Live Script Reading: Husks

description

Join a cast of actors for a live script reading of the local horror-comedy HUSKS. The upcoming feature is a fun, absurd, and an untimely hopeful escape, revealing in the triumph of the human spirit, however blood-soaked it may be.

This is a FREE event, open to the public and a great opportunity to experience a film in the early stages of development. There will be a Q&A following the reading, and the production team are open to script feedback following the event.

LOGLINE
A rag-tag bachelor party are abducted during a hunting trip by a truly inept alien force. With the party armed and able to defend relentless attacks, the hive-minded humanoid creatures are forced to lay siege on their ship’s loading bay. It’s EVIL DEAD meets FIRE IN THE SKY, in an ever-escalating gauntlet of bloody absurdity, forcing our captor’s to come together, learn the alien’s true motives, and struggle to find a way back to earth without the total destruction of the ship.

TEAM
