Read All About It! Press for “Victim No. 6”!

January 16, 2021acting, Festivals, Film, Garden State Film Festival, News, Press, Producing, TrailersHeather Brittain O'Scanlon

I am so excited to have our first bit of press for my film baby “Victim No. 6“!  Thanks so much to the good people at New Jersey Stage for the write-up!

Read all about it HERE!

New Jersey filmmaker Heather Brittain O’Scanlon is finally kicking off the festival run for her latest film, “Victim No. 6”, beginning with the Beaufort International Film Festival in South Carolina this February, where the film has been selected as a finalist.

“Victim No. 6”, written and directed by Nancy Menagh (“As It Seems”), is co-produced by Menagh and O’Scanlon under their production companies, Black Dog Pictures and SOS Productions, respectively. The film stars O’Scanlon, a New Jersey native, (“Blue Bloods”, “House Broken”) along with Russ Russo (“Catch Hell”, “Act of War”), another New Jersey native who has a long list of film & TV credits to his name. “Victim No. 6” is set in 1975 New York City, where a fun-loving woman out at her local bar invites a handsome stranger back to her place, despite knowing there’s a serial killer on the loose.

Menagh and O’Scanlon first teamed up on the award-winning film “As It Seems”, which was also written and directed by Menagh and starred O’Scanlon. Menagh said, “It was great to team up with Heather on another period piece. We had a lot of fun working with the unique vibe of the 1970’s, which I think shines through in the film.”

When asked when the film might screen in New Jersey, O’Scanlon replied coyly, “I have a sneaking suspicion you may just see it at the Garden State Film Festival in March!” O’Scanlon, who serves as Vice Chair of the festival went on to explain that any film of hers, which screens at GSFF, screens out of competition (it is not eligible for awards).

She added, “It’s always an honor to have one of my films show at GSFF, New Jersey’s premier independent film festival. I know I’ll be in the best of company with the talented filmmakers who are accepted from all over the world, and I’m always so very happy to bring one of my films home to New Jersey where my family and friends can all attend!”

The Garden State Film Festival takes place March 23 – 28, 2021 and will be a hybrid virtual and live event. Official selections and schedule of films and events will be posted soon.

O’Scanlon concluded by saying “It feels so satisfying to soon be able to share this film with audiences. We had initially hoped to start our festival run at the beginning of 2020, but then COVID hit, the lockdowns were in place, film festivals shuttered and/or went online, and life as we know it changed in so many ways. As difficult as this past year has been for us all, I feel like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and I’m thankful”.

Official Trailer Released for “Victim No. 6”

January 11, 2021acting, Festivals, Film, Garden State Film Festival, News, Press, TrailersHeather Brittain O'Scanlon

NEWS RELEASE

New York, NY (JANUARY 11, 2021)

FILMMAKERS MENAGH & O’SCANLON PREMIERE TRAILER FOR SHORT THRILLER VICTIM NO. 6

COVID and the subsequent lockdowns have been difficult for countless people and businesses for a myriad of reasons. And, without venues for live performances and screenings, the arts were also hit extremely hard. Film Festivals shuttered or went online, theaters closed, and Broadway went dark. This left a huge void for both the spectators and the artists. Thankfully, much like the first daffodils poking through the ground after a long winter, we are starting to once more see signs of life in the arts community.

Nancy Menagh and Heather Brittain O’Scanlon announced today that they are finally kicking off the festival run for their latest film, “Victim No. 6”, beginning with the Beaufort International Film Festival in South Carolina this February, where the film has been selected as a finalist.

“Victim No. 6”, written and directed by Nancy Menagh (“As It Seems”), is co-produced by Menagh and O’Scanlon under their production companies, Black Dog Pictures and SOS Productions, respectively. The film stars O’Scanlon (“Blue Bloods”, “House Broken”) along with Russ Russo (“Catch Hell”, “Act of War”). “Victim No. 6” is set in 1975 New York City, where a fun-loving woman out at her local bar invites a handsome stranger back to her place, despite knowing there’s a serial killer on the loose.

Menagh and O’Scanlon first teamed up on the award-winning film “As It Seems”, which was also written and directed by Menagh and starred O’Scanlon. Menagh said, “It was great to team up with Heather on another period piece. We had a lot of fun working with the unique vibe of the 1970’s, which I think shines through in the film.”

