The Story
A while back, women were filming their husbands and boyfriends trying to wipe up a spot of ketchup on the counter. Otherwise known as "The Ketchup Challenge." Over and over, this trend showed men smudging the condiment around, making more of a mess. And we laughed, and laughed, and laughed because...well, because it was typical man behavior, right? Household clean-up is not something they know how to do; we collectively know this, see it, and joke about it. But underneath this seemingly innocent ineptitude lies a roiling and age-old frustration with the disparity between the skills instilled in women and men in domestic labor.
Enter Vermin, our short horror film.
Taylor's wife, Anna, has just filed for divorce. The couple is in that break-up phase that's completely raw. Anger and spite dwell. Some of Anna's things still need to be picked up. Closure hasn't come yet. Taylor has been left alone in their shared house as they begin negotiating their divorce. He isn't exactly keeping up with the things that normally fall under Anna's care: the dishes, the laundry, the electric bill, and general tidiness fall to the wayside. A once stylishly decorated apartment is buried underneath sloppy disregard. But he isn't concerned about any of that...not yet, anyway.

Lighting and composition are critical to this film. As Taylor struggles to confront his feelings and shortcomings, his environment becomes a blueprint for his psyche. Cold darkness is broken only by small sources of warm light via candles and battery-powered lanterns--small moments of introspection ultimately defeated by crushing swaths of blues and blacks.
Don't Breathe (2016)
Production design will demonstrate a similar contrast; a modern home with art on the walls, clearly curated by his estranged wife, is in conflict with the mess that Taylor has begun to make - of himself and of his home. Decorative pillows are sagging; the good plates are used for take-out. One might think that the homeowner's teenagers threw a frat party while they were away.
Possession (1981)
Vermin will also primarily rely on wide shots to reveal this visual language, as Taylor's physical environment communicates how alone he has become. Alone and completely incompatible with the space he's living in.

Barbarian (2022)
Taylor is every man in those ketchup challenge videos. He isn't an abuser, and he isn't a fundamentally terrible guy, but he is a product of a heteronormative environment. He's emotionally stunted, emasculated by his failed marriage, and ultimately unwilling to accept his role in the fallout. One of the greatest misconceptions about character is that we must define who is "good" and who is "bad" with minimal and forgivable nuance, but Taylor is like many others. He's both at once. And he just won't get out of his own damn way.
Taylor is played by horror enthusiast Caleb Fietsam

When I wrote Vermin, I was reading Carol J. Clover's Men, Women, and Chainsaws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film and had just started my film analysis blog, The Aspiring Final Girl. So, it was subtext central for me, operating 24/7, and I was probably insufferable at parties.
Until Clover's book, I thought Final Girls were the most effective symbol of feminism in horror and that they justified my very "unlady-like" interest in horror (No, Mom, Nightmare on Elm Street is NOT a disgusting film; it's an intellectual's playground! God!)
Those familiar with Men, Women, and Chainsaws know that by defining the Final Girl, Clover wasn't saying they were liberated women; quite the opposite. To quote her here: “To applaud the Final Girl as a feminist development, as some reviews of Aliens have done with Ripley, is, in light of her figurative meaning, a particularly grotesque expression of wishful thinking. She is simply an agreed upon fiction, and the male viewer's use of her as a vehicle for his own sadomasochistic fantasies; an act of perhaps timeless dishonesty."
Translation: Whether victim or survivor, female characters in horror have historically just been a projection of male fantasy. The women who die in horror deserved it for, I don't know, take your pick: existing, having sex, wearing skirts, saying no to men. Women who survive suspiciously have unisex names. They are chaste. They dress like men. Neither are liberated.
Why am I giving you this lecture? I wrote Vermin as the Final Girl illusion shattered for me, part devastation and part liberation as I began screenwriting. I didn't feel obligated to write the next horror Girl Boss (though admittedly, I plan to in the future) simply because our gender aligned. I didn't have to justify my being here anymore. I felt free to write a male character for whom I got to define the parameters arbitrarily based on my experience with his gender. His experience in this film is based on my sadomasochistic fantasy! Sorry, Mom!
In all seriousness, though, this isn't purely a playground for my personal brand of comeuppance. This story acknowledges the yawning chasm of loneliness and vulnerability that men often pretend they don't feel. It's as harmful to them as it is to anyone else. Taylor reeks of it.
The tides of horror have already been changing. The kinds of films that Carol used in her book have been overtaken by more truly feminist genre icons (um, hello, Midsommar!), but Vermin is doing something beyond turning women into Final Girls. It asks what happens when men become the victims, most especially victims of themselves. Vermin is keeping pace with our current social consciousness.

We are in pre-production now; our shoot is scheduled for August 17th, 2024.
We're already seeing our initial budget disappear--like a ghost in the night. Our hope is to have Vermin complete by October 2024.
We need the success of this campaign to book our location, pay our cast and crew, and hire a post-production team. Once we succeed (with your help!) we plan to send Vermin through the festival circuit and premiere at a local LA venue!
Our initial goal is $8,500.
If we make this goal before the end of our campaign, we'd stretch our goal to $12,000, and we can:
- increase the cast & crew rates
- apply to more festivals
- hire an award-winning composer
- add to our location budget
- increase the quality of our VFX & color grading

Kristen Semedo (she/her) is a graduate of Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Film & Media. She spent her first two years in Los Angeles as a set dresser in the art department before becoming an IATSE Local 44 property master. During her undergraduate studies, she worked as a script coverage analyst for Phoenix Pictures. She has worked on dozens of short films, feature films, music videos, and commercials in multiple creative capacities, but screenwriting is her primary passion. Originally from the suburbs of Boston and having spent three years in Salem, MA, as a ghost tour guide (yes, really), she is self-diagnosed with what she calls a severe case of "New England-itis." In other words, her childhood was defined by Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe, likely explaining her fascination with the horror genre. In her free time, she feeds stray cats and works on her Goodreads challenge (currently, she's on book 12 of 20).

Josh (he/him) has a background in security engineering and has moonlighted as Kristen's gaffer on multiple occasions.

My name is Mick Mugnai (pronounced Moon-yai) and I am an assistant director working in Hollywood by day and a horror movie fan by night. As a reformed scaredy cat from my youth, horror was no longer something I avoided and quickly became something I craved. So, imagine my enthusiasm and delight at getting a chance to help my friend and fellow horror aficionado Kristen Semedo make a horror movie! From film student to film set, I have been immensely fortunate being able to make a living making movies. Getting involved with a team of professionals and artists to tell a story is a treasure to be coveted, and as the 1st AD I take great pride in the responsibility and privilege inherent in that role. With Vermin, there was a bonus. Not only was I lucky enough to help make a movie, I was especially lucky I could do it with my friends and for my friends. Cheers!

My name is Sam (she/her) and I am a Makeup SFX Artist with over 12 years of experience in Film and Television. A British native, I moved to Los Angeles 5 years ago (ultimately for the sunshine), but also to be in the entertainment capital of the world, where I get to be surrounded by fellow creatives. I have been fortunate to have worked with some awesome talent & create some great characters in my career; from micro to high-end budgets and everything in between. When Kristen approached me about ‘Vermin', I immediately read the script and knew I had to be a part of it, and I am excited to bring this disturbingly creepy element into this horror short.
I’m excited to be a part of this project with such a great team of people and see what spooky magic we can conjure up.
