Short Summary

We open on our main character, a young woman named Valquíria, on the phone with her mother. It is revealed through the conversation that Valquíria is a housekeeper on her way to her last job appointment. Valquíria has a new economic opportunity on the horizon and just needs to get through her last day of work to secure finances promised by the homeowner. When she arrives, she finds the homeowner gone and an unusually long list of chores that need to be completed by the end of the day. We follow Valquíria as she goes from room to room tending to the needs of the house. Things begin to slowly go awry, preventing her from finishing even a simple task. Feeling the pressure to complete the chores, she stumbles further into the house’s secrets and the mysterious plan it has for her. What follows is a descent into darkness shrouded by false promises threatening to derail her hopes of a better future when it is revealed the house is under the control of a nefarious presence. Valquíria must remain courageous to make it out of the house’s clutches, setting her free of the chains of evil and breaking free of the rigid social caste system that has prevented her from achieving her dreams.

Meet Our Team!

Ana Costa - Director, Writer

Bio: Hey everyone! My name is Ana Carolina Costa and I’m an Afro-Brazilian-American transfer student currently double majoring in Film Production and Critical Analysis at Keene State College. For the past year I’ve been serving as president of KSC Film Society, and am involved in two other film-based clubs here on campus. I love and consume all kinds of media; from anime and videogames, like Mob Psycho 100 and Silent Hill, to film and TV, like The VVitch and Twin Peaks; which gives me a wide range of material to learn and glean from for my own projects. I’m so excited to collaborate with this incredible crew to bring our story to life!

 

Dan Brierley - Producer, Writer, Production Designer & Head of Lighting

Bio: Hi there! My name is Dan Brierley and I am a Senior at Keene State College majoring in Film Production, Film Critical Analysis, and Women and Gender Studies. One of my passions is writing, so I really enjoy helping people develop ideas into fully formed concepts! I also love working with lighting to create really memorable visuals. I consider myself a true cinephile and love watching as many movies as I can so I can constantly find inspiration in new places! I can’t wait to work with this team of people even further!

 

Amanda Bevis - Editor, Cinematographer, Writer

Bio: Hello, my name is Amanda Bevis and I am a Film Production major at Keene State. I really love so many aspects of filmmaking, but my favorite parts of the process include editing and cinematography. My works include music videos, short films, and even videos for a local nursing home. I am also extremely excited to help write this film, as writing has been a major passion for me since childhood. I can’t wait to showcase my visionary lens for this project soon alongside this superbly creative crew!

 

Liliana Senecal - Producer, Cinematographer

Bio: Hello! My name is Liliana Senecal, I am a senior at Keene State College and I major in Film Production and Film Studies. Film production and all of its aspects has captivated me for years. I first found my love for cinematography the moment I laid my hands on a 4K film camera in 2016. The production portion of filmmaking is my favorite; from the chaos of a set, to finally bringing to life a concept that has been brewing. Recently, I have worked on a feature film and a handful of short films that are currently in post-production. I can’t wait to work with this wonderful crew, and to share our artform with you all!

Jill Freitag - Editor, Production Designer

Bio: Hi! My name is Jill Freitag and I am a Senior at Keene State College and I am going to be working more within the production and post-production side of this Capstone! I am extremely into working with visuals and color within the editing and production design aspect of filmmaking and I am so excited to work on this film with my fellow KSC film students and to work in that realm in the future!
