With a filmmaking dream in mind and horror in her heart, in 2010 Jen Moss established UK production house Not So Lovely Films alongside fellow horror lovers Ailsa Scott and Catriona Scott.
The trio met at the UK’s biggest horror film festival - FrightFest - several years before where the ladies discovered they shared a mutual love for all things horror; based on that mutual admiration for the horrific, the trio decided to combine their creative knowledge and talents (having come from varying backgrounds in the music, film and television industries) to fund and produce writer/director Moss’ first short film Dumped.
Now Moss and Not So Lovely Films are back with their delightfully demented second short The Morning After, which stars musician Kate Nash as Angel, a recovering addict of sorts who hilariously struggles to live two very separate lives in order to fulfill both her parents' high expectations...
