‘Baskin’ Director Back With ‘Housewife’ at Frontières Co-production Market
With the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival fearlessly taking place in spite of recent terror attacks the Montreal born Frontières co-production market will join the event for a third time. As movie industry professionals from across the globe convene in the city an array of filmmakers will be looking to connect the dots in collaboration, hoping for a charm to birth their genre projects. Fresh from cracking eggs filled with blood over the Easter long weekend, Baskin director, Can Evrenol is one of the selected few to pitch his newest fear flick.
Put your palm to the screen after taking a look at the exclusive debut of the title treatment for Housewife. With the tagline of “There’s Only You, And Your Dreams” it’s a mystery as to who or what the titular character will be. By the looks of those nails it’s safe to say you will be in the clutches of another nightmare from the Turkish director.

Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
