Filmmaker Statement

“Still Together” is a parody of magical 1980s romantic comedies with an out of left field horror twist. In the film, a department store window designer falls in love with an ancient Viking warrior trapped inside the body of a mannequin. The film starts as a parody of 1980s magical romantic comedies and veers unexpectedly into darker, twisted, bloody waters. Having primarily worked in drama, we were so excited to switch gears to comedy. Our goal with "Still Together" was to take the bizarre vibes of 80s magical comedies to their absurd extreme. Though the film ultimately detours into bizarre dark comedy, we wanted to retain the open hearted, uncynical emotion of 80s films and deliver a heartfelt love story and deranged parody at the same time.
