Actor, Bill
Oberst Jr. (The Retrieval, Circus of the Dead, Criminal Minds) has
officially agreed to play the lead role opposite rising star, Dora Madison
Burge (Friday Night Lights, Dexter, That’s What I’m Talking About) in
Louis Edward Doerge’s horror/crime thriller, Night of the Babysitter. Bill
will be playing the enigmatic FATHER of Dora, who has enlisted his daughter’s
help in his year-long revenge against those he blames for the death of his
wife.
Bill
Oberst had this to say about his involvement in the film:
"One of the great pleasures of this business is encountering
rising young writing and directing talents on their way up. When those rising
talents also happen to take cinema seriously as an art form, as Louis Doerge
does, that's when real magic can happen. NIGHT OF THE BABYSITTER is dark and
sinister; bold and original. It's an arthouse crime film in the guise of a
horror movie. The script does what movies are supposed to do - it submerges the
reader's imagination into a world of the filmmaker's choosing, and I believe
the movie is going to do exactly the same thing. I'm excited to be onboard and
I hope fans of arthouse movies, thriller movies, horror movies and crime movies
(not to mention the legion of fans of Dora Madison Burge) will get excited
about it, too."
Doerge
said about Bill Oberst’s involvement, “We are extremely excited to be working
with the incredible talent that is Bill Oberst. He’s more than well versed in
these genres and is a cinematic force to be reckoned with.”
Night
of the Babysitter, which is going to be shot on Super 16mm film by Jeff Wedding
(Measure of the Sin), begins shooting late January. There is currently a
crowdfunding campaign on INDIEGOGO for the film. igg.me/at/notb. Money raised from the
campaign will go to paying crew salaries, so they don’t have to work for
deferred pay, and film processing costs.
