Dead Sunrise.
Dead Sunrise, a horror film about flesh eating children terrorising a group of lost teenagers at a secret facility, is the first feature from director Michal Imielski.
The film was made on a micro budget using emerging cast and crew, and written by Sydney boys Peter Maple and Imielski.
“It’s a real Parramatta/Sydney production”, Imielski said.
“There’s so much talent here, it’s a real hub of creative people and the film really benefits from that”.
The director is in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign to bankroll post.
“Horror is such a fan based genre, and the fans are very generous if they think you are doing something good".
"We're crowdfunding the final phase of post production on the movie, not only so we can avoid the bureaucracy of government film funding but also to let the fans have a real connection to the film, a real sense of ownership”.
“We wanted to make a different kind of zombie film, while honouring all the things fans love about the genre. “ Imielski said.
Imielski has been artistic director of the Shh Hybrid Arts Company in Sydney's Parramatta for twelve years.
Shh specialises in 'bringing together artists from different professions to work together on creative and confronting works blending old and new styles, ideas and technologies'.
Imielski is hosting a fundraiser for the film at Shh on February 25.
