We’re big Tiffany Shepis supporters around here, so of course it’s always my pleasure to bring you news of a new project she’s got in the works. (And let’s face it, the girl always has a new project in the works.) Here we have a flick called DROPPING EVIL, which apparently is the first part of a trilogy of films. The folks at Roklaf Studios were kind enough to send us a few Lobby Cards from the flick which stars Armin Shimerman (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”), Edwin Neal (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Future-Kill), Tiffany Shepis (Homesick, Nightmare Man), and Scarlet Salem (Terror Overload, Killer Biker Chicks).
What’s this thang about? Resist Evil is an independent horror trilogy set in a world where God has “gone missing”, and was shot for a total budget of only $60,000 over the course of one and a half years (spring ’07-summer ’08) in Iowa. Written by Louis Doerge and directed and shot by Adam Protextor, the three films attempt to tell an epic story on a limited dollar. Shot using a small crew, the movies overcome their monetary limitations by taking a documentary-style approach, grounding the supernatural saga in handheld realism and a character-driven script.
The first installment in the Resist Evil franchise, Dropping Evil, tells the story of Mike, Samantha, and Becky, three high school kids who, in an attempt to get their ultra-nerdy friend Nancy to calm down on a road trip to Camp Hema Toma, slip him some LSD and inadvertently set in motion a chain of events far beyond their understanding. Meanwhile, a mega-conglomerate called ValYouCorp watches, led by the power-hungry Boss Man (Armin Shimerman) and the mysterious Dionysia (Tiffany Shepis). ValYouCorp believes the teens to have a special connection with God’s untimely disappearance, and they may be right. How do they watch? By installing a camera in one of the four’s eyes.
Sounds ambitious, no? Check out the lobby cards and then keep it here for more info as it comes in…
