“Where are you? Leave your house!” A brand new must see horror short film has debuted online this week. Mama Bear is a horror short under 5 minutes created & directed by Curry Barker, Hollywood’s favorite young new director responsible for creating the horror hit of the year Obsession (have you seen it?). Even though the title hints that it’s connected with the One-Wish-Willow universe of Obsession, it seems to be in its own twisted world. Though something similar is going on in here… The hints are found within. The short story follows a man who wakes up to phone calls galore. It seems his girlfriend is coming after him and she bursts in at the end with a gun. But why? What did he – or someone else – do? Mama Bear stars Jon Lee Richardson as Floyd, Katie Sarife, Ericka Kreuz, Joshua Snyder. Barker states: “Thanks to Windows for sponsoring this short film.” From what I can tell in this film, it’s almost as if someone else One-Wish-Willow’d themselves to be a doppelgänger or make a copy of Floyd and then, well, very bad things happened.
Thanks to Twitter for the tip on this short film dropping online. Posted on his old YouTube channel “that’s a bad idea” – Meet Curry and Coop, a horrible sketch comedy duo!. From the mind of Curry Barker… Made in collaboration with Windows. Mama Bear is written and directed and edited by the American indie actor / writer / filmmaker Curry Barker, director of the films Milk & Serial and Obsession previously, plus tons of other short films. Produced by Jenna Lonergan. Executive produced by Brian Hoff, Laura Lucchetti, Evelina Trapani. Made by Hoff Studios, Poster Child, Droga5, and Microsoft. With cinematography by Riley Barker, and production design by Vivian Gray. For more info on the short, visit the film’s official YouTube page – or follow Curry Barker’s YT account for more.
