Interview with Debasree Banerjee (GERALDINE HALL)

Matthew Toffolo: What is your screenplay about?

Debasree Banerjee: The script is a Gothic Horror with elements of neo-noir. It focusses on the story of two orphans who’re adopted to Geraldine Hall, a vast labyrinthine manor house, with a dark and mysterious past.

2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?

Horror, Thriller, Gothic Fiction, Noir, Neo-noir

3. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?

This screenplay, if taken up for cinematic adaptation, would require very little props and outdoor locations, i.e. it can literally be filmed on shoe-string budgets. Moreover, with films like ‘Get Out’ being nominated in Best Movies category, the trend of horror movies catching up with dramas or romantic fictions, is obvious. I feel, this is the right time for launching this script, with the audience taking more interest in a plethora of movies from the Horror genre.
