Female Horror Director is Here

Tricia Lee is fast proving that horror is no longer just for the guys.  As part of an increasing number of strong female voices working in the horror and thriller genre, Tricia Lee has come out as a vocal and innovative creative force, staking her claim in the male dominated landscape.  As the appetite for female-centric horror films grows, Tricia’s blend of strong female characters and compelling stories complement the blood, guts, and terror with genuine emotional resonance. 

Fresh off the film festival success of her first two movies, Silent Retreat and Clean Break, Tricia Lee and A Film Monkey Production are gearing up for their third feature, One Drop.  Lee is currently looking for financing to tell the story of a woman who overdoses, and wakes up in a medical facility only to discover that everyone is dead and she’s nine months pregnant.  Working once again with long time collaborator, writer Corey Brown, Lee can’t wait to take the audience on another terrifying journey.

One Drop is launching after a busy two months for director Tricia Lee.

October saw the world premiere of Silent Retreat at Toronto After Dark where it won The Best Canadian Feature award.  It earned high praise from many critics including Rue Morgue Magazine which said “Silent Retreat beautifully blends supernatural horror with the terrors of the real world...”

One premiere wasn’t enough for Lee.  Her film Clean Break also celebrated its world premiere in October at The Atlanta Horror Film Festival, where it won the Best Drama Feature award.  In November, it had its Canadian premiere at The Blood in The Snow Festival in front of a sold-out crowd.  There it earned strong reviews, particularly for Tianna Nori’s portrayal of Tracy, the perfect girlfriend with a murderous appetite for perfection.

Several recent articles, including Meredith Borders recent posting on http://badassdigest.com/, are asking “Where are the Female Horror Filmmakers?”  Tricia Lee is proud to answer, “Right here!” and with the recently announced anthology film XX, featuring stories directed by some of horror’s greatest female directors, it’s clear that the female horror community is answering just as loudly.  For Tricia Lee, coming off the one, two punch of Silent Retreat and Clean Break, it is thrilling to see this shift in the genre landscape, and she’s excited to scare audiences again with her next film.
