The Dead Inside

28 October 2009 979 views 8 Comments

With my feature film LO finishing its run on the festival circuit and heading to DVD in 2010, it only makes sense to make another damn movie! I’ve done a horror film, JOSHUA. I’ve experimented with a love story in SUNDAY. Then I squished the two genres together with my latest, LO. Looking back over my filmography, I see no reason not to continue the trend and try something completely different! I am here to officially announce pre-production status on my next feature film, The Dead Inside. A ghost possession musical.

The Dead Inside is a story that explores the dark side of inspiration. Wes and Fi are lovers whose creative muses have all but vanished from their lives. When Fi begins to show signs of schizophrenia, Wes does everything in his power to help her get better…that is until Fi’s true affliction decides to introduce itself to both Wes and the world. Fighting against her possession, they rediscover inspiration in the grimmest corners of their situation. Their muse has returned, killing Fi from the inside and haunting Wes with each passing breath.

The film will contain ten musical numbers composed by the brilliant Joel Van Vliet, and will star Sarah Lassez (Mad Cow Girl, Lo) and Dustin Fasching (Onsie, The Break Dance Kid). Shannon Hourigan (Bartokular, Black String Theory) is our all powerful cinematographer. Principle photography begins in late November.

So…here we go again! I’ll keep everyone posted on the progress. This is going to be one hell of a bad ass flick!

Much love

Travis
