The story so far
Hi there,
Wow! We have received some fantastic support for the production from some legends of film. Check out the Press and Contacts page to see the best of them.
We have started publicising The 10 Pound Horror Film in the UK and will then roll in out internationally but we already have subscribers from America, Canada, France and Australia. Despite being a British film we really want the input and involvement of people from around the world. I devised this production to break some of the traditional routes for making a film and through the community of Horror Fiends want to pool talents from all over the planet to make the best film we can.
I think this production method is only possible today because of the power of the internet and want to harness this power and bring together people who want to start or further a career in film. I am sure the product will be a truly 21st century film with a greater level of creative input as a result. I am very excited about the production and from the feedback we have had from Directors such as Nicolas Roeg I am not the only one. We need your help to make this happen so tell all your friends to sign up as it takes a lot of people to make a film so be a part of film history and help bring back British Horror!

Greetings Horror Fans
First off, thanks for checking out http://www.the10poundhorrorfilm.com/
So what is there to write in this debut blog?
Well, I suppose a bit of background to myself would be useful.
My name is Luke Dormehl (that is a Dutch South African surname for those
of you who are wondering) and I've been making films since I was eight.
The first one was ironically (or perhaps just prophetically) a horror
film: an eight year olds version of ALIEN (which is more-or-less like a
chest-bursting version of Citizen Kane for people who love horror films).
I made short films all the way through primary and senior school before
talking my way on to a film set one summer holidays to work as a
Production Assistant (you know, those people who make coffee for the
extras on a film set). After school I took a gap year and spent it
working for a local television production company making the most
embarrassing corporate videos ever.
Things got serious when I went to university. In a move which I hope
will get the sympathy (although probably not the empathy) of students
everywhere, I gave up alcohol for three years as well as using my
student loan and working as a bin man and milk factory worker in order
to buy myself film equipment. Using this I started making documentaries,
the most recent of which comes out next month and Ill provide more
details nearer the time.
So what will the end result of this project be? Well, hopefully it will
end up with a finished feature-length horror film in your local cinemas.
At absolute worse, this website will offer a fascinating look at what it
takes to put a film together. Every single success, failure, triumph,
trauma et al will be recorded here; giving you an insight into how a
film like this comes together.
Right now, thanks to the support of horror icons like Kane Hodder
(Jason in Friday the 13th), filmmakers like Jonathan King (Black Sheep)
and Adam Green (Hatchet) we have the best start you could want for a project like this.
In subsequent blog instalments, I will fill you in on how we got to the
point we are currently with this project, but in the meantime, please sign up to the website. It only costs £10 to support this film, and the end result is going to be fantastic! Otherwise, just drop me an email lukedormehl@the10poundhorrorfilm.com with a couple of words of encouragement
or any questions you may have.
Until next time --
Excelsior!
