WRITER/DIRECTOR STATEMENT
In making this dreamy original short film, I realised one of my own dreams of bringing to life my most beloved comics. The inky black & white beauty of CREEPY and EERIE magazine from Warren Publishing in the late 60's, 70's and early 80's gets the motion picture treatment in this macro-film nightmare. The themes are real - brotherhood, family responsibility and what one must go through when called upon to save those we love... even if it means fighting a BEAST.
Many talented people helped me make this film, and I'll forever appreciate their dedication - it was a very tough shoot on the wind-swept clifftops of Wellington, New Zealand. Eternally grateful to the cast and crew.
