How it all began

Over a year and a half ago, Tim Clark called Terry Wickham to tell him he had a strange experience while on business in Madrid, Spain.  He was playing a scavenger hunt game on his smart phone called Geocaching.  At first it seemed like a lot of fun.  Tim explained, however, that when he found the item, the person who hid it suddenly jumped out and scared the hell out of him.  He later thought this could be an excellent idea for a movie, and Terry readily agreed.  Flash forward six months.  Terry’s long-time friend Thaddeus Byrd called up to ask whether he would be interested in teaming up with him to co-produce a found footage anthology entitled DEVIL’S FIVE.

Thaddeus’ concept was to have five filmmakers spread across the country, each one producing their own twenty-minute movie that would be fashioned together as a single cohesive feature film.  He had a few stipulations, however; the movies had to fit the overall theme of dealing with the Devil, be shot entirely in a found footage format, and include a script written by Tim Clark for Terry to direct. 

Thaddeus had loved the successful collaboration between Tim and Terry on their previous film, HAIR OF THE DOG, and wanted to see whether they could capture that magic again.  It wasn’t long before both Terry and Tim agreed to move forward with DEVIL’S FIVE, and Tim Clark’s inspiration for using the Geocache game as a storytelling device became the framework for “Stash.”

Terry Wickham has been watching scary movies since he was four years old.  In 1978, HALLOWEEN changed his life:  “I couldn't get the imagery from that movie out of my head and wanted to be able to do to an audience what John Carpenter did to me.”  Terry started out in Snohomish High School training in television production.  A couple years later, while living in West Germany, Louisiana and New York, he directed a total of 25 music videos for such noted artists as Michael Knight and Voodoo Storm.  Terry later furthered his formal training at the American Film Institute, at New York University as well as acting at HB Studios in New York City.

Terry has directed numerous short films, including MADAME RED (1990), DOUBLE FANTASY (1994), SARAH (2000), WASHINGTON ROAD (2001), HELP ME (2002) and HAIR OF THE DOG (2003).  WASHINGTON ROAD was selected as the grand prize winner of the International Three-Minute Chillers Contest @ www.urbanchillers.com, sponsored by Apple.  In addition, Terry has two feature films to his credit as director.  OUT OF TOUCH was released in 1995, and the horror anthology EVIL STREETS was unleashed in 1998 to which Terry contributed two episodes, “The Downfall of Johnny Garrett” and “Stalk."

In late 2013, Terry teamed up with long-time friend and filmmaker Thaddeus Byrd to produce an anthology feature film entitled DEVIL’S FIVE.  Directors George Brianka and Edwin M. Figueroa will be joining Terry and Thaddeus as each director contributes their own segments.   Tim Clark (HAIR OF THE DOG) has also contributed an excellent script for “Stash," which Terry will be directing.  The production team is aiming for a completion date by the fall of 2014.

This campaign is designed to raise the funds necessary to make the film "Stash,” which will be included as one of the five 20-minute segments in the feature DEVIL'S FIVE.  Award-winning Director Terry Wickham has put together his best crew to go along with a stellar cast of actors who are all determined to bring Tim Clark's shocking script to life.  The movie Stash will be shot over a seven-day shooting schedule.

Personal Promise

We will work tirelessly to produce “Stash” with the highest integrity possible.  If for some reason we don’t reach our entire financial goal, we will adjust accordingly while never compromising the film’s overall quality.

Your pledge will play a huge role in realizing "Stash" and directly impact the production level we are able to achieve.  Ultimately, your involvement goes beyond just "Stash" because it will be included in a feature film.  Through its inclusion in DEVIL'S FIVE, the opportunity for "Stash" to reach a worldwide audience is increased dramatically.

This is the first time Terry Wickham has ever crowd funded a movie.  He wants to expand his cinematic horizon with "Stash" and reach a new filmmaking plateau.  In order to realize his vision, "Stash" will be shot utilizing a 4K digital image captured with a RED camera.  Terry has also recruited a very talented Steadicam operator, skilled costumer, dedicated production designer as well as a full crew of experienced camera personnel.

DEVIL'S FIVE - Feature Film

On another note, the production has secured licensing rights to the song “Delivering The Black” from internationally known heavy metal powerhouse Primal Fear.  The song, which is the title track to the band’s latest album, will play over the end credits.
