Jessica M. Bair is the producer of the new horror film Blood Fare, which she describes as a "fast-paced, fun, and suspenseful ghost story, with a plot around the 150th anniversary of the US Civil War, which we celebrate next year."
Blood Fare is the 4th independent genre feature film of lesbian filmmaker J.A. Steel.
Sultry comedian Bridget McManus, who will play 'Kayla', probably a villainess.
The film, which is in production, stars Gil Gerard (of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century fame) as Professor Meade, mentor to the protagonist Tyler, a lesbian PhD student in a committed relationship. Also joining the cast are three celebrity lesbians (celebrians? lesebrities?): Michelle Wolff (Dante’s Cove), Bridget McManus (Logo’s “That Time of the Month”) and Natalie Garcia (Showtime’s "The Real L Word" Live Lounge.)
Here is the official synopsis: Corporal Henry Trout fought valiantly in the forgotten skirmish of the Lethe Confluence during the Civil War. The year was 1861. In 2011, he will come face to face with his descendants as the battle for blood begins. Tyler and her brother Chad, Henry's fifth generation grandchildren, will challenge the very legend of Charon the Ferryman, as the lines between the living and the dead become blurred.
Blair goes to say that "Most LGBTQI writers/directors make drama, comedy or documentary films. It is what our community is well known for, and has provided some amazing performances and characters over the past decades. This has created a foundation of understanding and support from fair minded audiences, and now there is more opportunity for mainstream 'cross-over' films, that entertain through good story telling, where the characters just happen to be LGBTQI."
I believe the "I" in "LGBTQI" stands for "Intersex", but I am not sure. It is a recent addition to the acronym.
So, what she's saying is, she wants more lesbian horror films. Also, they're eco-friendly and committed to 'green' filmmasing, because lesbians are in tune with nature. At all times, during production of Blood Fare, and "eco/sustainable production executive will be on set to help ensure we able to certify as a "green" production."
J.A. Steels's fantasy action film Salvation is one of our favorites, complete with Knights Templar and J.A. Steel herself doing sword fights.
