Eerie New Poster For Chad Crawford Kinkle’s JUG FACE

Need something to get your heart racing on this Monday morning?

Check out the new poster for Chad Crawford Kinkle’s JUG FACE. Starring Sean Young, Lauren Ashley Carter, Sean Bridgers, Larry Fessenden, and Daniel Manche, the film that made its world premiere at Slamdance 2013 (Kinkle’s script won the 2011 Slamdance Screenwriting & Teleplay Competition Grand Prize) will have its theatrical release later this summer.

The pit has spoken. Dawai, the potter of a backwoods community, has crafted a face on a ceramic jug of the person that the pit wants sacrificed. Ada, pregnant with her brother’s child, has seen her face on the jug and hides it in the woods, determined to save the life of her unborn. If she does not sacrifice herself however, the creature from the pit will kill everyone in the village until she does.

According to the director, the idea for JUG FACE came from a trip to a southern folk pottery art museum in north Georgia.

My wife’s aunt and uncle live just up the street from the newly built museum and wanted to take us by. The pottery that I found there was surprising.

It wasn’t the bowls or dishes, it was the face jugs that caught my attention. They were basic jugs but with ugly faces on them that were used to store moonshine and poisons for farming. I was immediately attracted to the disturbing, grotesque expressions of the faces.

As I watched a video of a potter in overalls talking about making face jugs, I saw in my mind a possessed potter with white eyes standing in a pit. Then I saw the potter craft a face jug with a girl’s face on it. I knew that it must be the face of someone from the community that the potter lived in. That the pit wanted her to be sacrificed.

The idea captured exactly what I focus on in my films; a southern gothic literature feel mixed with the eighties horror movies that I grew up watching.
