"There are some things worse than airline food," and a punk rock band is about to find that out the hard way while 30,000 feet in the air in the proof of concept short film Dead Air. Directed by Geoff Harmer and written by Peter Hearn (the filmmaker behind Scrawl), Dead Air is a love letter to ’80s practical effects and flat-out fun horror comedies, and while it has been filmed, it needs your help getting across the finish line.
From Dead Air's Indiegogo Page: "Dead Air is a story about a group of female punks on a plane to their final gig who come up against a horde of evil little creatures who want nothing more than to drag everyone to hell.
WE HAVE SHOT IT. WE NOW NEED YOUR HELP TO FINISH IT.
Welcome back to Dead Air, a fun horror comedy that mixes Gremlins & Critters together with Twilight Zone’s A Nightmare at 20,000 feet & Josie and the Pussycats.
What has happened since the last crowdfunding?
We tasted our first Comic Con experience at SciFi Wales back at the start of September. We moved on from this and have just finished a successful 6 day shoot at Black Hangar Studios in Hampshire and are now looking to complete the film. We want to get it out to festivals and hopefully on the runway to a feature length adventure.
But in order to do that, we need your help!
The crowdfunding for this project was always a 2 phase affair. With the film shot and in the can we now need to raise funds for post production."
