Silver Gleaming Death Machine is a new horror short written and directed by Tuff Contender’s Joe Mischo and co-written by Max Suechting. The dark comedy playfully illustrates some of advertisings most iconic brand tokens and how they subversively narrate (and score) our lives under less-than-ideal circumstances – 'less-than-ideal' being an understatement in this slightly gory horror flick. 

"Like many, during lockdown I had to find a creative outlet and began writing more and more,” comments Mischo. “This story is a bit of a reflection of the madness that ensues being trapped inside your own head infused with advertising tropes we all connect to whether want to or not. "  

Starring Rhian Rees (Halloween) and Shane Coffey (Pretty Little Liars), the film is an unsettling glimpse into Rees’ humdrum life that becomes unhinged by a car accident and her ominous son. The film is now streaming on Film Shortage platforms.
