“Victim No. 6” is an Official Selection at Fantasia International Film Festival

“Sharp period detail, a solid central performance from Heather Brittain O’Scanlon, and smart storytelling hooks are the ticket in Nancy Menagh’s award-winning VICTIM NO.6. A serial killer stalks 1975 NYC. That’s not going to stop New Yorkers from having fun in this largely bar-set short. It’s a groovy time. Just be careful who you leave with.” – Mitch Davis

We’re geeking out over this one…

“Victim No. 6” is an Official Selection at the Fantasia International Film Festival!!!

Fantasia has been called “The most important and prestigious genre film festival on this continent.” …by some guy named Quentin Tarantino (!!!)

And this year our little film will be in the good company of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad – WHAAAAAT?!?!!!!!

So, Yeah. We’re definitely geeking out just a little bit over here. And we feel so honored to be in the company of so many filmmakers whom we admire.

Thank you Mitch, Celia, Eric & team for the warm welcome to the Fantasia Family!

Tickets for virtual screenings go on sale on July 23 on their website films.fantasiafestival.com – and you can start streaming on August 5 through the 25th!

Take 2 Indie Review: “O’Scanlon’s Performance Packs a Punch…”!

“Victim No. 6” Starts Festival Circuit on High Note with Rave Review from Take 2 Indie Review…

The reviews are in and it’s nothing but compliments for Victim No. 6! We were thrilled to receive a glowing review from M.J. Anagli at Take 2 Indie Review just as we wrapped up our premiere screening at the Beaufort International Film Festival. We are feeling the love today, with Anagli writing, “…Menagh’s thriller is a striking narrative that is remarkably written, performed, and shot. Standing out from a crowd of predictability, Victim No. 6 pushes the boundaries and takes thrillers in a new direction, leaving overused tropes behind.”, and “Menagh’s writing is thought-provoking and powerful. Brought to life by Russo and O’Scanlon’s layered performances, the film’s script touches on subjects of male privilege and the gender equity imbalance in society. In a hypnotizing monologue, O’Scanlon gets to the core of these issues with a chillingly passionate and memorable performance.”
