There are few things we enjoy more here at Dread Central than helping out indie filmmakers, and today we're happy to point our readers in the direction of all three parts of Staci Layne Wilson's short "The Key to Annabel Lee [A Woman in Triptych]". Staci decided to post them online, and of course we have them right here!
Narrating and starring in the film — made up of three segments in all, best described as a cinematic form of installation art — is Nivek Ogre, famous as the lead singer of the industrial rock band Skinny Puppy. Diane Goldner appears as a wolflike seducer in two sections, but the star of the show, as in the Edgar Allan Poe poem, is Annabel Lee herself (played by Cherilyn Wilson, Corrie Shenigo, and Staci Layne Wilson). She is the triptych of the tale, representing the mythological Three Fates through the poetry of motion.

We've been talking about Staci Layne Wilson's upcoming short "The Key to Annabel Lee [A Woman in Triptych]" for a while now, and this week marks both the end of principal photography and the opening of the film's official website - on Edgar Allan Poe's birthday no less!
"Interestingly enough," says Wilson, "wrap date was locked in on Poe's birthday [January 19th]. We had some rather remarkable coincidences every date we shot — we commenced on December 8, 2010, which marked the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's assassination (whose song 'Imagine' fits our theme as well) and finished the bulk of our filming on December 15, the day one of my favorite directors and a great inspiration, Jean Rollin, passed away." The director adds, "I also think it's interesting to note that 'Annabel Lee' is the last complete poem composed by Poe, and it's the very first thing I directed."

Staci Layne Wilson's upcoming short film "The Key to Annabel Lee" has, in Staci's words, evolved into a form of "installation art", and to give us a better idea of what to expect, she's provided Dread Central with two new exclusive stills and a quick clip.
The film stars Cherilyn Wilson (Parasomnia), Corrie Shenigo (After You), Diane Ayala Goldner (Feast I, II, III), and Nivek Ogre (Repo! The Genetic Opera) as "The Narrator". It involves an evil seductive wolf character (played by Goldner) and three incarnations of the tragic character of Edgar Allan Poe's Annabel Lee, played by three different actresses (Wilson, Shenigo, and Staci herself). Shot in Southern California on the shores of southern Los Angeles beaches, "The Key to Annabel Lee" uses gorgeous sweeping shots of ocean vistas as a backdrop for much of the action.

A new short film based on the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe.
Principal photography has wrapped on The Key to Annabel Lee, the directorial debut of film journalist Staci Layne Wilson (who also wrote the script), who has been a key member of the genre journalist faction for years at outlets like Cinefantastique, Syfy.com, and Horror.com.
Like several other new major journalists-turned-filmmakers (Jovanka Vucovick, Stacie Ponder, and Andrew Kasch) Wilson has decided to pick up the reigns and make the kind of film she'd like to see; one with amazing colors, costumes, makeup, emotion, and fantastical tragedy with a touch of the sensual.
The film stars Cherilyn Wilson (Parasomnia), Corrie Shenigo (After You), Diane Ayala Goldner (Feast I, II, III), and Nivek Ogre (Repo! The Genetic Opera) as "The Narrator", sporting a rather awesomely idealized Poe-esque demeanor and costume.
