Project Detail

Slumber Party

Synopsis

5 girls, 1 house, big mistake! Confused, foggy and possibly insane, Simon was once a successful businessman who was thrown into pop management by chance. PR guru and Elvis lookalike, Keith, recognises Simon's strengths (his pop band), and his weakness (his own mental stability) and carefully manipulates them both for his own ends.

Wooed by the possibility of big time stardom, Aussie girl group, The Sheila's, are persuaded by Simon and Keith to stay overnight in the UK's most haunted house as part of a charity stunt. The event is filmed live and is linked to a studio debate. The usual TV 'experts' are assembled - physic, shaman, psychologist, historian and ghost hunter - in the studio to watch the action in the haunted house and debate the ethics of such a fundraising campaign. As a publicity stunt it was a brilliant idea, but no-one bargained for the fact that the house really is haunted and the studio panel plus a national audience watch the events unfold with unpredictable and catastrophic consequences.

Half of the movie was filmed in a haunted house in Suffolk, England, and much of what was shot was unexpected, alarming and makes very compelling viewing.

Santo is a respected religious clockmaker and moneylender in his village. He exploits families in debt by using charm and kindness. When they cannot repay him, he persuades them to send their underage daughters to work as maids to pay off the debt.

After Santo's death, Maria Luisa, one of his victims, with the help of Fernando, his childhood friend and lawyer, fights for justice.

After an abortion, a woman wanders the streets of Paris, engaging in a series of silent encounters under the neon lights of Chinatown. Taking place over the course of a single night and drawing inspiration from the writings of cult literary figures Kathy Acker, Bernadette Mayer, and Alice Notley, the film intertwines dream and reality. Shot in the reddish glow of karaoke bars, cinemas, and clubs - a collective, feminist autofiction with a cast of artists, poets, and actors.
