Hello! We are Frenetic Films Productions, a production company based out of Oregon and you're checking out our indiegogo campaign. This campaign is to help us get our second feature off the ground. Our first feature All Hell Breaks Loose was a success by any measure, but as with most things involving money, it's going to take us some time to see money from our distribution deal with Wild Eye Releasing. Rather than sit around twiddling our thumbs, we're moving forward with our next movie, and believe it or not, it will actually be more violent, more brutal, and wackier than our first film.
Having learned more on the set of All Hell Breaks Loose than most trust-fund babies learn in an entire four years at film school, we are ready to go bigger, go bloodier, and go brutaler... I know, that's not a word, but that's how extreme our next project, The Cemetery People, is going to be!
Synopsis:
The Cemetery People is the tale of white trash hooligans who kidnap some fun-loving, costumed college kids on Halloween. After a twisted game of spin the bottle and some unsavory behavior by our female villain Buzz, they awaken a not-so-ancient evil that lives in an old cemetery in the woods... The Cemetery People. Now our gang of hooligans and college kids must survive the night and avoid being torn apart and eaten by demons. Their only help comes in the form of a backwoods hermit, a perverted priest, and a demon-slaying handbook.
The Cemetery People is going to happen. How awesome it will be depends on the success of this campaign. We already have a letter of intent from a distributor... now we just need an infusion of cash to make the film as awesome as possible. With your help, we hope to make a film every bit as iconic and unforgettable as The Evil Dead, Night of the Demons, or Demons.
Who the Hell Are We?Frenetic Films Productions is a movie production company based out of Oregon. We have worked on a couple shorts over the years, and completed out first feature All Hell Breaks Loose, which will be released by Wild Eye Releasing this year. We already have a letter of intent from our distributor to release The Cemetery People, so this movie will also see the light of day once it's funded.
Jeremy Garner - Originally based
out of Eugene, Oregon, Jeremy Garner originally broke into the film business
doing special effects for such indie films as Depraved, Melvin, Crowbar,
and Killing Me. Since then, he has branched out into all branches of
production, including editing, sound design, special effects, casting, and
directing. With his skills firmly in place, he produced his first film, All
Hell Breaks Loose, which has garnered much critical acclaim and a cult
following throughout the world. With The Cemetery People, Jeremy Garner will be
returning to the director's chair, in addition to overseeing and producing the
film.
The Vocabulariast - The Vocabulariast
began his film career not by making movies but by critiquing them. As the CEO
of the now defunct website MovieCynics.com, he watched and reviewed thousands
of movies, mostly of the cult and horror variety. This work served as an
impromptu film school, and after tiring of reviewing movies, he set out to make
his own. The Vocabulariast is a screenwriter whose credits include All Hell
Breaks Loose and The Cemetery People. In addition, he has also
published three books: This Rotten World, Unmade: A Neo-nihilist
Vampire Tale, and Let's Get Drunk and Watch Horror Movies. With The
Cemetery People, The Vocabulariast will be co-directing and focusing on coaxing
the best performances out of the film's talented cast and crew.
CAST:
*UPDATE* Sadly Ellie Church is no longer with us. She had to step down due to family reasons. We wish Ellie the best of luck and look forward to working with her in the future.
Dani Inks as Haley - Appearing
in the cult classic Maskhead, Dani
Inks is another up-and-coming actress. In addition to Maskhead, she has starred in several shorts including Addictions, Insomniac, and Truth on High.
Tommy Hestmark as Brody - Tommy
Hestmark has been slaving away in the acting world for years. With an imposing
stature and dreamy eyes, Hestmark is set to play Brody, the heroic deputy of
The Cemetery People. Tommy made his feature film debut in All Hell Breaks Loose.
Leif Fuller as Jebediah - Leif
is one of the best character actors in Oregon. He has appeared in a multitude
of indie films throughout Oregon over the last decade, garnering an odd
following. With his ability to play awkward, geeky, and sometimes perverted
characters, Leif is a true find. Leif has had major roles in All Hell Breaks Loose, Melvin, and is attached to The Cemetery People.
SPECIAL EFFECTS:
Jerami Cruise - Special Effects - As the lead special effects artist at world famous
ToeTag EFX, Jerami Cruise has already made quite a name for himself. His
effects are brutal, realistic, and his name alone will attract attention to a
film. His credits include films such as Murder-Set-Pieces,
Revenge is Her Middle Name, August Underground's Mordum, and Brutal Massacre: A Comedy. His effects
will put The Cemetery People on the
map

With your help, we can assemble this team and create one of the best horror movies of the year... no joke. But if we don't reach our goal, we are going to have to scale back some of our plans. We'll still make the movie, but it's not going to be as amazing as it would be. We need your help!

