Directed by comic book artist and writer Dan Schaffer, Electric Meat is a surreal, psychosexual thriller told without any dialogue. The plot focusses on a photographer who spirals into madness when a murdered model he's adopted as his new muse decides she doesn't want to stay dead.
Caspian Faye, Emily Booth, Nina Courson, Jasmine Sumner and Sylvia Soska star.
"Electric Meat is an exploration of the thin line between life and meat," says Schaffer. "The film questions what happens when love and art, what I see as the only defences against the existential threat of death, are corrupted by desperation, delusion, and conformity."
Electric Meat receives its world premiere at FrightFest on August 28th.
