Horror - 12:00 | ALTER Exclusive
Abandoned by her boyfriend in the middle of the night, a woman is faced with an unthinkable choice that could cost her life.
Scooter sprang to life after writer and director Chelsea Lupkin, along with director of photography Jonny Kapps and myself, emerged from the post-pandemic fatigue eager to satisfy our creative urges. Chelsea had crafted a script set in a single location to streamline production, and the moment I delved into it, I knew the perfect spot—a unique chicken and hamburger joint called '‘The Red Rooster’ in Brewster, New York. With a dedicated team of talented individuals, everything fell into place bringing this short horror to life.
Scooter went on to having a successful festival circuit, brining us full circle back to premiering at Fantasia International Film Festival and earning Official Selections at SITGES Film Festival, Overlook, Beyond Fest, and Brooklyn Horror Film Festival.
You can now catch Scooter exclusively on Gunpowder & Sky's horror platform, ALTER, and read about it featured on Short of the Week.