What We Need & What You Get
Frenetic Films Production is looking for an infusion of cash to the tune of $20,000 dollars.
This money will be used for the following:
Locations - Movies are better when you can use actual locations as opposed to fake-looking and cheaply made sets. Locations cost money.
Cast - We can get cast and crew for free. We have many people who believe in us, but we would like to be able to pay them for their time. They deserve it and are every bit as skilled as the crew. Also, we'd like to be able to feed them while they are on set. Starving actors are bad actors.
Crew - We need money to get the best people behind the camera.
Sound Design - Sound is always expensive, but it can be the difference between a great movie and a crappy one. We're not sound experts, so we have to hire out this work.
Special Effects - Special effects are expensive. I talked to the cast and asked them if anyone of them would like to be killed for real, for the sake of art... there were no bites. So we need money to pay for special effects and horror-master Jerami Cruise. He's already agreed to do the film, we just need the cash.
WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF THIS?
We have a variety of perks and packages for you. Check them out.
$1 - Karma - For a single buck, the price of a nasty cheap hamburger from a fast food joint, you will receive an immediate dose of goodwill and karma from our cast and crew. Positive things will happen to you... truth.
$5 - Credit
Whore - For the price of a plain Little Caesar's cheese pizza, you will be forever immortalized in the credits. You get to watch the movie, and then when you're name scrolls by, you can shout to your friends and family, "That's me! Look at me! I'm famous!"
$25 - The DVD
Buster -
You will receive a copy of our last feature film "All Hell Breaks
Loose" and exclusive behind the scenes content while we are filming. The
only question? Is your DVD player strong enough to handle the insanity? *Note*
Frenetic Films Productions is not responsible for TVs or DVD players that
explode upon coming into contact with All Hell Breaks Loose.
$40- Straight pimpn'-Whoa, you'll be a straight pimp watching the dvd of The cemetery People wrapped in the awesomness of a Frenetic Films tshirt and listening to the original soundtrack cd. People are going to envy you... and we'll love you for the support.

$50 - Dude,
where's my pants? - You'll receive a limited edition 24 x 40 poster
for The Cemetery People and a screener link to the finished film. Display the
poster behind yourself while watching the carnage in the comfort of your own
home... pants optional.
$75 - A Badass
Wrapped in Awesome - You're probably badass... you need a shirt to
show it. When you buy this perk, you'll score "The Cemetery People"
T-shirt, and you will become a badass wrapped in awesome. You'll also get a signed
picture of the cast... they'll probably have clothes on, but you never know.
$100 - The
Old-School Horror Package - This one is for the retro horror
pimps out there. 100 bucks scores you an ultra-limited VHS copy of The Cemetery
People from SRS Video and a limited edition poster of The Cemetery People signed by the cast.

$100 - A Piece
of the Body

Cemetery People. We will deliver it to you, blood and all. You will get
nightmares from the aforementioned prop. You're welcome.

$100- Demon
Package
- Ever wanted a sweaty special effects dude rubbing his hands all over your
face? You're in luck! By choosing this option, you get to actually be in the
movie as a background demon. Experience the glory of hot set lights and chat up
cool actors and actresses. We are not responsible for travel expenses. *Note* This is not an actual "package" of a demon.
$300 - I Want to
Be the Horror
- We will let you kill one of us... in the movie. You won't really be murdering
us, (I asked for volunteers, but no one is willing to step up.) but you'll get to do the next best thing. You will get to be a featured
demon and kill someone in the movie. This could be your big break! Travel
expenses are not covered.
$500 - The Mr.
Slate Package
- For five hundred bucks, you get to be the slate operator on set for a day, or
perhaps even more if you really love it. The slate operator is the glue of a
film production. Without you... no one ever gets to yell "Action!" We
need you here. In between takes, you'll get to watch us make the film, hobnob
with actors and actresses, and eat delicious food.
$5,000 - The
Associate Producer Package - You are a king among men. You will
receive all the benefits a king deserves. In addition to receiving an Associate
Producer credit and being known as the guy who got The Cemetery People made,
you'll receive all of the previous perks. With the exception of "Be the
Horror" depending on availability.
$20,000 - The De
Laurentiis Package - Want to be a successful producer a la Dino De
Laurentiis? Great! You want to give us the money to make the movie? Awesome!
You got the money, we got the talent. You can work with us in whatever capacity
you wish. Want to be on set? Ok. Want to hang out? Why not? You'll get all of
the previous perks, and become a part of our team, plus, you receive a producer
credit... this could be the start of something special.
Whether we reach our goals or not, the film will be made, and all money will go into the production of The Cemetery People. Perks will be honored, so there is absolutely zero risk... unless there is a demonic apocalypse, which is always a possibility. Cross your fingers!
The Impact or "Why should I want to help you weirdos?
The world is a sad place. Horror movies make it better. We aren't just interested in making this one horror movie, we are interested in making a bunsload of horror movies. We want to make so many that we can populate a video store by ourselves. We are getting started; with another movie under our belts, the income should roll in, and we can focus full-time on re-creating the horror movie industry that we grew up loving full of cheap, but well-made cult classics that people will love forever. It's time for horror to rise, and we're the folks to do it. With your help, it can happen.
Risks:
With other campaigns, there are huge risks associated with them. You might just be throwing your money into an endless pit and never see anything for your cash. We have essentially eliminated all risks by securing distribution beforehand. The movie will be made and you will get to see it. Join us. One of us! One of us!
