Living With Chucky

description

A filmmaker who grew up alongside Chucky seeks out those surrounding the CHILD’S PLAY films as they recount their experiences working on the ongoing franchise, and what it means to be a part of the “Chucky” family.

Directed by Kyra Elise Gardner – the daughter of Tony Gardner, who was the chief puppeteer for the majority of the horror films inspired by CHILD’S PLAY in 1988 – the documentary explores the iconic franchise through a personal and social perspective, using new and archival interview footage to explore the film’s cultural impact over the years with principal cast and crew members. A love letter not only to the franchise, but to the people who work tirelessly to continue to bring Chucky into the homes of horror fans everywhere.

DIRECTOR'S BIO
With a dad in special effects makeup, blood and guts became a normality for Kyra at a young age. Combat nursing was her first goal, but she soon discovered that real blood is way grosser than the fake stuff. She's been pursuing a career in directing since attending Florida State's film program and plans on creating quirky fantastical films from the lore of her unconventional childhood.
