The Other Brontë Sister (2010)
As the Brontë sisters debate their family legacy, their fourth sister Linda reveals she has a book that will cement their place in literary history… and the future of the world.
Hi all, a quick word from our end. It’s very satisfying to have seven months of work behind us, but we’re hungry for more. Much more. In the coming weeks, we are going to begin shooting a new skit and start preproduction on another. We’re pretty excited about what’s coming up.
Also, we just sent off The Other Brontë Sister to SXSW and Slamdance. So here’s hoping we’ll being see you in Park City and/or Austin next year!
It’s finally here! After seven months of back-breaking work, painstaking editing, and mind-blowing special effects, we’re very proud to unveil what is easily Bland Hack’s most ambitious work to date.
Spanning a thousand years, the skit features four lovely ladies of Twinhead Theatre as the Brontë sisters in what is — let’s face it — the best and most accurate depiction of the literary family yet. And what would a skit about the Brontës be without copious blood and explosions? Take a look!
Of course, Julian and I could never have done this on our own. HUGE thanks and eternal gratitude (and seriously, just complete awe) to Kenneth Uzquiano for his amazing special effects. He completely exceeded any expectations we had about this skit. Thanks Ken!
Also, you may have noticed the incredible new redesign of our site, courtesy of Germain Perez. It’s still under construction in some places (where my gifs at?), but should still fulfill your Bland Hack needs.
And, if that wasn’t enough new shit to keep you occupied, Bland Hack has a brand new logo! Designed by Rory Hawkins, we asked him to peer deep into our subconscious to find an image the best represented as artists. We’re not sure what it says about Bland Hack, but we like it.
Hey folks! Very exciting events this week. First, Bland Hack’s latest as of yet unseen short, “The Other Brontë Sister,” is set to premiere this Thursday at the WonderRoot Filmmakers’ Night at the Plaza Theatre! This will be your chance to be one of the first to see our latest short before everyone else, while supporting two wonderful non-profits! It’s only $6 so bring your friends!
Also, get out your hankies and turn up a slug of Irish whiskey — this site is going goodbye. We’re going to be switching over to a new site brilliantly designed by our friend Germain. Say your farewells now, that will be happening before you know it!
See you all at the Plaza!
G. says: Pretty happy about the scattershot/Southwest Airlines opening....
Becca says: Amazing. Nothing I didn't already think about during the 1000 or so times I've watched this film since 1996, but it was good...
blandhack says: Fixed. Thank you, ever vigilant Nick. (I got it right in the photo alt text, at least)...
