Short Dark Comedy

WYTCH CRAFT is a 16 minute supernatural dark comedy about a fed up and angsty Millenial, Amanda, who resorts to witch craft in an attempt to rid the earth of her annoyingly perfect co-worker, Epiphany, however what can go wrong, will go wrong!

WYTCH CRAFT stars Jennifer Pielak (Harry and Meghan: Becoming Royal), Jocelyn Tam (Rocking on Air), Paula Spurr (Hit the Road) and Megan Leitch (The X Files). Leo nominated cinematographer Stirling Bancroft CSC (Freaks) lensed the film, with music performed by LA based evil swing band Marquis and the Rhythm Howlers, and the film was produced by Laura Geluch, Adrian Neblett (Revenge Body) and myself.
