Go To Hell

My thesis film, Go To Hell, is a culmination of years of consuming horror media and the want to create my own stories and beings.

Go To Hell follows my character Hal lovingly named after Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

My thesis is a surreal and experimental film where Hal has to find his decapitated head in Hell.

I wanted it to be more of a visual experience than a linear film. 

I really love the overlap of animation and film, as I take a lot of inspiration from horror movies and actually started out my college years as a film major.

I still consider myself a film student at heart because of how much influence they have on me and my work. Stuff like Reanimator, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Wicker Man, The Evil Dead, and a lot of David Lynch.

Bio

Ameera’s first memory is begging their dad to set up his camera above the kitchen table to take frame by frame photos of whatever Play-Doh monster of the day was being brought to life by his 5 year old daughter.

Growing up in the woods of central Massachusetts, Ameera took to running through the mud, wrangling bugs and frogs, smashing up random plants, and creating art.

Ameera’s work centers on the absurd and grotesque. Combining human anatomy, low budget 80’s horror, and their own imagination to create eccentric stop motion films.
