Red Flag: A Horror Series Taking on Patriarchy and Empowering Women

One of our editor-in-chiefs, Justine Norton-Kertson, is one of the writers and creators of this horror series called Red Flag. It’s all about a coven of witches who flip the script on predatory men by turning them into prey. It’s like Charmed meets Dexter but with social relevance.

They’ve already cast the three main protagonists, have a number of location agreements in place, have access to three soundstages with greenscreens, and plan to begin filming this fall. Their pre-production crowd funder launched yesterday and hit its base funding goal in less than 24 hours!

Generally, pre-production budgets pay for things like casting, filming permits, wardrobe, props and practical fx prep, and legal fees (for drafting solid cast and crew contracts). So the more they can raise the better the actual production phase (filming) will be.

If you’re a horror fan, or just a fan of Justine’s work, we highly suggest you check out the campaign and throw them some support by backing the project and sharing the campaign link on your social media.

  1. As a big fan of Dexter I’m really excited about this! Hoping it’ll be more goodies like the werewolves from Trick ‘r Treat and it sounds like it.

    I just need it to happen FASTER. This will be a rough wait.
