Here at Horror Society we are all about helping indie projects raise funds and awareness. Today we were hit up by Ashlea Wessel about her new project, Ink. Check out the press release below:
Synopsys
After a pregnancy scare, JOEY marks the occasion with a new tattoo and a drunken night of distraction. When she arrives home in the early hours of the morning, she’s confronted with the truth about what she really wants, and the past that’s driven her to the brink of obsession. Her desires and circumstances intersect to awaken a bond between her and an ancient force; a monster from unknown depths who’s magnetically drawn to her.
Why INK?
1.)Visual Aesthetic
Ashlea’s artistic vision and visual aesthetic are unique. With your help, we can bring them to life in “INK” to create a singular filmic experience that’s beautiful and grotesque all at once.
2.)Unique take on the female protagonist
Our protagonist JOEY is an unusual lead in that she doesn’t fit the standard archetypes of women in film. She’s damaged and messed up but also strong and resilient; a heavily tattooed 30 something who couldn’t care less about keeping an immaculate home. It was important to us to show a real woman who’s characteristically and physically outside of the media’s norm for leading ladies.
3.)Our entirely original story and screenplay
The original story is Ashlea’s brainchild. INK offers a fresh perspective in a genre with so many creative possibilities but so few female voices.
4.)Awesome Makeup and SPFX!
From full-body tattoos to tentacles and monster FX, Jen Wright and our makeup team are creating a great visual presence for Joey, along with all of the creepy and gooey additions that make us all love the genre of Horror.
