Grotto-Short Film-Ballard HS Digital Film Academy, 2 Males 30 to middle aged.

About the project and the company

Two men live in a cabin in the woods together, one becomes addicted to an unknown force in the forest and is driven to insanity, eventually being compelled to eat his roommate.

For one person we will likely only need 1-2 days to film their scenes, for the other we will need one more.

The majority of the shoots we will be inside, either in studios, or someone’s house. One day of shooting will be at the arboretum, which will likely be quite short but may be at night.

There will be one scene with a lot of fake blood and guts, let me know if you aren’t comfortable with this, we can use a double for one of the actors.

Two male characters enter a seemingly deserted building. Shortly after the building explodes. The two characters are seen fleeing the crime scene. 3 .A person is in his study. The shelves are stacked with books, old maps, and globes. The person is writing on a parchment using his quill. He seems apprehensive. He takes a small knife he uses for opening his letters and he runs the tip of the blade through the candle flame. Then, he makes a small cut and a few blood drops fall on the table. He dips the quill in the blood and as he gets prepared to sign his name at the bottom of the page, black letters spontaneously appear on his arm. A dinner scene. A large dining table, with different kinds of food and expensive cutlery. The guests are well-dressed and well-rehearsed in etiquette. A senior member of the family announces a change in his will. Everybody on the table is horrified.
