In 2008, my wife and collaborator Hope Cartelli directed a silent film that I co-wrote and designed, and this is it. Please give us money to make more please!

A spurned maid. A powerful lothario. A book of potions. THE POISON KISS is a chiaroscuro pastiche of silent cinema that delves into the darker side of female empowerment. Because Hell hath no fury like a woman with deadly cosmetics. Commissioned as part of The Bride of Sinister Six Horror Film Fest. Directed by Hope Cartelli; Written by Jeff Lewonczyk; Edited by Art Wallace; Music by Whitney Gardner. Starring Iracel Rivero, David Cote, Stacia French, Tim Garrity, Adam Swiderski and Roger Nasser.
