[Halloween Treat] Watch the Guillermo del Toro-Produced Short “Shhh”!
Freddy Chávez Olmos and Shervin Shoghian’s award-winning fantasy-horror short film “Shhh” has been released online, just in time for Halloween!
“‘Shhh’ is a tale about a young boy, who uses his imagination to overcome his monstrous bully at night. Tired of being scared, Guillermo eventually takes matters into his own hands.”
The short is inspired by the lucid dreams of director Guillermo del Toro during childhood.
After viewing the film, Director Guillermo del Toro described “Shhh” as having “strong visuals and solid atmosphere.”
“Shhh” screened globally in over 30 international film festivals so far, spanning across 6 countries, including France, United States, Japan, Mexico, Spain and Canada.
The short received recognition for the team’s hard work, including winning:
Best Short at the 2013 Leo Awards in Canada
Best Production Design at the 2013 Leo Awards in Canada
Best Fantasy/Sci-Fi Short at the 2012 Rhode Island International Film Festival in the U.S.
Best Short Film at the 2012 Festival Internacional de Cine Puebla in Mexico
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
