Overview
Creature Features, once a mainstay of the film industry and reaching their peak of imagination and execution in the 1980's, have in recent years become known as formulaic movie-by-budget investments and CGI flop-fest disappointments. Moggy Creatures is a hand-crafted film utilizing quality filmmaking techniques, from writing to execution, that serves as an injection of new life to a beloved but relegated genre.

MOGGY SIGHTINGS IN LOS ANGELES!

 

 

Creature Features: The Beast that will not Die!

Ever seen the movie where a guy makes a one-way trip miles below the ocean to defuse a nuclear bomb, to save an alien race and all humanity at the same time?  How about the one where a woman is the sole survivor in a nest of brutal aliens, but gambles her last chance for escape to save a little girl she just met? Or even the one where a man puts himself out as bait on the edge of a cliff to save the lives of his best friends from mammoth, tunneling monsters?  If you're a fan of the genre you know what films I'm talking about, and even if you don't, I'm sure you recognize the themes that made those movies compelling, with great characters and unique situations.

I want to make you a movie like that.

The Concept:

"A couple takes in a stray cat, hoping to rebuild their marriage... only to have it spawn a litter of evil monsters."

I'm Scott Frazelle, and as a journeyman of the film business, I want to make a movie that pulls you out of the ordinary and challenges you to examine human values, a movie that makes you consider, "what if that were me?" 

And maybe scare the pants off you in the process.

I've had the great fortune to work as a writer, producer, assistant director, and special FX artist over the course of the last ten years, and I have a project for you that allows me to combine all my experience; Moggy Creatures.  

Moggy Creatures is not only a creature feature that utilizes practical FX, but a sincere horror film.  

Why So Serious?

As you may have noticed, Creature Features are being relegated to over-the-top, self-deprecating farces, or films that were clearly shot with no creature at all, being put together in post-production.  While there's room for everything, this continues to devalue a great tradition, and worse yet, eliminate the art (and the artist practicing it).  I'd like to reverse that trend.

Here's What it Takes: 

(Budget Image Under Construction)

The Perks

In addition to a great creature feature, we've come up with a series of perks that we think film fanatics would really like; a series of one-of-a-kind collectibles, and one-of-a-kind experiences, which you can see in detail on this page.

The Promise

My promise to you is that even if we fall short of our goal, we'll do our best to honor the perks (some will no longer apply), and still create the most film we can that honors our quest.  Whether that means an awesome FX-based festival circuit short film with all new footage, or an hour-long featurette, you will not be disappointed.  We'll stay in contact with all of you for your input on the situation, but know this: we want to make a film and we want it to rock!

Leave a Mark!

On top of all this, keep in mind that when you help this project get made, you're voting with your wallet; a fully crowd-funded project like this is a clear signal to larger studios that people want this kind of film, and are willing to pay for it.  Studios like to bet on a sure thing.  Funding this project could lead to bigger projects in the future, or even finding this project a bigger partner!

Other Ways You Can Help

If you want to see this movie made, or even if you just like the trailer, lending a hand is a big contribution.  Indiegogo has share buttons all over for your convenience, put 'em to use and let your friends know about Moggy Creatures.  Every bit helps!

Sincerely,

Scott Frazelle
