Buffaclare Presents: Blood on the Glass Slipper

[Joe]

Well we have recently finished a new short film called "Blood on the Glass Slipper." Only having four days to shoot we decided to go all out on gore and just have fun with the project. Unlike Bullets, you can tell that we had a very short time to make the film. I myself think it works and is great for what it is.

It is an exploitation film at heart. What did we exploit? The word FUCK of course. We had no idea until it came to the editing process how many times the word was said. The use of the word turned it into more of a black comedy and seems to genuinely work.

Three bank robbers on the run from a heist gone wrong. Two travellers cross their path. Wrong Place. Wrong Time.

A better quality version will appear on our website (www.buffaclare.com) once it launches.

I hope you enjoy watching and forgive us for the over use of that certain word. Feedback would be great.

Here's a review just posted on Gonzorric for Blood on the Glass Slipper:

Heather Dixon and Joe Trione graduate from kung fu comedy to expletive exploitation in their sophomore short film BLOOD ON THE GLASS SLIPPER, proving that true grindhouse-style moviemaking is best left in the hands of people with no money and nothing to lose, and that it takes more than putting fake dirt and scratches on your video to do it right. Beginning with the sound of screeching tires over a black title screen, SLIPPER is an excellent 16-minute homage to the rough-and-ready 70s classics LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE complete with bickering criminals and machete-wielding chicks out for bloody revenge.

Trione once again gives a completely over the top performance as the head of the gang of kidnappers, verbally and physically assaulting anyone and anything that happens to be in the same frame as his character. You can tell he's seen the right movies and understands the audience for exploitation film very well. Heather Dixon and her busty counterpart Jessica Cox counteract Trione's energized antics with believable reactions and stone cold female badass when it's time to turn the tables. Combined with absolutely outstanding photography, editing and music placement, it all adds up to 16 minutes of honest to goodness intensity that's great not because the filmmakers purposely tried to make a "bad" movie but rather they succeeded in making a brilliant one.

Watch this film in its entirety on YouTube here and don't be surprised if the next movie from Dixon and Trione finally gets them the credit they truly deserve.

You guys broke the fuck barrier! That was great. Really enjoyable all the way through, wasn't sure what direction this was headed. I liked the pacing, performances, and the music. I'm guessing this was shot with a digital camera with the film effects added later to give it the grindhouse look and feel.

Thank you very much for the kind words. When it comes to the word fuck, we were subtly parodying the films of Rob Zombie and other recent film directors such as Eli Roth.
