Independent British Film Company producing next Blair Witch?
by William Wood
An independent British Film Company based in London, UK, are producing a Feature Film on the paranormal activity at Crowley Hall. Walrus Films are a small film company that have produced short films and music videos up until now. This is their first venture into the World of Independent Feature Film Production.
The paranormal incidents were first brought to the attention of Walrus Films when ghost investigator Arron Kasady decided that he would make a documentary about the hauntings there. The Film Company saw this as a chance to produce the documentary and present it as a feature film, with Daren Marc directing.
Due to be released around Halloween 2007, the film makers are using the internet to sell the 'The Ghosts of Crowley hall' to the World, and are taking on Hollywood at their own game. The internet today presents a number of new selling opportunities that have not yet been fully exploited by the film making community.
Big Hollywood Companies possess budgets that Walrus Films cannot compete with. However, the internet levels the playing field to some degree, and gives more opportunities to the smaller independent film companies to compete with the big names.
It is now possible to reach a World-wide market through the internet, and reach an audience that had been previously inaccessible to the low-budget film maker. Websites are cheap to set-up and many are now free, and with advertising being accessible to anybody on a modest budget, it is now possible to reach a mass market.
Walrus Films are using popular video sharing websites such as YouTube and MySpace to promote their film, using video clips and trailers.
Internet sales now account for a larger proportion of all sales, particularly in the DVD market, and the company intend to sell their product to the World by these means. Big names such as Amazon and Play.com will be their outlet, as well as selling through their own sites.
It will be interesting too see how the film market develops in this new arena, as focus shifts away from the costly methods of theatrical distribution, and into the realm of internet marketing and video-on-demand services. Will 'The Ghosts of Crowley Hall' be able to make its mark on the World through the internet? Or will it merely go un-noticed in the ever increasing stream of video internet traffic?
This film is being produced by Walrus Films. Find out more at our Ghosts MySpace page and movie clips at the Ghosts YouTube page. Click here for other unique 'movie' articles.
