We are back, @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ has MORE great coverage from the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival @fantasiafestival (18th July - 4th August 2024) for you!

Today we look at a new indie short, which is the beginning of something much bigger! PLUS, we sit down with the writer / director and his trusty producer to delve into everything that brought this idea to life!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/ho7truEbeJU

'Hell Is a Teenage Girl' is written & directed by Stephen Sawchuk, and is the proof of concept for a larger story! In Springboro, Halloween is a time for teens to obey the rules, especially since the town boasts a slasher (Mar Andersons) who returns yearly on the normally fun holiday. Parker (Skylar Radzion) knows this all too well because the Springboro Slasher happens to be her dad. But that legacy be damned because she’s going to turn the tables on the town and her father once and for all.
