'You Belong to the Spider'

This is our short horror film called 'Thorax', entering production this year. This film follows Arran, a recent postgraduate, whose obsession with spiders overwhelms him and leads him down a dark path.

We are a small team of young, independent filmmakers creating and studying films in Bristol. The production of this film is helmed by our director, Molly, who is also our special effects makeup artist. She has worked on a number of short films, both in the horror genre and others, which has honed her skills ready for the challenge of this ambitious project.

Why We Are Crowdfunding

Due to the ambitious scope of this project, especially in the spectacle of the special effects, we are looking for support through crowdfunding to cover our material costs, such as costume, travel expenses and makeup and prop materials. They will be used to create stop motion spiders, puppets, and gruesome on camera deaths, and to raise the production value of the film as a whole. 

Any monetary support is greatly appreciated and every penny will be put into the film and felt on screen.

Why 'Thorax'

As filmmakers, creating films is one of the highest priorities we have. 'Thorax' is a passion project for every member of the crew and we hope to create the absolute best film we can. Through your support of young filmmakers and independent filmmaking, we will better be able to achieve that goal, and you will be able to see that once 'Thorax' is released.

The Crew

As stated above, this film is greatly ambitious in many ways. Despite this, we are all confident in our abilities to create something that will both terrify and intrigue you. Each crew member has extensive experience in making short films locally in Bristol, through three years of filmmaking in their University course and further experience in independant filmmaking. Here are the members of our crew and their roles:

Molly Hipkiss - Director and Special Effects Makeup Artist

Tegan Greaves - Producer

Reuben Sandiford - Writer

Dominic Pottle - Director of Photography and Editor

Henry Lee - 1st Assistant Director

Bethany McIlwain - Composer and Sound Designer

Other Ways You Can Help

While crowdfunding support is appreciated, it is not the only way you can help. Any support through word-of-mouth or on social media is also important to us to help us find our audience.

Thank you for your support.
