A new clip from the supernatural horror comedy Jethica is here ahead of its World Premiere at this month’s SXSW. In the clip two friends argue over the identity of a man behaving strangely. Is it Kevin?
In the film, hiding out in New Mexico after a freak accident, Elena runs into Jessica, an old friend from high school. When Jessica’s stalker suddenly shows up at their door, they must seek help from beyond the grave to get rid of him, for good.
The film marks the third feature from Pete Ohs, one of Filmmaker Magazine’s 2013 ‘25 New Faces of Independent Film’ and co-director of the award-winning Julia Garner lead sci-fi fable Everything Beautiful Is Far Away. It stars Austin-raised actress Callie Hernandez (The Flight Attendant, Blair Witch [2016]), Will Madden (Beast Beast, The Wolf Of Snow Hollow), Ashley Denise Robinson (Taking Stock), and Andy Faulkner (Youngstown).
Jethica was shot in New Mexico in January 2021, in the midst of the pandemic, and world premieres at SXSW in the Visions section. The film boldly blends and bends genres, a sharp comedy about two women and a with an undead edge.
Conceived and created through radical approaches to filmmaking, Pete Ohs continues to push the boundaries of indie film, collaborating with his four leads on the script and story of Jethica, each of whom shares writing credits, and editing the feature live last year on Twitch. The film is produced by Ohs and executive produced by Ryan Kempe.
