ACELDEMA'S
DREAM CATCHER
(35min)
COMEDIC AND
FRENZIED ROMP OF NEW AGE TERROR READY FOR FESTIVAL CIRCUIT
In the tradition of
the abominable Dr. Phibes and the infamous ILSA epics, comes Aceldema's
Dream Catcher a high action short starring Louanne Ponder, Ron Zisook,
and David Marshall all members of the award winning comedy collective,
The Illinore Show. With tongue firmly in cheek, this darkly stylish
production redefines the world of the "healing arts" in a
hilarious and unprecedented fashion! Boasting an all original soundtrack
produced by alternative press darling, Buzz McCoy
(My Life with The Trill Kill Kult), this is a package impossible to resist!
Meet Aceldema: the
Dr. Mengele of the New Age Healing. Together with her two cohorts, the
unbalanced Ian Harrison, and the shifty Kharman Ghia Sabrosa, she is set
to send the world of New Age Healing on its ear. Her methods and beliefs
may be beyond most human comprehension, but whoever said being first was
easy. Her ace in the hole is a device called the DREAM CATCHER. A mechanism
just beginning its test run after decades of intense research. Once donned
by a captive subject, the Dream Catcher is able to scan and manipulate
the sub conscious mind; however, there is one lingering and disturbing
problem: to date, not one single subject has survived a single session.
But one must not forget to make an omelet; you must break some eggs. The
good of humanity as a whole must come before the suffering of a few individuals.
Aceldema's quest for domination over mankind's subconscious reaches a
fevered pitch as her academy of New Age Healing opens for business in
a rural Louisiana. The captive student body is in for the fight of its
life in ACELDEMA'S DREAM CATCHER! A very funny and disturbing ride through
21st century fad spiritualism.

ACELDEMA A stunning
face, the body of Christy Turlington, and the mind of Dr. Mengele, all
rolled into one ball of new age obsessed fury. Of undetermined age and
origin, this high steppin' honey is possessed of the singular goal of
dominating the human subconscious. Fresh out of an intense two-year depression.
The "revitalized" Aceldema (thanks to Dr. Vandas of Caracas),
is set to conquer the commoners of this world with her groundbreaking
discovery, the Dream Catcher. Will Fishville, Louisiana ever be the same?
KHARMAN GHIA SABROSA
After a disastrous run at San Juan's Salon De Sebring, it was time for
this Puerto Rican coxcomb to take stock of his situation: change was indeed
in order. His close knit family was pushing him towards an unwanted career
as a nail technician, and the mounting stress was beginning to take its
toll although outwardly, one would never know. Barley into his forties,
the precise care with which he lavished on his appearance was apparent
he looked far younger. A semester at a junior college and the aforementioned
stint at San Juan's premier salon weren't enough to prepare this dandy
for his duties as head of metabolic typing at Dream Catcher Academy.
IAN HARRISON An unstable
home life, a succession of hurtful disappointments, and a lingering math
disability have all conspired to produce this neurosis ridden robot, presently
dedicated to his one and only obsession, the psychotic Aceldema. Possessor
of a fine and robust singing voice, this exercise enthusiast enjoys free
weights, wildlife programs, and disaster films.
