Let’s be honest, movies in which the main superhero is a female are quite uncommon. Films with female leads are thankfully becoming a bit more of a regular thing, but they rarely include a strong female character with superpowers as the lead hero. Even more rare? When that superhero is not only female, but also paranormal.
Anne Dark is intriguing live-action short superhero film that includes such a female as the central character. It tells the story of “a teen with dark superpowers, [who] fights against forces of darkness to save the world and enact revenge for her sister's death.” Unfortunately, it hasn’t gone into production yet and is still only a Kickstarter project.
Creator Brent Sims points out:
Anne Dark is my sophomore live-action short film with a scale twenty times larger than Grave Shivers and introduces the world to a strong female superhero role model which is rarely seen in modern cinema.

Grave Shivers is a wonderful little horror anthology short that combines three terrifying tales of monsters. It's directed by Brent Sims. It recently won the audience award at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Los Angeles.
About the Anthology:
A dark legend tells of a mysterious book with no identifiable author, the only thing known of its contents, its subject matter, is that it has magical… endless pages that contain stories of horror, wonder, and dread. Many have searched for it throughout the sands of time. Many have lost themselves in this quest, never to be heard from again. By other worldly assistance, or pure malevolence, one man has located this "book," and has dared to open its pages, to release it back on the world...
