At Mirth and Merriment, we like to keep our creative juices flowing in our down time. We also like to hang out together too, so why not make something just for us. Written and directed by Gabrielle Paciorek, The Devoted is a horror short telling the story of a cyberbully (also a grown ass man) who meets his surreal match in the very real world. A word of warning, spells can be cast through email.
Produced on a budget of approximately $.02 and a whim, and shot over 2 days, we used the project to push ourselves into unknown territory. The biggest question mark was...well I don't want to spoil it for you. So check back here after the festival run for all the dirty details.
