2017!
2017 was our first full year living in Los Angeles! Certainly a weird year in the world and that weirdness certainly seeped into our lives, but that did not stop us from having a productive year! One of the most exciting things we've ever done was to go to Vienna, Austria for the entire month of November as Artists-in-Residence - read all about that adventure here!
here’s what we looked like in 2017
Clickbait!
In December, we shot our fourth feature film, CLICKBAIT! The movie is presently being edited! Check out the site, str33ker.com for a peek at what it will be like.
Blood of the Tribades!
Blood of the Tribades was released on Blu-Ray (first as a limited-edition exclusive with the box subscription service, HorrorPack) and VHS (via SRS Cinema) and DVD! [https://launchover.com/launch/film/blood-of-the-tribades/ to find it everywhere!]
We also released the making-of documentary, The Blood is the Life that explored the themes and production via interviews with the cast and crew.
Blood of the Tribades was reviewed in the great, VIDEOSCOPE Magazine
We even landed some 2017 Best-of Lists!
Messiah's Trashy Top 10 - "my favorite first time viewing of the year. Like most of these, I did not expect to like this one as much as I did. Throwbacks are fine. Sometimes, they're more than fine, but never anything groundbreaking or remarkable, right? Well, not too long ago, I watched an absolutely gorgeous movie from 2016 that left me more impressed than anything I've seen all year."
This Is A List, Because They Matter Part II: Raul’s Top Ten Indie Horror Picks Of 2017 - "This is a wonderfully inspired homage of the British studio productions of Hammer Films and the Euro arthouse vampire movies of the 1970’s such as Vampyros Lesbos, Countess Dracula, and The Shiver of the Vampires. A religious rift leads to violence in a 2000 year old vampire community that has been separated between the women and men. The film is a constant visual feast that delivers some absolutely stunning imagery and locales, a fantastic score, loads of nudity, beautiful babes, and the divine lead actress Mary Widow. "
Women of Rock Oral History Project
We continued to work with the Women of Rock Oral History Project as videographers/sound/editors in capturing the life stories of amazing women who have been underrepresented in the media and thus history. This year we helped out on shoots with: Brie (Howard) Darling, Azalia Snail, and Carla Bozulich. The project is full steam ahead with many more shoots this year. You can check out the existing public interviews!
Here is a teaser Sophia edited to give a sense of the project:
