Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 SILENT HELL FOR THE AGES The making of a Cherry Red studio picture
Cherry Red Productions and Jeff Goode Entertainment conspire to present this hauntingly hip and hilarious remake of the 1922 cult horror classic, Trapped by the Mormons. Click HERE for more info about the film's producers.
Pooling the resources of Cherry Red's nine-year history of producing horny, hoary theater in Washington DC, Trapped by the Mormons was filmed over just four weekends in October. A makeshift studio was built in the warehouse storage space of Washington Shakespeare Company in Arlington, Virginia. Much as in the Ye Olden Days of filmmaking, each of the film's interior settings was built from scratch using flats and WSC's storage set pieces. In the months following the shoot, the film was meticulously "aged" utilizing all the latest technology (like scraping it with dirt). Voila, a silent film for twenty first century! This silly and sinister remake starring New York drag kingpin Johnny Kat as Isoldi Keane, also features many of Cherry Red's most notorious cult superstars, including Richard Renfield as Elder Kayler, Tony Greenberg as old Mr. Prescott, and Monique LaForce as Sadie Keane. New to Cherry Red's fans is Emily Bedford-Riehl, as Nora. Click HERE to check out the all-star cast. Adapted and directed by Cherry Red's artistic director Ian Allen (Cannibal Cheerleaders on Crack, Baked Baby), Trapped by the Mormons was filmed on versatile (and cheap!) DV film by Chris McKenzie (Art Piece, All the Reverend's Men). Richard Renfield composed the synthetic, trip-hop score; edited and instrumented by DJ Lobster Boy. Other infamous Cherry Redders to have leant a hand included Rhonda Key (costume), Kim Deane (set), and Rabbi Weiss (casting). Click HERE to check out the full crew. |
