Relationship Killers
Relationship Killers is a short film that is a proof of character for two characters in a world called, “Lethal Ladies”. As of right now we are not sure if Lethal Ladies will be an episodic series or a feature film franchise. Currently we are looking to create three graphic novels set in the world and possibly a few more short films before making the decsion to develop it as features or an Episodic Series.
Many filmmakers make short films as a proof of concept for a feature or Episodic Series. This one is specifically for two characters but deals very little with concept. I’ve always found character driven content to be more intriguing to me rather than the high concept content most studios want.
Bravien is one of the characters I want to introduce in this film. She is a quiet yet brash person with a short temper and an intense love for her partner, Bedegraine.
Bravien will be played by Assia Lau'ren.

Like I said, I’ve always preferred character driven writing and normally when I get a new idea for a story it always starts with and is routed in character. Who are they? Why are they the way they are? What made them that way? How would they react to different situations?
This piece is a character driven and darkly tense. It is rather dialogue heavy like a Sorkin or Tarantino film yet moves quickly with a constantly building tension, up until the ending.
I think this screenplay is the most “Me” thing I’ve ever written and I cannot wait to get on set to shoot it. My cast and crew have gone above and beyond to put in the work. We have been rehearsing virtually weekly and have gotten together, safely a few times to rehearse in person with COVID precautions.
It warms my heart every time we get to the ending and everyone smiles at one another with excitement and gratitude. We are all excited to get the words from the script page on screen and we cannot thank you enough for your support.
This project means a great deal to me. Thank you so much for your help with the fundraising and help spreading awareness about the project.
#RelationshipKillersFilm
Relationship Killers is a real mental health term that refers to behaviors and patterns that partners in a relationship that are ignorantly demeaning to the other person and can cause the relationship to end if they are not identified and stopped. That is what this film is about, honest communication and how it positively effects a relationship.
Bedegraine will be played by the amazing Lexsy Mckowen.

Bedegraine is a rather guarded and anxious person who likes everything in it’s proper place and for everyone to be on time if not early. She too loves Bravien.
We meet them on the day they have an appointment for couples counseling.

Where are we in the production process?
As of right now we are in preproduction. We rehearse once a week virtually and once a month we try and safely get together in person to do blocking rehearsals.
If all goes well and we don’t go back into lockdown, the plan is to shoot the film in February of 2021.
Then it will be in post-production for 3 to 6 months, after which we will begin to submit to film festivals.
Meet our Team!
