How to Horror with Sarah Wisner and Sean Temple

Brian Carroll of Vermont Production Collective will be in conversation with acclaimed, Montpelier-based horror directors, Sean Temple and Sarah Wisner about how YOU can craft a compelling, short horror film. They will discuss how to build tension, detailed world-building, the current state of horror, and answer audience questions. Come out for this spooky panel discussion and get inspired for JAM’s Halloweenathon film contest later in the month!

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS

Sarah Wisner (she/her) and Sean Temple (they/he) are a queer writing and directing team committed to telling character-driven genre stories with personal and socially-conscious themes. They believe that the horror genre is an invaluable entry point to exploring the human psyche and social condition, and that horror is most effective when it achieves high levels of audience engagement and identification. Wisner and Temple use subtlety and nuance to invite their audiences to derive their own layers of meaning from their thoughtfully composed visuals. Their short films have been featured in numerous festivals and contests, including Fantastic Fest, Beyond Fest, Boston Underground Film Festival, Sidewalk Film Festival, White River Indie Film Festival and many more.
