Northern UK film-makers, Thomas R. Houston and Dane Jones, are set to launch a Kickstarter campaign for their post-apocalyptic, debut feature film, ANATHEMA. If successful, the funds will be used to produce the movie and help bring this dark and brooding story to screen.
Short Synopsis: Mankind’s end is near. A lethal pathogen has consumed the globe, causing civilisation to collapse upon itself.
From the ashes, rises a new world. A cruel, merciless, violent world.
Several months after the collapse, Addison, and his younger sister, Kate, travel through the country seeking refuge from the harsh hostilities of the post-apocalypse.
Survival is an everyday fight.
Story: ANATHEMA is a taut, post-apocalyptic thriller/coming of age story following a teenager and his sister as they journey across the country, seeking out the rumours of salvation.
Addison must learn that all he used to know is gone and his life depends on adapting to this hostile new world.
ANATHEMA explores the depth of human behavior and survival in the most extreme situations.
With dark overtones and insurmountable pressures, the film tells a tense story about growing up and the choices we are forced to make to continue.
Director: ANATHEMA’s Writer/Director, Thomas R. Houston, is a seasoned film-maker in short format. Many years in the industry as a freelance corporate & music video director and local film-maker have given him the vision & ability to convey fantastic, personal stories on screen.
Cast: ANATHEMA has received interest in the lead roles from the likes of Alex Etel, lead of Danny Boyle’s Millions and The Water Horse, Amber Rose Revah, most notable for The Devil’s Double and award winning John Lynch, who starred in Sliding Doors, In The Name Of Our Father and many international T.V. dramas.
Kickstarter: The purpose of this Kickstarter is to raise £30k for the production of ANATHEMA.
During and upon completion of production we will raise finance via industry sources and tax credits for post-production/distribution.
