The Demons of Dorothy
Directed by Alexis Langlois
Produced by Mélodrama, Les Films du Poisson
A darkly comedic, surreal exploration of artistic compromise and creative identity that blends body horror with feminist critique through the lens of a struggling queer filmmaker.
Dorothy’s a film director and a bit of a loser. One night, after a few beers, she lets loose on her script when a call from her producer kills her buzz: enough with the queer comedies, it’s time to start making mainstream films. To avoid sinking to the deepest depths of despair, Dorothy seeks comfort in her favorite TV show "Romy the Vampire Slayer". Unfortunately, her own demons show up.
