My name is Justin M. Seaman, and other than being cursed with a terrible last name best suited for a ship mate or a job in the adult entertainment industry (cough), I'm an aspiring filmmaker, and the leader of a great group of individuals at Nevermore Production. I started making home movies when I was about 5 years old with the family camcorder. Which led to a lot of my friends hanging out, and making short films through high school and eventually into college where we formed Nevermore Production Films near Pittsburgh, PA in 2008. We made a documentary about WWII veterans called 'The Heroes of Post 639', and a family drama called 'The Miracle of Danny' which helped us gain many accolades and credibility, but I’ve personally always wanted to make a feature length horror film...in fact I've been dreaming about it for decades!

I wrote 'The Barn' when I was just 8 years old. I was obsessed with all things horror as a kid. You name it, and I've probably watched it. But, my most favorite rentals were Night of the Demons, Night of the Creeps,The Monster Squad, Return of the Living Dead, Legend, Trick or Treat, and Ghostbusters just to name a few. Because of those films I wanted to make my own movies one day. I wanted to make a horror film that I would have immediately been drawn to on the video store shelf. A good old fashioned monster flick with some killer box art.

I wanted to write, direct, and edit it someday. So I kept all my little story books tucked away for safe keeping. However, someday took roughly 20 years until a good friend, Maggi Mizell, believed in my vision enough to partner with me and become a co-producer.
Our first obstacle of many to come, was that we couldn't find people who were realible enough to play the main baddies so we said "screw it," we have to be here anyway we'll just play the monsters ourselves. Thus how I became 'The Boogeyman' and our crew member Jed Giacchino got roped in to playing both "Hallowed Jack" and "The Candycorn Scarecrow"!

As far as the film is concerned, I wanted to be able to give that same joy that I got out of watching films made back in the 80s, with moviegoers today. There was just something special about that era of movie making that I think is missing today to some extent, especially the marketing side of things.

Speaking of such things, the marketing later used for films like 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' shot the franchise into cult status. You name it and Freddy's face was probably printed on it. I thought, why not market our film as if it were an actual horror film released in the late 80's, or early 90's, and create buzz around the film with authentic merchandise? No one does this anymore right!?! After putting up a few pictures of some of our faux merchandise on the internet people immediately started contacting us asking when this movie came out, and why they've never heard of it..."Where can I find a copy?"

Nevermore Production Studios is looking to raise at least $15,000 dollars to help with merchandise budget and it's share of the finishing costs of the film, but a large portion of that total ends up being fees, shipping, and fulfillment- so every dollar helps. We actually started shooting the film about a year and a half ago and we are currently wrapping up all the loose ends. We were fortunate enough to have Fangoria feature us as an exclusive story and trailer reveal back in October 2014 and February 2015- which led to tons of exposure for the film.

So much attention and hype has surrounded the film from all around the world that especially now more than ever we want to make sure the audience gets what they want, and deserve. Due to budgetary constraints, because this is an indie film, I initially had to cut about 3 scenes out that were very important to me as a story teller for the film. I feel the audience and the story arc of the characters need these scenes put back in to really capture everything I was going for when I wrote this story. Funding would also go to some additional SFX, sound mixing services, and to help with future marketing of the film, because we are still seeking distribution. The plan right now is to hopefully have a screening of the movie by the end of 2015, but as of right now we don't have any plans for a full release of the movie other than getting a copy through this campaign.

We know you work hard for your money (and so does Dr. Rock!) and that's exactly why we wanted to offer perks that make it worth donating to a company you've probably never heard of before! We are turning to family members, friends, film enthusiasts, and supporters of the arts to help us raise at least $15,000 to help Nevermore Production Studios finish this production to its full scope and cover the expenses of marketing more than anything. Money raised in addition to the $15,000 will help cover additional post-production, and distribution costs such as convention appearances and submission fees to film festivals among other things including reducing Nevermore Production Studios initial merchandise costs for future sales.

Nevermore Production Films has completed two past films with small budgets in the past. Several issues occurred during production, but we were able work through them to make a great finished film. We can promise that no matter what amount of money is raised through this campaign that the film will be finished, but it might not be the full vision if we don't reach our goal.
If we don't raise what we need, we will put it to use where its most needed to complete the story as best we can.
