3 THE STORY Amy, a self-proclaimed witch, invites friends over for a full moon ritual to bring magic into their lives. The powers they summon end up being much more than they bargained for. Amy, along with her best friends from high school, is now married and living in the suburbs. Looking for more in life, she has become obsessed with new age spirituality and witchcraft. When she organizes a Full Moon Party, one of her friends brings a new person along and Amy might not be able to control her temper. This short explores suburban women desiring more in their lives, something extraordinary. They intend to use magic and the special power that the full moon brings to let go of the undesirable and conjure the new and exciting. Through the power of the moon and the power of sisterhood, these women summon something supernatural that is far more than they bargained for. 1 2

9 DIRECTORS STATEMENT Mary and Melanie met while Mary was in film school and have since worked on many shorts together. They share a love of movies and a fondness for old Nintendo games, really good scary movies, and Cheers. With Mary s technical expertise as a director and editor and Melanie s background in acting and screenwriting the two have been able to forge a complimenting leadership. Both are passionate about promoting women in film and telling real women s stories. What they both consider really good scary movies are character driven, disturbing beyond corporeal harm, visually diving into psyche like The Shining. They are passionate about creating an experience for their viewers with films that leave a metallic taste of fear in the mouth, thoughts chasing them with a sharp smell of popcorn and bodies in a crowded theater long after they ve gone to bed
