Now available on Digital and VOD, Frankie, Maniac Woman is an indie horror film that doesn’t pull its punches. The unforgiving violance and brutality may turn off the average viewer, but actress Dina Silva and director Pierre Tsigaridis wanted to make a singular story. Horror fans should gravitate to this unrelenting narrative, and Silva and Tsigaridis gave a clearer insight to their film during their Deepest Dream conversation.

“It’s been years in the making,” said Dina Silva, who co-wrote Frankie, Maniac Woman with good friend Pierre Tsigaridis. “And Hollywood is changing and hard to break into. To be able to show myself in such a great light with my acting and singing as well. And doing it with my dear friend has been nothing short of amazing.”
The story centers on Frankie Ramirez (Silva), a troubled woman who is severely affected by childhood trauma and influenced by the corrosive personalities around her. Ultimately Frankie snaps and becomes a killer. Tsigaridis, who wrote the script with Silva, plays a mysterious presence who plays a huge part in Frankie’s descent into evil.
“We not diluting (the movie) or bending to anyone’s agenda,” said Tsigaridis. “It’s just like being free and really sticking to our guns. We’re fearless even though sometimes it triggers fear like ‘Oh my God, what are people going to think of this?’ We show parks where we’re all vulnerable in this film.”
