Additional Project Info
This is a warped, satirical retelling of The Sound of Music, written in the sacred-cow-killing vein of Freaky or Krampus, and in the villain-reclaiming tradition of Maleficent, Cruella, or Joker. In addition to the accolades here, it was a finalist in the Script Studio, Creative Worlds, and TITAN Awards screenwriting contests.
