My name is Braden Croft and I'm the writer/director of Hemorrhage (Check it out on one of these VOD formats! http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/67273/psychological-horror-begins-hemorrhage ). Here's a link for Comcast Xfinity! (http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/watch/Hemorrhage/8392544909852039112/movies#filter=online)
Now I've thrown so many sh*t ideas at my wall it looks like an Irish prison. This is also known as 'brainstorming', or as my father likes to say, 'a-flood-of-hot-sh*t-to-the-brain.

BULLSEYE!
Then, lying somewhere in my freshly painted room, I found it... my next film...
![]()
FEED THE GODS is a horror-comedy in the vein of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, SHAUN OF THE DEAD and CABIN IN THE WOODS.
![]()
THE SYNOPSIS:
FEED THE GODS is about WILL GUSTAFSON, a determined yet hopelessly inept filmmaker, and his quest to find Bigfoot in a town that's all too hungry for tourists.
Raised in a foster home, Will and his adopted brother, KRIS, inherit a box of videotapes showcasing Kris' long lost mother and father... as well as a suspicious town fixated on a Bigfoot-like creature.
Will agrees to help Kris search for his parents while secretly hunting the elusive beast. Soon the town's insidious past emerges and the boys find exactly what they're looking for...
Why a Bigfoot film?
Besides being centered around North America's favorite cryptid, FEED THE GODS is about family, finding what's important to you and the bloody laughs along the way.
It doesn`t take much to understand why a horror fan would make a horror film and Bigfoot is one of the legendary monsters never to get due treatment on the big screen - it`s either bottom of the barrel or it`s for kids. We`re going to do it right.
Horror. Blood. Laughs.
Why Indiegogo?
After the success of Hemorrhage we knew the next project had to be a step up.
This time we were going to have a professional TEAM! This time we were going to have utensils for our CHILI!
In short, we made Hemorrhage for nothing and walked away with a great little film. Now we're raising the stakes and loading our barrels with buckshot. The reasons we're using Indiegogo to help produce our film is because:
1. We're building the team.
Hell yeah, we are. The greatest part of making a film is finding people just like you. We love the same movies. We love the same actors. We love genre films.
Indiegogo gives us a voice to find other horror/comedy fans alike to produce our own kickass movies. We're only interested in making films we want to see, and be damned if we aren't going to make 'em!

2. Control
Upon shopping the script around town, a producer asked, "Can the Bigfoot be a vampire?"
![]()
No. The Bigfoot cannot be a vampire.
Suffice it to say, FEED THE GODS is being made ONE way. The RIGHT way. OUR way.
FEED THE GODS is a low-budget film, and even low-budget films need a budget. Here's where your money is going:
- ACTORS / CREW -
- They got mouths and they need to be fed. Make our experience a pleasant one by feeding our troops.
- We got some of the best talent around, but under the micro-budget union agreement we have to pay a minimum of $100 dollars a day per actor. It sounds like a small amount but it's a cost nonetheless.
- PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT -
- Camera, lens kit, sound equipment, the list goes on! Lucky for us we have friends in the industry that will not only lend us their time, but also their equipment. Help us help our professionals by giving them the tools they need.
- SPFX -
Associate Producer and Ravenous EFX owner, Travis Shewchuk, has contributed his amazing talents for free with only material costs on the bill. Help us cover those costs and get the monsters and the blood on the screen! After all, how are giant bear traps supposed to decapitate people when they're made out of paper mache?
- PRODUCTION DESIGN -
- Often overlooked in independent films, proper wardrobe, set decoration, set design and props will be on our do-it-right-on-the-tight budget list!
THE NAME OF THE GAME IS TO GET THE MONEY WHERE IT BELONGS - ON THE SCREEN.

ALEKS PAUNOVIC
Aleks Paunovic was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. June 29th 1969. He started his professional acting career while partaking in his other two passions, boxing and music. Aleks was playing in a rock band and while on stage he got asked to audition for the HBO movie Heads. After getting his first job, on his first audition, the acting bug bit him... hard! Aleks then started to write a Sci Fi series with a good friend that lived in Vancouver. After garnering some attention in Hollywood, he dropped everything in Winnipeg and moved to Vancouver to pursue not only a writing career, but diving right into his new passion of acting.
Aleks Paunovic is seen in numerous highly acclaimed science fiction TV shows like Battlestar Gallactica, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, Smallville and Eureka. His favorite part was the role of Sergeant Omar Fischer in Battlestar Gallactica because not only is his best friend Tahmoh Penikett on the show, but also a he got to play a role where he could utilize his boxing experience for his character, and be the boxing coordinator on few episodes. He was the Canadian amateur boxing champion after all!
This year we can see him starring in Personal Effects alongside Ashton Kutcher, Michelle Pfieffer, and Kathy Bates, in one of the most challenging roles he's ever done. His character is a developmentally disabled man that's put on trial for the murder of Ashton Kutcher character's sister. Aleks had to put on 65 pounds of 'pizza and ice cream' for this role!

LANE EDWARDS

Lane spent the first part of his adult life working as a Youth Worker with inner- city youth both in Calgary and Vancouver. After a move to New York City, however, he was bitten by the acting bug and with the help of his brother Randal Edwards, found his way back to Vancouver where he began training with Ty Olsson, Bruce Clayton, and his current coach and mentor Andrew McllRoy.
Getting a relatively 'late' start in his acting career made for an uphill battle. Lane's focus and determination helped land him roles in recognizable projects such as "Arrow", The Killing", "Secret Circle", "Supernatural" "Fringe" and "Motive" to name a few. His favorite, and most challenging role to date was the role of "Eric" in the independent feature "Everything and Everyone" which screened at various film festivals around North America.
