With an all female cast, this movie passes the Bechdel Test, which asks whether a work of fiction features at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. Many contemporary works fail this test of gender bias. On average, films that pass the test have been found to have a lower budget than others, but of comparable or better financial performance.
Conceptualized, created, and completed in less than 2 days for the 2014 Milwaukee 48 Hour Film Project. Required elements were the horror genre, the umbrella as a prop, the character of Annie Smithee, the scientist, and the line of dialogue "This is what it's all about."
Lead actors Jessica and Candace helped conceptualize their characters before the script was written. Their notion of a Sherlock/Watson relationship helped shape the story.
Julia Smith's debut as producer, and Doug Vojtko's debut as cinematographer.
