Sodom & Chimera Productions has announced principal photography of Daughter of Dismay, the latest blending of arthouse and horror from experimental filmmaker James Quinn. Daughter of Dismay will start principal photography on September 22nd, deep in the Austrian woods.
Of his latest work, Quinn said, "After having directed several very experimental works like Flesh of the Void, The Temple of Lilith and Sulphur for Leviathan,
all of which combined very raw emotions and extremely controversial
themes with arthouse-heavy 16mm cinematography, mostly without clear
story lines, I realized the potential of arthouse cinema. Many people
seemed to love the focus on visual filmmaking, even people who otherwise
weren't interested in the extreme experimental aspects. It was for this
reason that I made it my goal to create a short film that still focuses
on these elegant, painting-like visuals, but does so on a much larger
scale, with a very linear story and non-experimental execution,
something that even the most traditional horror fans will be able to
enjoy. The decision to shoot on 65mm was made to convey the most
breathtaking and epic style the film could have, a style most people
know from classic blockbusters, combining it with classic horror
elements as well as those of gut-punch dramas."

Quinn
has hired Ziryab Ben Brahem as the director of photography. The score
of the film will be created by Joseph Bishara, the mastermind behind the
musical compositions of films like the Insidious series, The Conjuring 1 & 2, Annabelle 1 & 2 and Dark Skies. The visual effects will be created by producer Justin Schenck, who has previously worked on the effects of Swordfish and the cult TV series "The Exorcist".
