Behind the Scenes of Haunting!

Now that our latest short film is out, we wanted to show you the Behind the Scenes! It was a hot day in September and our cast was in full Victorian masquerade costumes, charging through cornfields and getting their hands covered in sticky-red-corn-syrupy-stage-blood!

It also shows off some of the great masks and props too!

Haunting of the White Sparrow is here!

Our final short film for 2013, Haunting of the White Sparrow, has landed!

We are thrilled to cap off our Macabre Trilogy this year (it sounds really cool to call it that) with Haunting of the White Sparrow. The film itself follows the Umbrella Factory, our vintage retelling of W.W. Jacobs gothic tale, the Monkey's Paw, as well as our evening with Jack the Ripper.

Thirteen Stills from Haunting of the White Sparrow!
