Shudder House New York City 2010-03-02
Student Film non-union Payment: No Pay
Description:
On a farm in 1950, deep in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, a 13 year old white boy develops an unusual relationship with his black nanny the week before he’s to leave for boarding school. Throughout the nights, they meet secretly in the barns for fear of the consequences of being caught by the boy’s racist parents. There in the privacy of the barns she teaches him the blues guitar and tells him stories of Robert Johnson’s deal with the devil. But the story grows all too real for the boy when he begins to spot a dark hooded figure creeping around the farm late at night.
