In celebration of Huluween, 20th Digital Studio’s Bite Size Halloween series of spooky shorts is back for a third season, Bloody Disgusting learned today.
A whopping twenty new shorts from exciting emerging filmmakers premiere October 1 on Hulu, blending genres like horror, comedy, sci-fi, thriller, and more.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive first look below.
“Shot in seven different countries, this season takes on topical issues such as racism, gender, parenthood, sexuality, and identity,” notes the press release.
Snatched (dir. Michael Schwartz), pictured above, features Tatiana Maslany (“She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law”) in her first on-screen role with husband Brendan Hines (“Locke & Key”). Misha Osherovich (“Freaky”) stars as their son.
Other shorts feature familiar faces like Brigette Lundy-Paine (“Atypical”), Lin Shaye (Insidious), David Costabile (“Breaking Bad”), and former “Glow” co-stars Rebekka Johnson and singer-songwriter Kate Nash who co-wrote/directed/star in a short featuring Nash’s original music.
20th Digital Studio’s focus on diversity and inclusion continues as prestigious filmmakers from the festival world are featured, including Nuhash Humayun (“Moshari,” SXSW Grand Jury Prize), Sam Max (“Chaperone,” Sundance), Michelle Krusiec (“Bite,” AFI DWW), Zoey Martinson (“Cupids,” Tribeca), and many more.
The goal of 20th Digital Studio’s short film programs is to continue to guide and finance the growth of these artists’ careers and to transition some of the shorts into longer features.
The first two films developed in this way will premiere this month on Hulu: Grimcutty from John William Ross on Oct. 10 and Matriarch from Ben Steiner on Oct. 21.
