They thought she had the perfect life; wealthy and privileged, an honor student with her whole life mapped out. What they didn’t know was what lied inside of her; pain and anguish; tearing at her until there was nothing left. Lost and alone, the young women (Heather Dorff), finds solace in the form of a glistening blade, splitting her skin deeply. Her obnoxious sister (Kelsey Zukowski) and her self-indulgent mother (Kitsie Duncan) are completely oblivious to her inner-turmoil. She has long since become numb to the world around her, getting that sensual release as the razor cuts deeper, watching the blood drip is all that matters. As soon as the last drop falls, the calm is stripped away from her with it. How far will she go to silence the hunger that now consumes her? Will she be able to regain control of her life, body, and sanity?
What They Say is based on a short story written by first-time producer and star of the film, Heather Dorff. Dorff says, “There is no true way to verbalize what this project means to me. This has been a tough, scary, and draining process, but it was very much worth it. The end result will prove just how much the entire cast and crew have put into this film.”


What They Say wrapped production in the end of May after filming over the previous month. Post-production is nearly complete, with a first edit completed and a new trailer released! Screenwriter, Kelsey Zukowski, says, “It was really amazing seeing Heather’s original vision and the script I had created come to life before me on set. With the extremely talented and dedicated group of individuals behind the film and the dark, disquieting, and phantasmagorical nature that emerged, I have the up most faith that What They Say will be just as powerful as we imagined it could be”. The film is set to premiere at the Chicago Horror Film Festival in September, which Dorff will be hosting. From there it will continue a 6 month festival run before it’s DVD release.
Afraid of Sunrise director, Justin Romine of Fathead Films, directed the dark drama. Romine says, “What They Say is as awesome as the Hangover, just not nearly as funny.” The film also stars Kelsey Zukowski, Kitsie Duncan, Tina Renee Grace, Jolene Aldus, and Tyler Klunick. Both Zukowski and Grace also appear in Romine’s, Afraid of Sunrise, a dark vampire short, which Dorff stars in. Close friends and constant co-stars, Dorff and Zukowski have nearly a dozen projects with one another including Inhumane, Trick or Eat, and Poetic. Kelsey Zukowski and Jolene Aldus also co-star in Headline News, directed by Willy Adkins, one of the producers behind What They Say. Headline News will also premiere at the Chicago Horror Film Festival, which is run by Adkins. Aldus will also be co-starring again with Tyler Klunick, one of the only male actors in What They Say, in WTS producer, Travis Legge’s, upcoming superhero web series, Legacy of the Masque.
Kitsie Duncan has worked with both Dorff and Zukowski multiple times, What They Say already being the second time Kitsie played Heather’s mother. The first being the twisted horror feature, Mother’s Blood, which was filming almost simultaneously with What They Say. For Dorff, both characters were very emotionally draining. She had to step away from the producing aspect, and fully throw herself in to her character’s mindset once filming was underway.
The film really focuses on the alienation of the main character and lets us inside her head throughout her weakest moments. Still, everyone around her is responsible for this alienation, pushing her closer and closer to the darkness. Director of Photography, Nicole Klemens, was a key part in making the surreal script in to a haunting reality. Klemens speaks on the film, “What They Say is imaginative and creepy; definitely for those who enjoy dark themes and good, old-fashioned gore.”

Evil lies within. How long will it stay there?
After years of fighting, vampires and humans come to a truce-with the vamps getting the short end of the stick. Relegated to second class citizens, they are forced to live in ghettos and microchipped to track their movements. Adding insult to injury, they also must get their blood from specially sanctioned government blood banks.
Although the Hunters have officially disbanded, Jonathan Sloan and his small crew of ex-Hunters track down “illegals” trying to uncover a conspiracy of a vampire cabal that plans on overthrowing the government and returning the vampires back to their former glory.
Jonathan must also come to grips with his past and decide where his loyalties lie in dealing with his feelings for Perrey, the love of his life.. a vampire.
When nature takes over, love is not enough.
“Vamperifica” is the story of Carmen McCoy, a flamboyant, twenty-something, sometime student at a small community college, who wants nothing more than to hang out with his best friend Tracy, be in a musical production at school, and maybe, one day, be a star. Instead, he discovers that for him, destiny has something else in store — he is the reincarnation of the 200 year old vampire king, Raven.
Now, Carmen must choose between his friends and that destiny.
“Vamperifica” is a mix of comedy and tenderness, drama and action, friendship and isolation, even a musical number! But it is also a story of the disenfranchised, and a dream of empowerment for all those who have felt as if they have been left behind. It is the story of all of us who have ever been told that we are somehow broken, and the triumph of the spirit when we stand tall and proclaim, “No We Are Not!”.

Forced to survive in the wild, starving nearly to death, this little girl learns to fend for herself while living like an animal off the land.

Disregarding warnings of bears and mountain lions by a local sheriff, the couples soon discover their idea of ‘roughing it in the woods’ is far from what they envisioned in the city they left behind, when a vicious, ghostly creature appears from the woods and begins to stalk them. Is it a wild animal like a cougar, a wolf, or a bear that’s hunting them? Is it the axe-wielding crazy camper inhabiting the shoreline, seen by the couples as they are boating on the lake? Or perhaps a more sinister presence stalks them at their Cabin on Claw Lake? Their late-night party soon turns horrific as one by one, the northwoods vacationers disappear.
