First Stills From Nicanor Loreti's Broken Hearts and Bones

It hasn't really broken on these shores yet but, as any regular reader of ScreenAnarchy should have realized over the past few months, there's a growing genre film movement in Argentina. A small group of film makers - Daniel De La Vega, Hernan Findling and Nicanor Loreti prime among them - are at the core of the movement, working on each other's projects and even having their talents recognized abroad with foreign productions such as Albert Pyun's Left For Dead heading down to Argentina to stretch their budgets and signing the entire crew on in key roles, Pyun using Loreti and Findling as producers, De La Vega as director of photography.

Well, between time spent writing Dying God and producing Left For Dead, Loreti has been working on his own project, an experimental horror film titled Broken Hearts and Bones. We're hoping to see some footage soon but in the meantime Loreti has sent us the first two stills along with this synopsis:

BROKEN HEARTS AND BONES is an experimental horror film about a girl who gets off on murder. She leads a semingly normal life but is really a deranged serial killer. The film follows her (strange) everyday life,
and the one of another killer... until they finally meet.

It's shot on DV and features comic book-manga like sequences (with actors), blood, crazy visuals inspired by the works of Shinya Tsukamoto,Wong Kar Wai, Brian De Palma, Richard Stanley and collaborations by underground sensations like German Magariños (director of Sadomaster) -who will direct a segment a la Tarantino in Sin City-, Santiago (singer of the cult band D'Agosta), Mariano Cattaneo of Kandar Productions, etc. Our idea is to make a bloody, original film, and to keep on doing whatever we want...

Continue on for the stills.
