#HFF19 @HOLLYWOODENCORE #WINNER# She Kills Monsters 8/15 8pm, 8/17 8pm @HobgoblinPHouse @skmhff2019 #LATHTR Ensemble (Comedy), Ensemble (Drama) Think of Jumanji but instead of being thrown into the jungle, you have to fight your way through a live DnD session! The only way for older sister Agnes (Vivi Thai) to get to know her nerdy younger sister Tilly (Susannah Snowden-Ifft) is through a game of Dungeons and Dragons... and she is NOT prepared. Re-imagined with Japanese-style sword-fighting, soundscapes, and shadow-puppetry, this journey of loss and discovery has something for geeks and non-geeks alike. And there’s monsters. Lots and lots of monsters. http://hff19.org/5765 https://skmhff2019.wixsite.com/shekillsmonsters http://hff19.org/5765
