In 2013 Louise Weard picked up a camera and began work on what she hoped would be the next great Canadian body-horror film. Over the course of two years and with the assistance of her directing partner Dionne Copland and dozens of friends, Louise was able to complete the film which she wrote, directed, produced, and starred in: Computer Hearts.
This groundbreaking, jaw dropping hyperkinetic film is a mix of techno-erotica, Freudian sexual derailment and electro-cyber nightmare. Man and computer begin to merge, and it goes all the way until every human instinct and impulse is transformed and rewired. Stop motion mutations and an oozing disc-drive vagina signal the failure of humanity to reign over its fetishistic relationship with its own technology, and once that happens -- well, it's time to pull out.
"A violent body horror odyssey." - Bleeding Skull
"Computer Hearts may not sound like the next amazing horror film but I can assure you that it is. This film deserves every bit of your time. Check it out because you will not be disappointed!" - Horror Society
"It’s dirty as hell." - Beneath the Underground
In the decade following their collaboration on Computer Hearts, Louise Weard and Dionne Copland quietly redefined underground filmmaking from a perspective cemented as "horror sans the male gaze" (Alexandra Heller-Nicholas). Establishing themselves at a time when underground horror was especially hostile towards anything feminine or queer infringing on their turf, Louise and Dionne carved out a new way of filmmaking and left a massive body of work in the ten years following their cult favourite debut. This digital collection brings together for the first time all of their work spanning 2013-2023.
