IT'S ABOUT A troubled stripper named Venus, whose quiet life is
upended when Brian - the love of her life - Breaks up with her… and now
Venus, disturbed to begin with, starts a downward spiral into maddening
psychosis. BUT… THERE'S A TWIST. And we don't want to give it away by
outlining the entire plot of our film… Find Out More:
WE PROMISE A VERY SEXY, GROUNDED, CHARACTER-DRIVEN, TWISTED
TALE!!! But at our story's core, and what will set this film apart from
standard genre fare, is a deeply human story about the pain of
heartbreak. A Love Tragedy. We promise escape. THE DARK SIDE OF VENUS
will not only be that escape, it’ll be a ride – always surprising,
always thrilling, and always shockingly psychotic in the best of ways.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE DIRECTOR: JON KNAUTZ
After the
successes of his short films, Jon parlayed his talent into his first
feature film JACK BROOKS:MONSTER SLAYER starring Robert Englund (the
infamous Freddy Krueger from A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET). The film
gained considerable attention throughout the festival circuit and
received rave reviews. The film screened at the 2008 Slamdance film
festival and subsequently sold to Anchor Bay. His second feature, THE
SHRINE, premiered at the 2010 FanTasia Int'l Film Festival and won the
Audience Award for Best Canadian Feature. Shortly after, the film was
purchased by IFC and is currently streaming on NETFLIX.
