WHO ARE WE?

As you can see from the above photo from our film The House that Zombies built we are horror specialists so expect zombies, blood, gore, body parts and much more.

Our director Jason Wright, in the photo above, has a strong dedication to the zombie genre which is second to none, as not only has he done several zombie features (Acid Pit Stop, Zombie Wars, The House that Zombies Built), shorts (Zombie Boot Camp, Infected, Zombie Playground: Ice Cream), and promo videos (Resident Evil 6, Fear the Living Dead, Walker Stalker London), he also runs the webzine Digital Dead, and he’s the organizer of zombie-themed events of all kinds, from zombie walks to zombie booths to, yes, zombie weddings – so it’s safe to say, he’s got some zombie blood in his veins, and with him at the helm you’re sure to get top shelf zombie entertainment.
WHAT WE NEED & WHAT YOU GET
Silent Studios Productions are very passionate about making horror films - but unfortunately one cannot make a film on passion and good will alone, we also need the right equipment and locations, our cast and crew need food and housing, heck even our zombies need makeup (those vain bastards). And that, naturally, leaves us a bit short on the monetary side, so we're raising funds to cover costs of food, drinks, props, materials, cast, crew and so much more. Every little bit helps, from £1 up, so please donate what you can and let‘s make this film project happen.
RISKS & CHALLENGES
Time and again, we as a team have proven that we can make (and release) a feature film, so we are more than qualified to see through the production of a movie from beginning to end - so we would love to say this is risk-free, as we're determined to the teeth to make this movie ... but if the last couple of years and a certain pandemic (through which we have made The House That Zombies Built) have taught us anything, it's to expect the unexpected. But unless bad comes to worse and then some, we WILL see this movie through, as making zombie movies is in our blood!!!
OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP
Yes we do understand that money can occasionally be a bit on the tight side - heck, we're filmmakers, other than making movies the occasional lack of funds is also in our blood. So if you really want to help but are strapped for cash, why not share our campaign on all social media you can think of - and then some more you have only just googled and are surprised they exist. And tell your friends and family, and heck, even strangers about it incessantly. Paint a mural with the campaign link onto your house front, spray the link onto planes, trains and automobiles, print out flyers to hand out to passers-by - in short, there are millions of ways to help if you're as passionate about raising the dead as we are - and a big thank you for that in advance!!!
