Perkins’ 14 Gets National Debut

Posted by dominie in Events, Films, News on August 21st, 2008

Perkins’ 14, an After Dark Films’ production, and Massify in association with FanLib, will début in theaters nationwide in the January 2009’s After Dark Horrorfest. The feature film is the first of its kind to have completed its development process entirely over the Internet—first Massify.com invited writers to pitch their favorite storyline from which a board of community members would vote for their favorite story, then actors were encouraged to submit audition videos to be cast for the winning story.

Jeremy Donaldson was the winner that pitched the idea of Perkins’ 14. The story is a killer thriller that follows Robert Perkins whose parents were massacred at their home when he was only six years old. Since that dreadful night, he had convinced himself that the assassins would return to finish him off. Perkins, now 34 years old, abducts 14 people to brainwash them into his personal team of psycho killers.

The screenplay was written by Lane Shadgett (Luna Park, All Lost Souls) and directed by award winning Craig Singer (Dark Ride, Dead Dogs Lie, A Good Night to Die), who also directed a previous After Dark Horrorfest release that grossed rather successful numbers. Perkins’ 14 thus far has had great success and has now gone into post-production based in NYC.
