An 14 minute horror-comedy short by Sebastian Ganschow, Sina Diehl, Tille Berger & Christina Mammes that’s in post-production right now. Shot in three days in the studio of Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in February 2021. The team was inspired by 80s horror movies , especially Evil Dead 2, and the works of John Carpenter and David Cronenberg, mixing them with the internet meme of “Karen”.

A story about incoming gentrification, even to the darkest mythical corners of the world. The power of the old gods is eternal, but it is nothing against the ubiquity of consumerism. Two characters playing out all the stereotypes they got, to convince each other of an innocence that isn’t there on either side.
