Simon's week alone for home renovations quickly turns into a nightmarish spiral into madness and horror with the arrival of a mysterious teddy bear, whose dark origins are more sinister than they seem. Welcome to the hellish world of the Quiet Room Bears.

Lee Howard is a self-taught freelance artist from Oshawa, Ontario. He is primarily a pop culture and horror artist specializing in portraiture, a number of which were commissioned by horrorphiles like Marilyn Manson. In 2001, Lee began to create the Quiet Room Bears as one of a kind, individually numbered horror art pieces. After much anticipation, they are ready to make their screen debut. 

Sean Ward is the creator of the #1 most-watched superhero parody channel on YouTube, The Sean Ward Show. He started his career by creating his own photocopied comic books and selling them on the street. New issues were launched with an event series featuring films and performances that turned into a YouTube channel, with a role as the on-air Master of Ceremonies on TV’s “Ed’s Night Party” in between. As a filmmaker and visual artist, clients and collaborators have included Coca-Cola, Netflix, and DC Comics.

Sherouk comes from a writing background, having developed two pilots and had three of her shorts completed. She won the Screenwriting Challenge in her undergrad at Columbia College Hollywood for her short ‘In Transit’. She has spent a number of years in the development producing and talent acquisitions world at companies such as Lionsgate but most recently making the transition to producing. Sherouk has worked internationally in the US and Kuwait in film and broadcasting for bilingual audiences. She is a relatively new face in the Toronto filmmaking scene, but her experience and skill set has lifted her in the production manager role on this film.

At the age of 25, Niky Sweet has worked as a gaffer on five feature films and has transitioned her passion in lighting to cinematography. Niky also worked on the feature-length documentary titled "The Beatles in India" as the B-Camera Operator which took her to work abroad in the USA, England, and India. She also worked in the lighting and camera departments on a Canadian Co-Production in Romania titled, "The Dancing Dogs of Dombrova". Her work was recognized in the 50HourFilm contest for a short film she directed that received "best lighting" and "best production design"; the two factions she majored in at Sheridan's Advanced Television and Film program. She has since directed photography on a number of short genre projects and is continuing this trend at a rapid increase in 2018. 

                                A word from our team

We're setting a goal of $3000 to help with the cost of making Quiet Room Bears: The Movie. Along with the film's producer Sean Ward, we have already spent $5000 of our own money on this project, and we need your help to make it over the finish line. We're aiming to premiere this at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival, a HUGE 9-day horror and sci-fi film festival (which I have worked with for the past 5 years by creating a Quiet Room Bear mascot for them, who they've lovingly named TADdy). 

We've added some super fun and amazing rewards as a part of this campaign. I really wanted to create something special to thank you for your help. Up until this year I have been the only person to ever have anything to do with the Quiet Room Bears, so it's been a huge experience to open it up to others and have them help me bring the Quiet Room Bears story to life (and hopefully give at least ONE person nightmares any time they see a teddy bear).

Thanks to anyone who can contribute, even if it's just $5, and honestly, even if you can't contribute, just sharing this campaign or letting people know that you're into Quiet Room Bears and looking forward to the movie coming out, any support or word of mouth is SO APPRECIATED. I am eternally grateful for everything art has brought to my life and all the support I've had.
