Scott Baisden, a Michigan filmmaker who operates out of Grand Rapids, is pleased to announce the world premiere of his short film, Devil at the Door. It was chosen to play at the Thriller! Chiller! Film Festival on Sunday, Oct. 24 at noon.
Devil at the Door centers around Howard “Duke” Ellington, a lonely man with a terrible secret. He believes he has captured Satan himself and has imprisoned him in an upstairs room until he decides what to do next.
Baisden’s short film is part of a larger project, Abstract Alley, which is homage to The Twilight Zone-era of television storytelling. Themes and tropes include alien invasion, divine intervention, xenophobia, altered perceptions, and monsters.
Debate in Lansing is focused on the Michigan film tax incentive. In Grand Rapids, filmmakers such as Baisden have always made do without financial breaks, making art out of their own pockets. Devil at the Door was shot for less than 100 dollars and edited on a laptop without any post-production facilities. It was real guerilla, shoot-from-the-hip filmmaking.
