CRYSTAL BALL SYNOPSIS
A child kidnapper / serial killer lurks in the Taylor family home watching Lola and Elly (6 and 8) sleep. Completely unseen by the girls’ parents, the killer disguises himself as a clown toy while the babysitter watches the children. Over the course of the evening, Abbey (the babysitter) learns that what she thought was a creepy but harmless toy is not just a toy clown after all; but a creepy, attacking, living monster who wants only one thing. The thing she’s being paid to be responsible for.

QPIX Students are creating their own thriller / horror short films adapting urban legends, fairytales and bedtime stories.

Crystal Ball is based on the urban legend The Clown Statue - adapted to be a modern day fear story about a very disturbing clown and a series of unfortunate events for an unsuspecting family.

We are looking for 6 actors;
The clown (think Chucky meets his shadow - not age specific)
Mr Taylor (the kids’ Dad - early to late thirties)
Mrs Taylor (the kids’ Mum - early to late thirties)
Abbey (the babysitter - teenager)
Lola (8 year old girl)
Elly (6 year old girl)
