It’s time to put our camera’s where are mouths are… or something like that.
Over the past two months we have been in pre-production for a little short movie called “Within the Woods”.
If that name seems a bit familiar to you, it probably is.
Within the Woods is a short story about four kids that travel to a cabin and accidentally disturb supernatural forces that protect an ancient indian burial ground.
Originally created by Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert, it was a half-an-hour short film used to raise funds for the first Evil Dead movie. It was shot over a three-day weekend on a family farm.
Our short will be shot in the same spirit as the original. Production will take place over one three day period at a cabin, using what we have available to try and make a short that we can use on a demo reel to fund our first feature film. It will be shot using our own equipment by a crew that has over four years experience working in film. We have also consulted a psychology graduate to assist with the frightening imagery that will be used throughout the short.
We have been in contact with the special people that created the Evil Dead series. Upon completion of the short, each one of them will get their own copy.
We are currently fundraising here: http://igg.me/p/66069 - Please visit the site and leave a comment or contribute to the project. We are offering incentives to those who donate. You can get your name in the credits, as well as our production vlogs. Please keep in mind that the original creators will be receiving a copy of the short, and have already expressed their interest in watching it.
Thanks for your time.
Wish us luck!
