Shudder Takes On Female-Led Horror Film 'Fingers' | MarkMeets | Celebrity News, Music, Movies, TV, London Film Premieres

Comedy-horror film ‘Fingers’ has begun streaming on Shudder, the genre-driven streaming service. The psychological film from writer-director-producer Juan Ortiz and produced by Natalé Olsen (Steve Jobs) stars Sabina Friedman-Seitz (The Boy Downstairs), Jeremy Gardner (Bliss), and Michael St. Michaels (The Greasy Strangler).

The female powerhouse duo met on the set of ‘Fingers’ and have since gone on to partner on various film projects including Kimi Lee Howl’s ‘Kama’āina‘, which centers around a queer teen who navigates poverty in paradise on a journey to Pu’uhonua O Wai’anae, Hawaii’s largest ‘houseless’ community. The short film has played in over 70 plus film festivals and has been included in educational curriculums in Hawaiian schools.

Landing on Shudder, ‘Fingers’ follows Amanda (Sabina Friedman-Seitz), a woman who has a number of truly terrible phobias. It’s starting to affect her marriage, her fears are growing in their inconsistency and levels of strangeness, and her husband is struggling to cope with it. When Walter, an employee at her mental health app business, shows up to work one day grossly missing his pinky finger, Amanda is so disgusted that she runs out of work in a flurried panic, thus prompting her to reach out to a therapist to try and help conquer her life-altering problems. Attempting a form of immersion therapy, Dr. Scotty forces Amanda to meet with Walter, who mysteriously continues losing fingers. While the world thinks that Walter is imagining the source of his dismemberment, Amanda decides to face her fears head-on and by doing so finds herself in the middle of a strange world of organized crime.

‘Fingers’ screened at Chattanooga Film Festival, Fright Fest, Sydney Underground, Knoxville Horror, Night Visions, and Freak Show Horror.
