Support Indie Film - UK Film Review

UK Film Review now have a selection of 3 UK Kickstarter film projects which need support.

You can check them all out here: http://www.ukfilmreview.co.uk/#!support-indie-film/cnam

But, here is a quick run-down of the three amazing projects:

LAB RATS



A short body horror filled with practical effects - expect melting faces and exploding limbs!

Synopsis: Kat and her eco-warrior friends embark on a mission to expose the international bio-chemistry company, Ring-Amnion, as liars after a tip-off that they ran an animal testing lab - despite their public profile claiming otherwise.
The gang, and Kat's 20,000 followers, are eager to find out what Ring-Amnion have been hiding as they break into an old building, but they aren't prepared for what they find inside...

MAYA

Maya is a horror feature film about jinn possession shot on location in Pakistan in the Urdu/Hindi language, subtitled in English. It follows the life of a young girl in her early twenties, Maya, and a traumatic event that happens in her childhood revolving around urban legends/stories about jinn (fire demons from Islamic scripture). The film follows her as an adult as she tries to piece together her childhood whilst surviving her present. 

Current challenges include hitting deadlines whilst in post-production - Editing, subtitling, Colour Grading, Sound Design and Music Composition. They're aiming to have everything done by May in time for their first festival entry. Any setbacks would most likely stem from technology and equipment, however they have a solid team working together, which will help resolve any matters quickly.

Directed by: K Pervaiz

 

LIKE THE DEAD 

 

Like The Dead is a short film series that tells the tale of a man (Will McCabe) reliving the same day again and again in different ways, always with the same outcome:  The grisly murder of his girlfriend (Sian Gordon).

The first three 2-5 min shorts set up the environment and the repetition that he is living.  Looking past the bloodshed, there is something behind those haunted eyes.  There is more to the tale than is immediately apparent.

The final 20-min short that we are raising money to film provides the answers we are looking for, and raises a few more questions.  We find out who this man and woman are.  We finally see how he is living like the dead.  Asleep from reality.  Escaping.
