Would Our Production Pass The Bechdel Test

The Bechdel Test is a rule that states that the film should include 2 or more female characters who are named and who talk about something other than men in a film. Surprisingly, many films do not pass this test. Just because a film passes the test, that doesn't make it a bad and similarly If a film does not pass the test, that does not necessarily make it bad a bad film, its more about how women (and men) are represented in films.
There is also an article about famous films that have surprisingly failed the test.

This is a short video which explains the test and gives examples of films that do not pass it.

So, would our production pass the Bechdel test?
Imagining our film opening was a full film, we would want it to pass the Bechdel test. This is because our main character is unconventional for our genre (she is not a scream queen) and as we are presenting our female character in arguably a more positive manner than most horror/slasher films, we would want to take this further and be sure that we have a scene that makes our film pass the test.  

Most horror/slasher movies fail simply because most conversations in the films revolve around the villain, who is generally a male. This is the case in our film (the killer in the mask).

What i found, is that there is often a strong female character/ lead character in slasher films, for example, The Descent. There is a very interesting article about the film, found on GeekQuality. So although our film would pass the test, we are also including a strong female lead.