When asked when the film might screen in New Jersey (O’Scanlon’s home state), O’Scanlon replied coyly, “I have a sneaking suspicion you may just see it at the Garden State Film Festival in March!” O’Scanlon, who serves as Vice Chair of the festival went on to explain that any film of hers, which screens at GSFF, screens out of competition (it is not eligible for awards). She added “It’s always an honor to have one of my films show at GSFF, New Jersey’s premiere independent film festival.

“Victim No. 6” – Teaser No. 1

October 30, 2020acting, Film, Producing, TrailersHeather Brittain O'Scanlon

Hello Friends,

I hope you’re all staying healthy and sane during this crazy year!

As many of you know,  I have been working on the film “Victim No. 6” for well over two years.  I wanted to collaborate on another project with director, Nancy Menagh, after the success of our last film (“As It Seems”). Nancy wrote the first draft of “Victim No. 6” in the summer of 2018. We spent the better part of a year preparing for our shoot in April 2019, the remainder of 2019 in post production – and 2020 has been spent navigating this pandemic with the rest of the world!

We’re expecting to have festival announcements in the first quarter of 2021.  But that feels like so long to wait… We wanted to at least give our friends and supporters a taste of what we’ve been working on!

So we put together a teaser trailer!

Please watch and enjoy – and stay tuned for more news soon!

GSFF Awards 2020 – Live from Lauren's Living Room!

GSFF AWARDS 2020!!!! From Lauren’s living room. From 6’ apart. In our PJ’s. Eating ice cream. Because, pandemic.

Posted by Garden State Film Festival on Sunday, March 29, 2020

I am incredibly honored to serve as Vice-Chair at the Garden State Film Festival.  This year, in particular, I was so proud of our team for our response to the stay-at-home order due to COVID-19.  With less than less than two weeks to plan, we switched gears and live-streamed our entire program (all 240 films), as per our original schedule. GSFF was the first film festival in the U.S. (and, possibly, the world) to successfully pivot and execute the live-streamed version of our event in its entirety and, since then, we have had many other festivals reaching out to us for advice about how they can do the same.

Our 4-day event culminated in our annual awards ceremony.  While we usually give the awards out at a black-tie dinner on the last night of the festival, this year our Executive Director (Lauren Concar Sheehy) and I broadcast the ceremony on Facebook Live, from her living room (from 6-feet apart), while in our pajamas (eating ice cream).  And it was perfect.

#DoryOscanlon says good morning! 😸 #DoryOscanlon says good morning! 😸
GRATITUDE... 2020 has been a struggle for most of GRATITUDE... 2020 has been a struggle for most of us, myself included. And, for a lot of us (myself included), “struggle” is an understatement for what this year has brought. 

At the beginning of 2020 (pre-pandemic), coming off of the loss of my mother, I made a conscious decision to start to LIVE IN GRATITUDE. Was my life perfect? No. Did I still have healing to do? Absolutely. But I made the decision to focus my energy on what I was thankful for, rather than my heartbreak and loss. And I truly had so much to be thankful for! Personally, I had a new appreciation for my family & my friends - and for my health, after spending years focused on my mother’s health and neglecting my own. I became more focused on nurturing my family, my relationships, and also making self-care a priority. 

Then the pandemic hit and life as we all know it was forever changed. 

And believe me, I had my own challenges with it. I may not post a lot of personal stuff on social media, so a lot of you wouldn’t know that. Social media is a funny thing... Some people feel comfortable putting all of their ailments and worries out there for public consumption. I’m not personally comfortable with that. (But, hey, whatever floats your boat!) At the same time, I don’t like posting happy posts if I’m dealing with a personal struggle. It feels inauthentic if I do and I just generally feel yucky about it.

So I went through periods over the last 8 months or so where I really wasn’t posting much. Sometimes life gets a little harder and you just have to ride it out. And I continue to do that... I have to say, the mindset that helped me through my most difficult times was one of gratitude. 

It’s not always easy to focus on what’s good when it feels like life is throwing all the bad things in your lap. But, for me, shifting to a place of gratitude has made all of the difference. 

There’s still healing to be done and personal growth to be achieved, but I’m a lot stronger, healthier and happier than I was a year ago, COVID be damned! 

And I’m oh-so thankful. 🙏🏼

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends! What’s one thing you’re thankful for?
