Prostitute
El principio de I Sell the Dead es una auténtica declaración de intenciones: hordas de gente en la plaza de un pueblo del siglo XIX gritan encendidas ante una guillotina a punto de cortar en dos al mismísimo Larry Fessenden. El filo cae y el busto del director de Wendigo rueda. La pantalla se tiñe de rojo. Fessenden y Dominic Monaghan (el Charlie de Perdidos) interpretan a dos ladrones condenados a muerte. El segundo optará por confesar sus interminables fechorías a un cura con el rostro de Ron Perlman, que aquí abandona el rojo demoníaco de Hellboy para sumirse en el rojo de la sangre.

Filmmaker Todd Verow revisits his own youth for his latest work. The film's main character is Joe, who, like the director, grew up in Bangor in Maine. Joe, an 18 year old high school senior who longs to move away from poor white trash roots and this town, and dreams of attending art school, lives with his single mother and older sister Theresa on a notorious council estate called "Capehart Projects". Molested at the age of ten, Joe nevertheless decides to keep the incident to himself. He befriends an elderly disabled artist named Victor who hires him as houseboy/model. Joe moves in with Victor in his loft above the local opera house, hoping to escape Bangor with his help. He also works part time at a local market along with his sister, who wants to get out of town as much as he does. For most of high school, Joe has also had a crush on his best friend, Andrew, who plays on the high school football team.
