Welcome Horror Movie Lovers!

Thanks for checking out this Indiegogo page for our upcoming short horror film EMBER.

 

The Story:

Two strangers meet for a first date thanks to a trendy new app, but their romantic evening quickly turns into a nightmare.

 

The Cast:

 

The Crew:

 

John Hull: Writer

John Hull was raised on horror films, with heavy influence from the 70's and 80's. This brought on the creation and hosting of the beloved "Under the Floorboards 5" Horror/Comedy Podcast. He began writing a few years ago. While being inspired to write a horror anthology book, he was approached by Patrick Gallagher and asked if he had considered ever writing a script. That was all she wrote. John integrates classic horror tropes into modern concepts with new twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Ember will be his first credited film as a writer, and certainly not his last. He is currently working on a creature-feature length film script that will have you begging for more.

 

Patrick Gallagher: Producer

Patrick’s love of theater started when he was just a kiddo. He spent countless weekends in movie theaters and cultivated a love for cinema deeply rooted childhood wonder. Since deciding to pursue acting in 2015, he has worked on twenty short films, including the award winning short, The Mourner, for which he was awarded Best Actor in a Leading Role at the Stranger Days Independent Film Festival. In 2019, he expanded his focus to more than just acting and has written and produced two short films, so, when he heard John’s idea for Ember he was hooked. Currently, Patrick is a North Carolina based actor with his eyes set on the silver screen.

 

Garrett Spake: Director

Garrett Spake has had a lifelong obsession with classic horror films of the 1930’s and 40’s.  Because of this, Spake is a filmmaker who uses the history of horror cinema to explore the genre beyond its monetary and entertainment value, and zero in on its cultural relevance. As a producer and director, Garrett has placed an emphasis on producing unique horror shorts with the appreciation only a fan can bring. He directed and co-produced THE VANISHING, a horror short which premiered at the Scarefest Horror and Paranormal Film Festival in 2019. After earning an M.F.A. in Creative Producing from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Garrett produced and directed POOL GHOULS, a horror-comedy short set for release in summer 2023. Along with numerous features and shorts in development, Garrett also produces a weekly livestream program where he hosts public domain horror films on streaming platforms Twitch and YouTube.

 

OUR GOAL:

We aim to raise a minimum of $2500 to fund the entire production, covering crew costs, props and material needs. This amount also covers film festival submission fees as we plan to submit EMBER to numerous horror-centric festivals. Below is a detailed breakdown of how we intend to spend the money that you help us raise.
