Director Biography - Lindsay Hopper, Kelly Tighe, Beth Berlin

This piece was a co-directed piece by the ladies of Middleclass Aftermath. MiddleClass Aftermath is a production company created by three female filmmakers. With most of our work, we expose the realities dealing with the fallout of the middle class, and the various ways it shapes the people who are in it or touched by it. We aim to produce content that prompts questions, finds the humor in trivial things, and push the limits of what’s “comfortable” in order to affect change. Currently known for our online comedy content. Most recently, we produced a short film that was all shot and edited during the stay-at-home orders in Los Angeles, which went on to win the audience award at the Bigfooters At-Home Film Festival in May of 2020. Additionally, we produce, write, and star in an ongoing live sketch comedy show called “The ____ Show”. We are consistently developing new content, including a feature film project and an episodic series in the works.

Director Statement

This Is Not A Coven is a project that originated at the Los Angeles 48 Hour Film Project in October of 2020. Amidst the pandemic, we got to a point where we wanted to create something, and the 48 hour film project was the perfect platform for that. This film was very much a collaborative creation, and all the actors also worked as crew and improvised different scenes.
