A friend of mine just saw this film by writer/director Travis Betz (Joshua) called Lo at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival. Here’s what she said:
“Went to a screening at the mpls/st. paul film festival this weekend. Check out the movie Lo—great writing, low budget, but super well done. It looks scary in the trailer but it’s more a dark hilarious comedy”
From the trailer it looks pretty interesting. Obviously low budget with some interesting creature effects/costumes. Apparently this was shot in 3 days. Not sure about any release dates, so keep your eyes peeled. Here’s the info:
Plot Synopsis:
Love is a tricky little devil. It has the power to command great sacrifice from those it touches. Enter Justin. A loser who’s most exciting moment in any given day is the house salad/no dressing he orders on his lunch break from corporate HateMyJob. But when a bizarre and curiously naive woman named April shows up in his life, he is forever changed. Suddenly the world is bright and full of hope, and nothing could ever change that…until April is mysteriously kidnapped by demons.
Finding an ancient summoning book amongst her things, Justin draws a circle on the ground and commands the power of the one demon marked in the book by a red ribbon. The demon Lo. While justin tries desperately to keep control of the demon he has summond, Lo has other plans for the tasty human who sits just inches away behind his protective circle. From singing demons, to talking hands, dancing bartenders and human sized rats, Justin’s love is put to the ultimate test, not to mention Lo’s ego. Love is Hell, and Hell is funny.
