The Demon Lady Begins


Hey everybody, Chris here. After shooting the third and final season of Prep School Blues: The Web Series, I am turning my attention to my senior thesis film for NYU Tisch School of the Arts for the spring semester. This film explores a queer love story through the genre of gothic horror. I'll be posting some information on my thesis film here on the PSB blog and also on my NEW OFFICIAL THE DEMON LADY BLOG.

Any actors out there? Here's the casting notice I put up elsewhere on the web:


Casting for Advanced Experimental Thesis Film (NYU TISCH)

The Demon Lady, an original short by Chris Conner, explores the coming of age and sexual awakening of a young boy in repressive Victorian England through supernatural Gothic imagery in a haunting portrait of adolescent desire and the dark side of human passion.

CHARACTERS

ERIK, 14-18, pale and androgynous, only son of an aristocratic family. Struggles with his emerging sexuality.
URSULA, late 30s, Erik's beautiful but controlling mother, Lady of the Manor.
MADELEINE, 20s, Erik's stern French governess.
ALEX, 18-20, rugged and muscular, the new gardener at the estate. Erik's love interest.
THE OLD MAN, 50-60, a stranger who lives in the forest.
THE DEMON LADY, no age specified, a mysterious female spirit, a dark force that invades Erik's mind.
