As the Kickstarter project enters the final days of campaigning for post production funds the Manson hit man movie has released a stack of stills which paint an interesting atmosphere. The directors also took to reddit to explain the ethnic background of the shock rocker’s role.
When we set out to cast this role, it was intended for a native. Once Manson got involved we removed any reference to Pope being native from the film, for obvious reasons. This was all a big misunderstanding.

‘Let Me Make You a Martyr’ explores the perversion of the American dream in a forgotten culture of middle America. This story documents the lives of two characters who have fallen victim to tragic circumstances, June and Drew Glass – two adopted siblings (from different parents) who have fallen in love. We experience their struggle to preserve that love from the evil that encompasses the world around them. Drew had gotten himself into a great deal of trouble with their adoptive father Larry, who is a murderous criminal with a short fuse. As a result, Drew had to skip town and his whereabouts have been unknown for 4 years. The story picks up when Drew returns to try to make sense of his tumultuous past and rekindle the love he once had – this is the premise of our story. The first scene begins in an interrogation room with a detective (Michael Potts). The events that lead Drew to the interrogation are recounted in a series of flash backs.
