A Norwegian Nun Prays For Help Funding Her Hellish Habit
With ‘Kill Sister, Kill‘ hitting the stage in NYC this month it seems we are in the midst of a nasty nun revival. ‘Sister Hell‘ is the latest penguin toned terror to escape the convent.
«Sister Hell» is a short film about a reclusive nun who is tempted to leave the monastery. Her dream is to become a curvy, voluptuous woman; to become how she really feels inside. With cautious steps, she ventures towards the sinful city…
The short has already been described as a mixture between Ken Russell and John Waters, and sports a series of outrageous characters, practical FX and buckets of WTF! The short was written during last years visit to Fantastic Fest in Austin, and is inspired by the energy and sheer insanity of the experience.
There’s already buzz of excitement around the project from the genre community based on the filmmaker’s past body of work. His 17 minute Lovecraftian film is available online to watch for free & should give you a taste of what he is able to achieve. The filmmakers are now passing around the collection plate on Indiegogo looking to complete the film.
Now, dearest genre lovers, we need your help to finish the film properly. The editing is almost done, but we need a little extra funding in order to finish up the music, sound design, color grading, and VFX. All those things are critically important to the final film and it’s essential to us that it looks and sounds as AWESOME and MIND-BLOWING and GUT-WRENCHING as possible – and we hope you will agree!
You can keep take vows with ‘Sister Hell‘ here & like her on Facebook for more social media blessings
