Reel Horror’s first short film WITCH TRIAL is now over 50% of its crowdfunding goal and with that news comes the announcement that Stacy Hart will be joining the film in the role of The Mother.
Stacy Hart joins the film alongside the previously announced Ayvianna Snow (Black Lake, Hollow), Peter Tilley, Dean Kilbey and Martin W Payne.
Reel Horror had this to say about Stacy Hart joining the project:
‘We are over the moon to have Stacy join the cast. She a fantastic, versatile actress who will absolutely smash the role. We had the good fortune to see her work at Horror On Sea in January and met her there. We soon got chatting all things Reel Horror and knew she would be a fantastic asset to the team.‘
Eve Oliver and Anna Dixon are both co-directing/producing WITCH TRIAL and other crew members previously announced are Simon Lawrence Moore as Historical Advisor, MYCHO head honcho MJ Dixon as creative consultant and cinematographer and Moray Binfield as sound and camera assistant.
Reel Horror are currently running a Indiegogo crowdfunder campaign to raise funds for their first short film WITCH TRIAL
‘Witch Trial’ is based on the true story of Isobel Gowdie, a Scottish woman who made strange and fantastical confessions of witchcraft. It’s not known why she made these confessions or what ultimately happened to her, but many other young women were implicated as part of her story. The film is set against the backdrop of 1600s England and Scotland, after Cromwell and the civil wars and during the restoration whilst Charles II is King. We will be keeping true to the period in terms of locations, costumes and dialogue so that we can tell Isobel’s story as faithfully as possible whilst giving it some horror movie twists and turns. We’ve taken inspiration from, amongst other things, the VVitch, Suicide Squad and Evil Dead in crafting the story and its terrifying conclusion.
The project is currently raising funds of £5,000 via an Indiegogo crowdfunder and as of writing are 53% into their goal. There are plenty of perks still up for grabs from as little as £5 and remember if you can’t support via funding then a simple share with your friends and family goes a long way to getting this project in front of many eyes.
