Evan Makrogiannis Christopher Bouchie w. Evan Makrogiannis …In Furs first hit the eyes of those of us who visit the underground back in July 2015. …In Furs filmmaker Christopher Bouchie teamed up with Evan Makrogiannis to run an indiegogo campaign to assist fund both their short films. At the time Christoper’s was then known as Lovesick and Evan’s was The Deterioration Blues. Both had an awesome promise and thus proved very popular with UG fans. On top of both co-running this venture in fundraising Evan also is a Producer and the Special Effects technician for what is now known as …In Furs. …In Furs got its birth from Venus In Furs, novella by the Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch from 1870. Venus in Furs deals in the themes of female dominance and sadomasochism. Vito Trigo is Earl. A man whose mind is dominated by two women in his life. One is Molly, his one true love and the woman he goes searching for. His other is Lydia, from watching the scenarios became the woman to me who first got him hooked on heroin. After his first dose he panics and calls his friend Victor up. When he arrives he can see what is happening. Plus knowing what is happening from the news he tries to get Earl to quite. But stupidly he also discloses he has one last baggy for another customer. Thus begins the trail of death and insanity. Earl takes his last hit and goes off the deep end. Vito is amazing! From my personal experience first from his portrayal of nastiness with his character of Wayne in Jason Koch’s Pig Pen. Now here in …In Furs. Perfectly cast as the addict spiralling into deeper madness and violence. He explodes and that is something that cannot be faked convincingly. Just fucking mad! Sometimes it works but sometimes not as is the case on the street when he tries to shove past Evan Makrogiannis’ character. But it’s more. He displays desperation and love as well.A scene of normal times before everything went to hell demonstrates this. Scene from near the beginning brought to mind a favourite of mine, Jim VanBebber’s Deadbeat At Dawn. Scene in question being Goose’s father’s losing it. Earl and the flower seller losing it with each other. Was perfect! Matt Desiderio is Victor. Almost a comedy element dwells with his character. Victor is that guy who is just a joker. Both in life and death. After his incidental death he returns to pester Earl. Rachel Rose Gilmour is Earl’s love interest Molly. Someone from his past he is convinced has been stolen from him. She is clean cut to the polar opposite to the other woman in Earl’s life. Sarah Schoofs is Lydia, far from clean cut and a junky. More fuck buddies and someone to share a needle with then a love interest. From viewing the whole short and looking back an incident occurred that sent Earl to Lydia and heroin addiction. Earl hates her for it as quite possible it is why Molly is no longer there and his brain cannot handle it. Naturally the bad batch send him over the edge and brings the story into fruition. …In Furs (2016) Extreme Horror CinemaAlong with these amazing actors there are a host of well known faces with the Underground scene as well.
