5.29 Rae Dawn Chong To Direct '7 MAGPIES':




Rae Dawn Chong has signed on to direct one of the segments for Cruell World Productions upcoming horror anthology flick '7 Magpies'... The project will be the first All African-American Female Written & Directed Horror Anthology films...

Created by L.C. Cruell. Ancient superstitions in many cultures have considered magpies to be a bird of ill omen. According to one old superstition, the number of magpies one sees determines if one will have bad luck or not.


7 Magpies
One for sorrow,
Two for mirth,
Three for a wedding,
Four for a birth,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told


Following the themes of this centuries old nursery rhyme. 7 African-American directors (L.C. Cruell, Nicole Renee Simmons, Lary Love Dolley, etc.) will film 7 haunting, unforgettable supernatural/horror shorts based on the works of 7 African-American female horror fiction authors (Linda Addison, Valjeanne Jeffers, Crystal Connor, Eden Royce, Paula Ashe, Sumiko Saulson, etc.) Too many people were wondering if we even existed. Our answer - a resounding yes!
