All-too revealing Facebook pages,  low-resolution cell phone photos, and anonymous chat room babble add to the hysteria: Are the girls doing the unspeakable in the dead of night? Just like a teenage girl cuts and pastes together magazine clippings, stickers, and photographs, SISTERHOOD is a filmic collage in which seemingly two-dimensional plastic characters and contrasting media forms are brought to life in a visceral ensemble piece. Individually, the girls are mysterious and fragmented; they hide from the spotlight of controversy in the shadows of their overexposed world. But together in the dark and still of night,  the girls of The Sisterhood function and breathe as one. As the visual interpreter, I build the case with evidence and then you be the judge: who is guilty of overexposure?” - Caryn Waechter, Director <img

Access Indiewire Tribeca Film Institute Variety Tribeca All Access Announcement Indiewire Backstage Steven Millhauser NY Times Steven Millhauser’s "Ghost Stories" Written over the span of three decades, Steven Millhauser’s stories find the weird in the prosaic. Landmark Theaters "My film The Illusionist is based on a short story, ‘Eisenheim the Illusionist’ by Steven Millhauser, who won the Pulitzer in 1997. His story is a beautifully written, lyrical gem—cinematic and transcendent." New York Times Review "Millhauser's fascination with childhood -- particularly the ease with which children negotiate those shifts between reality and illusion that are so troublesome to adults -- is evident in a number of the stories in The Knife Thrower...The richest of the stories in this vein is ‘The Sisterhood of Night.’" Boston Globe Review "Fans of Millhauser will find themselves happily in familiar territory with his new collection, The Knife Thrower and Other Stories. Once again he is looking over his shoulder -- to the past, to Europe, perhaps even to the future -- but always to something other than ordinary, earthbound late-20th-century life." http://thesisterhoodofnight-movie.com/The-Filmmakers http://thesisterhoodofnight-movie.com/following/thesisterhoodofnight-movie.com/The-Filmmakers Tue, 29 Nov 2011 04:27:48 +0000 The Sisterhood of Night 2378469 CARYN WAECHTER DIRECTOR  Caryn Waechter is a graduate of Columbia University’s MFA film program where she concentrated in Directing. Her first short film BEAT, shot guerrilla-style on super 8mm, marked her as a visceral visionary with a sense of rhythm—mixing fiction with cinema verite inside real underground parties. Her thesis film God is Good, written by Dennis Lee, was awarded the New Line Cinema Award for Best Director, The Kodak Film Grant, Special Jury Prize at the USA Film Festival, First Prize for Editing at the Rhode Island Film Festival, Narrative Short Finalist in the IFP Market, and Top Prize at the Chinese-American Festival of Film and Culture, where she was flown to China to screen and talk about her film. Waechter is a main contributor to Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald’s Youtube documentary Life in a Day, where her footage on July 24th was picked from 80,000 submissions and 4,500 hours. It premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, where Waechter was invited to talk about her filming process, and was released theatrically by National Geographic Films on July 24th, 2011. She works as an editor and photographer/shooter in New York City. MARILYN FU SCREENWRITER  Marilyn Fu received the William Goldman Screenwriting Fellowship from Columbia University in 2000. In 2007, she was honored with the Tribeca Film Festival's Creative Promise Award in Screenwriting for The Sisterhood of Night. Her following screenplay, Little Altars, was a quarterfinalist for the 2008 Don and Gee Nicholl Fellowships. Marilyn graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a BA in English, and Columbia University with an MFA in Screenwriting. She is a writer/reporter for LIFE Books and a member of the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, for which she also moderates discussions with filmmakers, producers, and actors.

But even the most immaculate of towns has its share of secrets, and in Fairview, it involves a group of girls who sneak out after sunset to meet in secret locations around town. One morning at church, Emily Parris, the school's needy gossip girl, exposes a secret society of girls called The Sisterhood of Night, and accuses them of deviant activities unimaginable to those living behind white picket fences. The allegations throw quiet Fairview into the public eye and blogosphere. The mystery only deepens when each of the accused refuses to explain herself and an on-line investigation for evidence yields...nothing. Frenzied and perturbed, the Parent-Teacher Association asks Gordy Milliken, the well-meaning guidance counselor, to interview each of the girls to get to the bottom of the matter. Three of the girls are particularly suspicious: Mary Warren, the alleged leader of The Sisterhood who is covertly hooking up with a boy from school; Catherine Huang, who has a crush on David Beckham and hides her fear of losing her mom to cancer; and Lavinia Hall, a child prodigy pianist who doubts she'll ever be kissed.  Though pressure mounts and the investigation turns invasive, Mary, Catherine, Lavinia, and the other members of The Sisterhood hold their vow of silence, even as their classmates begin to assume things of them that may or may not be true. Why are they willing to risk so much, just for a nighttime gathering in the woods? What, then, are the girls' deepest secrets? The Sisterhood of Night chronicles three girls' unique and provocative alternative to the loneliness of adolescence and the digital abyss, along the way revealing the tragedy and humor of growing up--unprecedented in an Internet age that is here to stay, and timeless in its resounding echoes of betrayal and friendship. <img src="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/4/149369/2378343/prom dresses.png" width="492" height="328" width_o="492" height_o="328" src_o="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/4/149369/2378343/prom dresses_o.png" data-mid="11961373" border="0" align="left"/>
