Episode 13: “The Keepers”

In the tower of Black Manor, the Keeper guards the manors darkest secrets. Amidst catacombs, graves, and the Book of Death, he safeguards the legacy, offering others eternal life at the cost of a deadly bargain.

The Final Episode

As we mentioned earlier, we’re big Mike Flannigan fans. The House of Usher was absolutely incredible, but we also really loved Midnight Mass. This was a big inspiration when we began to put together The Keepers. It impacted both the melancholy tone and the beauty of the Catholic Church images.

Life's unforeseen endings take center stage in The Accidental Death. From car crashes and electrocutions, to fatal distractions, delve into a realm of unintended fatalities.

For the final appearance of The Land of Death and Dreams we also include nightmares. We were really inspired by Mike Flannigan’s The House of Usher on this one. Specifically for the jester.

Episode 11: “Miss Nobody”

Spreadsheets. TV. Noodles. Try not to cry. Go to bed. Wait for the sweet release of death. Wake up. Do it again. And again. Endless hours, same routine. Until one night something different happens. An intrusion offers an unexpected twist.

Getting Lost

For Miss Nobody, we began to think about seeing some of these stories from different perspectives. Our inspiration was the TV series Lost. This was one of the first times I had ever seen a series go in depth on a completely different perspective and we wanted to give that a try with Miss Nobody who had previously been seen in Dark Days.

Return to Shallow Grave

When we first began working on Tales From Black Manor, Series 2 - we were really inspired by the early films of Danny Boyle. Specifically Shallow Grave and Trainspotting and we wanted to create something with that feeling. Alice & The Watch was originally written to feel this way - but that ended up changing story and leaned much more towards David Fincher for tone. With Dark Days, we were finally able to get back to some of that early inspiration.

Brand New Article on GeekTyrant!

GeekTyrant is one of our favorite websites and we recently had the chance to do an interview with them! We chat about the making of the BackSpace Trilogy, our inspirations, as well as some of our favorite parts of making the film as well as some of the toughest. We also chat about our favorite movies. 

Here’s an excerpt:

What is the best advice you've ever received as a filmmaker and what would you like to say to new filmmakers?

A HUGE inspiration for us - and so many other filmmakers - has been Robert Rodriguez on not waiting for “Hollywood” and just getting out there and making a movie. His book “Rebel Without A Crew” was a great read. A few years into our filmmaking careers we were asked to appear on his El Rey Network series to discuss filmmaking and it was such a great experience! For new filmmakers we say - don’t wait - get out there and make something, even if its not perfect. The fun, adventure, and skills you’ll pick up will be worth it!

Heart of War, Watch it Now!

Kicking off Series 3!

For the first episode of Series 3, Heart of War, we were inspired by the films of Zack Snyder, particularly 300. When 300 came out, it is was mind blowing. The speed ramps were so punk rock. When creating the battle scenes in the Heart of War, we were really lucky. All of the footage was shot in slow motion. For a lot of the scenes we sped them back up to normal, but in a few cases, specifically towards the end of the battle when the deaths start to mount - we slowed everything down.
