The Demon Lady Begins


Hey everybody, Chris Conner here. Any fans out there of my webseries Prep School Blues might know some of my work. I am a senior at NYU Tisch School of the Arts majoring in film and television production. After shooting the third and final season of Prep School Blues: The Web Series, I am turning my attention to my senior thesis film for NYU Tisch School of the Arts for the spring semester. This film explores a queer love story through the genre of gothic horror. I'll be posting some information on my thesis film here and on the PSB blog as we get further into prouduction. Thanks for visiting and feel free to come back anytime for more updates and information.
