The End of All Things, Watch it Now!

Episode 14: “The End of All Things”

When Annabelle Black goes venturing off into the forgotten East Corridor of Black Manor, she finds something new. It’s a simple glass orb - but when she touches it - she can see everything. She can see the beginning, middle, and end of time, and lurking there is the Final Death.

An Epilogue

The End of All Things was designed to feel like an epilogue to the series, one last moment that comes even after the final episode and tells the death of Black Manor and maybe even the entire world.

The Keepers, Watch it Now!

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.

The BackSpace Trilogy at FilmQuest!

The BackSpace Trilogy was just announced as an Official Selection of this year’s FilmQuest Film Festival! We are over the moon to share the trilogy with the FilmQuest audience - the coolest folks in the world! FilmQuest has long been one of our favorite film festivals. The care they put into the festival and especially the way they highlight genre and filmmakers is astounding.
BackSpace made its big screen premiere at FilmQuest in 2022 and we’re so excited to return with the entire Trilogy!
We’re also proud to add BackSpace Returns and BackSpace Forever to a line up of projects that have all been Official Selections at the Festival over the years including our feature films: Danger! Danger! and The West and the Ruthless (making its original debut there as a screenplay finalist alongside Patients of Hyde Park - another screenplay of ours :)
Over the years we’ve also had the chance to screen our series Tales from Black Manor as well as our short films: The Umbrella Factory, Jack the Ripper, Haunting of the White Sparrow, and Around the World in 80s Days.

Miss Nobody, Watch it Now!

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.

Dark Days, Watch it Now!

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!
