Now that our latest short film is out, we wanted to show you the Behind the Scenes! It was a hot day in September and our cast was in full Victorian masquerade costumes, charging through cornfields and getting their hands covered in sticky-red-corn-syrupy-stage-blood!
It also shows off some of the great masks and props too!
