Hi,
So we recently launched our first Kickstarter (previously used a small funding platform) campaign and so far have raised 30% of our goal!
Being a short indie film, we're not actually asking for as much as some of the campaigns you see, and could tightly make the film with the goal set. That said if we went over then we'd be able to do something far greater!
--------------------------------
BEYOND is the follow up to DEADBOLT Films 2018 award-winning short film AND NOTHING HURT, and the second part of a proposed cosmic horror trilogy. Starring professional actors Oliver Church and Anthony Arundell and directed by independent cult horror Director Gav Chuckie Steel, known for his genre-bending feature PRETERNATURAL.
BEYOND follows a distressed insomniac who unwittingly becomes the subject of a drug trial that allows him glimpses of another world and the mysterious entities within.
BEYOND will continue to explore the themes found within the works of early 20th century weird fiction authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, Robert W. Chambers, Ambrose Bierce and modern cosmic horror cinema. The goal being to create a budget conscious short film that will philosophically engage the viewer, while entertaining with a cerebral horror story in a short easy to digest format.
With their previous short DEADBOLT Films were able to bring on a talented cast and crew, winning several awards as well as having its US Premiere to a sold-out house at the respected H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival 2018 in Portland, OR and Providence, RI.
As passionate fans of the genre and wider horror cinema, they hope to continue this tradition and look forward to creating something their supporters can be proud of.
