I like to describe "Pruitt & Igoe", as “Boyz N Da Hood” meets “Halloween”. The film’s central question is simple, what would happen if your typical slasher villain skipped over the suburbs and infiltrated one of the most dangerous streets in America? The residents of the fictionalized neighborhood, "Pruitt & Igoe", -named after the infamous St Louis Housing Projects of the 1950s- are no strangers to violence, so if you come to their hood, you better come correct. Shot directly on location in North St. Louis’s Walnut Park East neighborhood, Pruitt & Igoe looks to make its mark as a unique entry into the slasher genre.

- NoteDirector Biography - Rachael Daniels A76a2575a4 headshot My name is Rachael Daniels, and I’m a first-time filmmaker from Oakland California. I started my journey in film, as a screenwriter. I attended the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting back in 2017, and “Pruitt & Igoe” was the first feature-length screenplay I wrote for the program. After years of rewrites and a dozen drafts, I was encouraged by my professors to shoot a short film based on the feature-length script I wrote. And the rest, as they say, is history. Being able to bring the words and characters that have sat with me in my head for over half a decade to life was an experience like no other. As a first-time director, my job was made immensely easier thanks to the hard work and dedication of our all St Louis cast and crew. I would not be submitting this film if it weren’t for them.
