Their horror short film begs the question, but what if a woman had control over a man's body?In this FilmQuest Filmmaker episode of Horror Babe Show, Chelsea sits down with filmmakers Deana Taheri and Emily Dhue to talk about their feminist horror short “Bill.” The film explores a world where a woman has control over a man’s body — intentionally reversing the power imbalance women experience so often in real life. Originally developed as a stage play, Bill was later adapted into a short film and shot almost entirely in Deana’s mom’s kitchen, proving that bold ideas matter more than big budgets. If you're a female / LGBTQ+ filmmaker, you'll want to watch this very raw and real episode.Deana Taheri @deanataheri Emily Dhue @e_dhue 00:00 Hi babe! 01:02 Introducing Deana & Emily 01:26 About "Bill" 04:00 Why Bill? 04:56 Peel & Stick is EXPENSIVE 07:58 Horror, Comedy, and Clowns 11:11 Horror Babes? 16:50 The Takeaway 🎃 Join the Patreon — https://patreon.com/HorrorBabeShow/ 💸 PayPal — paypal.me/horrorbabeshow 🪦 Grab Official Merch — http://tee.pub/lic/G8eJUNLtR00 👻 Got a Ghost Story?
