Post-Production Underway
Production on The Dead Matter wrapped at 5am on September 2nd. "I couldn't be happier," said Director Edward Douglas. "We got everything I was hoping for and so much more. The entire cast and crew really delivered on all levels. This movie is going to resonate with a lot of horror fans - we really have something special here."
"The Dead Matter is definitely a character-driven horror film, so a lot rides on our actors. They are really came through for us. Between the perfomances by our veterans and our newer faces, audiences are going to be in for a real treat," said Douglas.
Douglas credits the successful production phase to Producer Gary Jones, the FX team at Precinct 13, Director of Photography Alex Esper, UPM/AD Philip Garrett, and an "incredibly talented" crew of film veterans mixed with an enthusiastic group of hard-working production assistants. "It's an ambitious script. We were only able to complete it on time because of the tremendous talent, teamwork, and perseverance our crew exhibited."
With a projected release date in 2008, post-production has already begun. That includes work on the next Midnight Syndicate release, The Dead Matter soundtrack. More details to follow!
