EGOMANIAC
Dir. Kate Shenton
UK, 2016

All filmmaker Catherine Sweeney (Nic Lamont) wants to do is make a horror film - a zombie romantic comedy with heart and a lot of guts. But everybody around her seems to be intent on interfering with her vision. Egomaniac is a story of filmmaking at any cost written and directed by Kate Shenton, one of the most interesting new voices on the UK genre scene. Egomaniac is a dark comedy with horror at its core - or a horror film with a darkly comic twist.
