Press Release: Forbidden Films, the production company behind Found and Headless, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for The Bad Man, a new movie written and directed by Scott Schirmer (Found). The Bad Man centers on a young couple who are kidnapped in their own home by a homicidal clown who begins training them to become sex objects that he will sell at auction to a cult of wealthy deviants.
“It’s a harrowing escape story,” says Schirmer. “You’ll see the two protagonists, Mary and PJ, go through so much. One of them will hold onto their humanity, and the other will pretty much lose it. But together they will try and escape this horrifying, dehumanizing ordeal.” Already cast in the project are Ellie Church (Time to Kill, Headless) as Mary; Jason Crowe (Dead Moon Rising) as PJ; and Arthur Cullipher (special effects artist and director of Headless) as the Clown. Schirmer’s previous film, Found, played at over forty film festivals around the world and won 18 best picture awards. The Bad Man reunites many of the Found crew, including producer Leya Taylor and effects artist Shane Beasley.
If successfully funded by September 7th, The Bad Man will begin filming in October, with a planned release in 2016. Kickstarter backers can choose from a range of rewards in exchange for their contributions – from limited edition DVDs and blu-rays to autographed posters and props from the film...
