Megan Riakos showcases female directors in horror anthology
Andrea Demetriades in Dark Whispers- Volume 1.

Filmmaker Megan Riakos has filmed the wrap-around segment for an anthology of horror short films by female directors which she is curating with producer Leonie Marsh.

In the segment shot by Justine Kerrigan, which will top and tail the film and link to each chapter, Andrea Demetriades plays Clara, who is obsessed with her late mother’s cherished The Book of Dark Whispers.

Each weird tale sheds light on a new facet of the twisted human psyche, or not-so-human, from the horror of grief to a share-house living disaster, from existential dread to right-swiping vampires.

Comprising 11 shorts plus the wrap-around, Dark Whispers – Volume 1 showcases films by Angie Black, Briony Kidd, Isabel Peppard, Janine Hewitt, Jub Clerc, Kaitlin Tinker, Marion Pilowsky, Katrina Irawati Graham, Lucy Gouldthorpe, Madeleine Purdy and Riakos.

Each receives a licence fee and a share in a percentage of the film’s profits.
