Shooting "The Uninvited"

 I spent last Saturday afternoon and evening directing "The Uninvited," a short film of one of my comedy scripts for the upcoming Sketchworks show. The use of intense, unsourced, and unnatural colored light is intended to invoke the Italian horror genre of the 1970s, specifically Dario Argento, and, super-specifically, his film "Suspiria."
  Tom Robertson was gracious enough to spend his afternoon taking shots of the making of this endeavor.

Herschel Horton works the second camera.

Susan, myself, and the two Deaths (Chris and Mike Stiles) go over blocking for the next shot.

I demonstrate for Chris how Death should put the moves on Stephanie.
