BACKGROUND STORIES
LO
VE AND DEMONS is perhaps the most visually aggressive of all nine C AND L feature films. The script, a comedy, was written during the production of CENTAUR and has a similar structure.
In 2011, Canadian actress/playwright Lucia Frangione expressed interest in working on the project when she was starring in, appropriately, NO EXIT (Sartre's play about four characters trapped in hell), at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Chris Pflueger returns for his fifth major role with C AND L, and Arnica Skulstad Brown plays a lead troublemaker in this demonic romance.
