Filmmaker Karen Skloss world premieres her new psychedelic teen horror film The Honor Farm at this year’s SXSW Conference and Festivals. The event will be held on Saturday, March 11th at the Stateside Theatre at 11:55pm.
The Honor Farm blends horror, coming of age, 80’s teen comedies together in original and clever ways to tell a story of one high school girl’s surreal passage to adulthood. Picking up where Pretty in Pink left off, while taking notes from Heathers and River’s Edge, The Honor Farm is a movie about taking the familiar from a canted angle and making it new and fresh to behold.
Synopsis: When Lucy’s prom night falls apart, she finds herself jumping into a hearse headed for a psychedelic party in the woods. Looking for a thrill, the party wanders deeper into the forest, to a haunted and abandoned prison work farm. A secret wish and a summoning of the dead sends the group on a mind-bending trip into a dangerous trap.
The film features a standout central performance from Olivia Applegate (NBC’s Revolution, Krisha), and made by a successful Austin-based filmmaking team, including director Skloss, producer David Hartstein, co-producer Jason Wehling, and executive producer (and founder of SXSW) Louis Black.
Ahead of The Honor Farm’s premiere, Skloss has released a short clip:
