## Resource

This is Part 2, Behind the scenes of Erzulie with filmmaker Christine Chen. Christine talks about the making of the film, the pitfalls and struggles, the changes that had to be made and what the cast had to suffer because of the weather/flooding. Erzulie was filmed in a swamp and there was constant flooding, freezing water and cold nights. Christine worker on three other features on the same property. The script was written with this location in mind which had it’s pros and cons. Almost all leads on the crew were women and this is the first black mermaid film and first black mermaid horror film. Christine even consulted a priestess to get the makeup right and researched history and culture to honor it as much as possible. Christine also never forgets all those who helped her along the way. And she expects to makes two more sequels. Also, horror is not her the only genre she works with. Look her up, support indie films and women filmmakers. Her links are below.
