When a group of Tisch students moved to New Orleans in 2005 and formed the Nola Project, they wanted to bring high-quality drama back to the Big Easy. That stirring of the pot, combined with the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina, shook up the New Orleans theater scene like never before.

*Here be some spoilers.
Director: Griff Furst.
Writer: Eric Miller and Griff Furst.
Tagline: "Dying is the easy part."
Lafayette, Louisiana is continuing to develop an indie film making scene, with Active Entertainment and Bullet Films debuting one of their first slashers this year. The title is Mask Maker, previously Maskerade. Set in farmland, a manor house holds unimagined voodoo curses and one killer with a serious identity problem. He compensates for a disfigured face with the peeled grimaces of others. Not for the squeamish, Mask Maker's best qualities are its hoodoo mythos, the excellent acting, and some exceptionally gory scenes.
A young child is accidentally cut along the top of the skull and soon, infection sets into the wound. Nothing will heal this injury, until his mother turns to a voodoo spell. The stumbling block comes about when she has to sacrifice animals and later humans to keep her son alive.
