WE ARE MONSTERS Gets New Artwork, Help The Movie Via Kickstarter

Cardiff/Bristol based production company Movie Mogul Ltd (PANIC BUTTON), are gearing up for their next production - sci-fi action horror WE ARE MONSTERS. They have brought on board accomplished key crew such as Casting Director Jeremy Zimmermann (MOON, HELLBOY), Monster effects specialist Neill Gorton (THE WOLFMAN, FROM HELL); Stunt Co-ordinator Andy Bennett (THE WOMAN IN BLACK) and Storyboard artist Ben Oliver (JUDGE DREDD, X-MEN). Casting is currently underway.  

Keen to involve the public, WE ARE MONSTERS producer, director and co-writer, John Shackleton, has turned to crowd-funding platform Kickstarter, which recently opened its virtual doors to UK projects. Movie Mogul’s fund-raising campaign runs for 60 days from December 14^th and they are aiming to raise £100,000 in an all or nothing campaign.

Shackleton commented: “We’re offering members of the public who might not normally have access to a film production, a window through which to get involved in the production of a fully professional feature film. There are a lot of fun incentives on offer, not least the opportunity to take part in the climactic uprising scenes at the end of the film, when the population begins to rise up against their alien oppressors.”

Synopsis: Lorna Thompson, a lonely suburban schoolgirl, joins a mutant gang of teenagers on a quest to discover their true identities. They uncover a global conspiracy, which they must find the strength to fight before civilization is destroyed.

Mischa Rozema's SUNDAYS Short Needs Your Help

Here at cinehouse (and at times The Peoples Movies) we do get alot Kickstarter film projects, we try our best to cover most if not all them. Today's project was spotted by our Canadian friends at Twitch and one type of short film we adore is horror, sci-fi (we love genres though) especially and Mischa Rozema's SUNDAYS does seem to fill our fix. The Amsterdam based commercial director hopes her Sci-fi short will soon become a full feature a story built around the idea that one day a computer based intelligence will exceed a human one arriving via a technological singularity.

Visually this looks great, storyline decent my only concern like many people with great short films can the story be easily adapted or will it be overstretched? Whatever you think you can check out the film below and below that read the kickster information. You can support the film here.

Sundays (working title) is a feature film idea created and written by Dutch commercials director Mischa Rozema. It is a project he has been living and sleeping with for the past years. It is the result of stories inhabiting his head, images that need to be visualised and the the desire to create a film completely different to anything we’ve seen before. The story is there, so is the research. What we are asking your help with is the opportunity to create a short film - the first step on the path to realising a feature film - using the skills and passion of Mischa and his team at PostPanic and Savage.
We're raising money through Kickstarter to make this short film. We want to show what is visually possible when creative integrity is closely guarded from the beginning. We don’t want to risk diluting Mischa’s vision by 3rd parties forcing him to become more mainstream and commercial. We want to show what he is capable of as a storyteller when he has complete control over the direction.

What is 'Sundays' about?
We are fast approaching an event, unparalleled in our history. A tipping point known as a technological singularity. It's the moment when computer power surpasses human intelligence. This moment is inevitable. Our world will change forever.
We are on the verge of having to decide the future of humanity. In order to maintain we might have to change the very definition of what it means to be human. So what exactly is 'human'? Where does it begin and where does it stop. Are we willing to stretch its definition and our ethics to corners we never could have imagined. Is there an infinite deadline on our existence?
This is the story of what it means to be human and how the characteristics of what makes us special stand the test of time. It's evident that technologies are now tied to our evolution as a species. Does our biology define us as human beings or is it the ideals for which humanity stands for?
