Meet the 2015 Sundance Filmmakers #45: Bruce McDonald Wants 'Hellions' to Invoke Fear and Excitement
Though Bruce McDonald's marital comedy "The Husband" premiered only months ago at the Toronto International Film Festival, the prolific Canadian director is already prepared to unveil his newest film at Sundance. "Hellions" takes a page from classic horror, as Dora (Chloe Rose) endures a treacherous and seemingly-endless Halloween night. To those relatively unfamiliar with McDonald's work, "Hellions" might seem like a radical departure. Yet for this idiosyncratic filmmaker, shaking things up is practically mandatory. What's your film about in 140 characters or less? On Halloween night, a teenage girl gets terrorized by some demonic kids. Now what's it Really about? Choices. Death. Life. Madness. Beauty. Pumpkins. Tell us briefly about yourself. I am the Commander of the Northern Tribes. My idol is Joe Strummer. My fortune and well-being are because of the beautiful and talented women in my life. Biggest challenge in completing this film?...
