Witchwise -- The world premiere of the twisted new film from Hollywood horror screenwriter and Marvel Comics vet Joe Harris! Everyone adores Andrew, including his old Aunt Mary. Rather, she did...until she died. Now, standing at her funeral, his Aunt's casket open before him, Andrew reflects on the last time he saw Mary alive, the shocking events that led to her death, and the terrible secret she took to her grave. Was Andrew's Aunt Mary a witch? What was the source of her power? And, most important, how can he
make it his? Featuring stunning digital fx and brilliant special makeup effects by Vincent Guastini (Kevin Smith's Dogma, Requiem for a Dream), Witchwise is a swirling tale of horror and magic, murder and vengeance in which one bad little boy learns an important lesson: Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it! Join writer/director Joe Harris (creator of Tooth Fairy and Sony's Darkness Falls, co- writer of The Tripper with David Arquette, Marvel Comics¹ Slingers, X- Men); producers Amanda DeSeta and Hunter Shepherd; and cast members Spencer Daniels and Mary Eileen O'Donnell for a coven and discussion following this premiere screening.
**Correction: Writer/Director Joe Harris, Lead Actor Spencer Daniels and Special Make-up Effects Master Vincent Guastini will be in attendance.
