ENVY OF SATAN Film Fundraiser

Join our Team! 

We are raising money to produce an amazing new short film.  In March 2020 the pandemic shut down thousands of businesses, including most of the arts.  During these challenging times, a sense of survival kicked in and we wanted a way to create work for ourselves.

Enter Bill Timoney.  A multi-talented mentor who wrote the stunning script for The Envy of Satan.  His background and knowledge of horror films inspired him to create a humorous, surprising screenplay for us!

"When two wealthy eccentric sisters seek a filmmaker to make a fetish parody video for a birthday gift, they hire a filmmaker notorious on the dark web for his torture “snuff” films that may (or may not) be actual human sacrifices in satanic rituals. "

MEET THE CAST –

          Dan Becker as Snuffy

Snuffy, played by Dan Becker, is out to do a job.  Hired by two wealthy and eccentric sisters, he arrives to help them film a fetish parody video.  His extensive background as a torture “snuff” filmmaker will surely serve him well in this venture.

Dan has appeared in notable television series such as One Tree Hill and As the World Turns.  Coming from a blue collar, hard-working, nose to the grindstone background, he incorporates that same drive and mentality to his acting craft.  He is a true believer in “do what you love”.


          Ellen Williams as Agatha

Ellen Williams, playing the role of Agatha, is one of the eccentric (to say it mildly) sisters.  Teaming up with her sister Emily, played by Kristin Samuelson, these two ladies hire a torture “snuff” filmmaker from the dark web to make a fetish parody video as a birthday gift.  Three cameras and a crackling fire…what could go wrong?

After retiring three years ago from the classical singing /teaching world, Ellen threw herself into the acting scene in NYC.  Appearances in television shows such as Scene of the Crime and A Perfect Murder are just the beginning.  Her latest film, Invisible Blanket, was awarded the Best Short Award at the San Francisco Green Festival as well as the Kuala Lumpur Eco Film Festival.


          Kristin Samuelson as Emily

Emily is the no nonsense sister of Agatha, played by Ellen Williams.  Together, these two wealthy sisters seek to make a fetish parody video for a birthday gift.  They hire a filmmaker notorious on the dark web for his torture “snuff” films.  And let’s just say…they’re all in for a treat.

Kristin Samuelson has won 8 Best Actress Awards for the cunning senator in Extradition, a political drama.  Horror films include, Don’t Kill It with Dolph Lundgren, Jake’s Road with Eric Roberts, Rook and Buttercup Bill.  On a less violent side are Hitler’s Folly by Bill Plympton, The Historian with William Sadler and The Price of Flowers.  Good with voices, she narrated the touching documentary about senior citizen runner, Joy Johnson, called Every Day, for ESPN.  She has also been seen on Memphis Beat, Scream Queens, Mansions and Murders and iWitness.  Onstage she has done Lorraine in A Lie of the Mind, Gertrude in Hamlet, Josephine Finn in Hogan’s Goat and many performances as The Woman in You Are Perfect, a play about Susan Atkins of Charles Manson fame. 


          Dani Martineck as Maitland

Maitland is a huge fan of Snuffy and the dark web.  Snuffy is known for his torture “snuff” films that may (or may not) be actual human sacrifices in satanic rituals.

Dani Martineck is a New York-based non-binary actor, writer, and sometime scientist from Richmond, Virginia by way of Knoxville, Tennessee. On screen they're known for Blue Bloods (2019), Succession (2019), and Potion Masters (2019), and several short films and series. Their first audiobook narration, for We're Not From Here by Geoff Rodkey for Penguin Random House, won an Odyssey Honor. Through both their acting and their writing, Dani celebrates moments of connection that bridge our experiential differences and create radical empathy.
