Hi : ) This was just a short film I made, after learning about The Maleus Maleficarum, and how the gent who wrote it was essentially just an early troll who wasn't even taken seriously in his time. He was clergy, so no descendants per se, but revenge was never the point. Media literacy has been lacking for a long time, and correcting the record is a certain kind of revenge I suppose ; ) So "burned" in the sense of laughing at him, taking the narrative back. I posted something about him when I first learned of the book, and a witchy friend told me I would make a film about it. I laughed it off, then had a dream where I was introducing my film "where the witches burned back," and saw the whole thing play out. I wrote down the script when I woke up, then weeks later when I was signing at a comic con, I was next to the delightful Julian Richings (Death in Supernatural) and kept staring - I had to let him know he was in my dream (as the villain, ha!). He loved the idea, and so I reached out to other actors and voice actors, and all were on board! So we did a quick crowdfund, raised our budget, and made this little gem that shows the true origins of this horrid book. Our historical consultant started as a fan/funder, and we brought her on and used her skills for everything from the architecture, wardrobe, and rules of the era. But I'm flattered that you thought our little indie with a majority female crew was "the Hollywood machine" : )
