Project Synopsis: Alicia Thompson gets dropped off at a high school house party by her overprotective, but well intentioned mother. While at the party, Isaiah and Alicia catch up on old times and flirt heavily with one another–it’s clear that they have chemistry. Alicia, having grown up sheltered, feels uncomfortable being at a party full of sex, drugs, and alcohol. Eventually, she’s teased by a bitchy, popular girl named Brenda who goes on to tell her the story of her first time eating human flesh. The whole party goes into hysteria as Alica gives in and tries cannibalism for herself. In the end, Alicia is the only one left alive and she sits in the covered in the chaos that just ensued.
Our Mission: My goal with this project is not only for it to stick with audiences visually, but to touch them at their adolescent core. We all have visceral memories that shapes us to who we are today.
Director’s Bio: Dania Thalia Olivo is a Dominican writer, director, and mom that grew up in New York City. She moved to Syracuse, NY as an adolescent and there, she got her BA in English and Communications at Le Moyne College. She also started her family there, having two children. Her son passed away in 2020 which is what prompted her to go back to school and finish getting her bachelors. Currently, she is living in Los Angeles with her daughter while attending Loyola Marymount University to get her MFA in Film Production.
