to surpass the quality of my last feature film, while incorporating more women and POC in front of and behind the camera whenever possible.About The Project
Chicken House is a Comedy/Horror based on a true story about four actresses living together. When one actress decides to move to LA, she finds a stranger on Facebook to rent her room. The stranger turns out to be a lot more wild and experienced than anticipated and comedy/horror ensues.
THE STORY
A new wild roommate, Cat, moves into a house of apprehensive, private actors and get’s them to loosen up until they find there might be a paranormal source to her heathenism.
Logline: A new roommate shakes up the lives of 3 actresses, 2 Latter Days Saints and a poltergeist.
Inspired by a mixture of female exploitation films, and irreverent comedies.
Mean Girls meets Crystal Fairy and the Magical Cactus and The Exorcist.
THE LOOKWe plan to shoot a combination of handheld and static zooms on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k.
The visual look inside the house we are going for are the Chloe Sevigny scenes of Harmony Korine’s Gummo. This includes set design and iconic wardrobes and hair/makeup styles.
THE CHARACTERSCharlie - Charlie is a non-binary lesbian still coming of age. She’s also very sexually frustrated because of her youth and shyness. She’s the heart of the film.
Mary Ann - utterly devout, the sweet one until she decides Cat is possessed by A demon. She might be on to something though…
April - Boisterous and Funny, the comedian of the group. Spends a lot of time loving her long distance boyfriend.
Cat - Indescribable new roommate. If Dennis Hopper had a baby with Billie Eilish.
Our plan is to shoot June 14-28. Because we are shooting the entire film in one house, this will make it much easier for us to quarantine together. Currently the majority of our cast and crew have been vaccinated and we're working for 100%.
Shooting a movie during covid? Yes, this is our job and we're helping other artists pay their bills who's careers have also taken a hit during covid. We're film workers just like any other industry, but we promise we are taking safety seriously and fully believe in science. And we love our cast and crew and want them to be healthy and happy. :)
