Women in Horror Month: The Soska Sisters Out for Blood!
Around here we love the Soska sisters, Jen and Sylvia. Not just because they’re generally two of the most kick-ass folks you’re ever likely to meet, but because they always have their hearts in a great place for a good cause. This year is no different!
From the Press Release:
Women in Horror Recognition Month is upon us once more, and with it comes our WiH Massive Blood Drive. It’s a worldwide, no limits event where our cause is simple. We want YOU to BLEED for us. All month long we encourage people to give back in the most selfless of ways that honor the fearless heroines and heroes from horror. By being brave and bleeding. Heck, it’s just a little prick and most likely not the biggest one we’ll even have to deal with in the day!
And we need blood donors! On a massive scale. Every two seconds someone needs blood. Just think about all the blood that people have needed JUST while you were reading this! Sadly, very few people donate, and we’re on a mission to change that by bringing attention to the cause.
Every year we do a little something different and pick unique themes while inviting a multitude of filmmakers from across the globe to participate. The only requirement to be invited is you must be a feminist. We’ve in the years expanded to invite male filmmakers alongside the ladies. This year our PSA is a music video.
The song is called “BLOOD” by Kevvy (Kevin James Maher) of FAKE SHARK. The collective is edited again by the talented Paolo Kalalo.
This year our collective includes a killer combination of top talent including WiH Massive Blood Drive veterans and fresh bloods: Aleah Anseth (Being Little Miss Risk), Tamae Garateguy (All Night Long, She Wolf), Maude Michaud (60 Seconds 2 Die, Dys-), Jill Sixx Gevargizian (The Stylist), Damon Rickard (Dissociative, Rats), Patricia Chica (Ceramic Tango, Montreal Girls), Hannah Neurotica (WiH Month Founder and Creator), Russ Foxx, Brent Ray Fraser, and Aramis Sartorio (The Gruesome Death of Tommy Pistol).
You may recognize Russ Foxx from American Mary, who was our body mod consultant. In this video, yes, that blood IS real.
You may also recognize that this video is awesome and you should donate blood.
Which is true. It IS awesome and you SHOULD donate.
I’d say viewer discretion is advised, but that’s just not me. Drink it up and enjoy! And get out there and bleed for a truly heroic cause. After all, it’s in you to give.
But don’t listen to me. Listen to a flashy music video with graphic imagery, sexual content, and Dean Cain.
Look for MORE coming your way on Valentine’s Day! MANY of our aforementioned directors have FULL versions of each of their videos. Look for them February 14th!
