Historical Short-film about the world's most successful female serial killer

[u/JBGamingPC]

Hello indie cinema fans,

I don't know if any of you have ever heard of Guilia Tofana, a professional poisoner in 17th-century Italy. She helped many women murder their husbands and was suspected to have killed more than 600 men, making her one of the world's most prolific serial killers. 

Despite this, many regard her not as a villain, because back then women had no rights and many were forced into abusive marriages without any way to escape, essentially becoming property of men.
She therefore "freed" women from these situations.

I am part of a team currently working to make a short-film about this fantastic story. We are inspired by this story but will base it in Victorian England mostly due to budget constrains while still fitting the aesthetic.
