Director Rachel Stavis\u2019s 2022 Acclaimed Horror Short Set To Re-Release October 10th On ALTER<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOS ANGELES, CA – Writer-director Rachel Stavis<\/a>, along with ALTER<\/a> \u2013 a media company at the forefront of celebrating the horror genre – announced today that the critically acclaimed 2022 short film, POSIES<\/em>, will be re-released on October 10th<\/sup> to coincide with the conclusion of music sensation Chappell Roan\u2019s summer tour, the brilliant composer of the short\u2019s original score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starring Anna Diop (Us<\/em>, Nanny, <\/em>\u201cTitans\u201d) and Andy Favreau (Ambulance, <\/em>\u201cLittle Fires Everywhere\u201d, \u201cChampions\u201d), and executive produced by Pamela Adlon (\u201cCalifornication\u201d, \u201cKing of the Hill\u201d, \u201cBetter Things\u201d), POSIES <\/em>first premiered at the LA Shorts International Film Festival before being selected to kick off Women\u2019s History Month by ALTER<\/a>. Touted as \u201cdark, twisted, and beautiful\u2026 perfect in almost every way\u2026\u201d POSIES <\/em>features Roan\u2019s original, hauntingly beautiful score that Stavis commissioned long before the now undeniable superstar made her mark on pop culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Having Chappell Roan\u2019s creativity and intensity strewn throughout POSIES<\/em> by way of the score that she so eloquently created was a dream come true,\u201d said Stavis, POSIES<\/em> writer and co-director. \u201cOur earliest discussions about this project centered around using her greatest instrument – her voice – to create a haunting, emotional, and atmospheric depth to the film. She captured exactly what we envisioned for this and did it virtually on her first try. It was extraordinary. She has an amazing gift of storytelling through music, and her composition remains one of the most unique and unforgettable elements of the film. We\u2019re beyond grateful that she was able to create something so special – specifically for me and my audience – before her inevitable rise to fame.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roan\u2019s track, \u201cBitter\u201d, also appears in the film. The original score was a well-kept secret, until now, and it\u2019s something that horror and music fans won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we sourced POSIES<\/em> from NFFTY, we knew it embodied the kind of boundary-pushing storytelling that ALTER is known for championing,\u201d said Sophie Carroll, Director of Creative at Gunpowder & Sky\u2019s ALTER and DUST. \u201cRachel\u2019s powerful narrative combined with Chappell Roan\u2019s hauntingly beautiful score creates a masterclass in atmosphere and emotion. With Rachel now developing feature films and television projects and Chappell rising as a household name, POSIES<\/em> perfectly illustrates why ALTER is dedicated to discovering and nurturing the next generation of horror innovators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABOUT RACHEL STAVIS:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel (R.H.) Stavis is a world-renowned, non-denominational exorcist who is on a mission to create global change by eradicating darkness from one person or place at a time.  She has dedicated her life to educating the masses on how to connect with Spirit, and how to safeguard our souls from the entities that attach to us. Known as Hollywood\u2019s best kept secret – serving rock icons, Oscar winners, and many more – she cleanses the darkness that consumes even the most elite. Her best-selling memoir, \u201cSister of Darkness: The Chronicles of a Modern Exorcist\u201d<\/a> (HarperCollins), examines how she became who she is, and how she helps the infected and tortured souls through exorcism. She explores how pain and trauma open us to attachment from forces that not only drain our energy but can even destroy our humanity. \u201cSister of Darkness\u201d is now currently in development for a scripted series adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, she hosted the Tubi Reality special, \u201cCelebrity Exorcism” featuring Shar Jackson, Metta World Peace, and Jodi Sweetin.
