Toronto,
ON - Farmer Vision Media is proud to present the trailer for their upcoming
horror webseries Resurrectionist. Resurrectionist is 25-part series adapted
from the classic suspense novella The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H.P.
Lovecraft.
Resurrectionist
takes Lovecraft’s original work and translates it to modern day, as well as
adapting the narrative to touch on other aspects of his famous Dream Cycle. The
story follows Dr.Marina Willett (Mikaela Dyke), a psychiatric resident in
Providence, RI, as she treats and investigates her friend Charles Dexter Ward
who’s become dangerously ob- sessed with his family’s dark past.
The
series is told through Willett’s taped testimony, as she trys to clear her name
in the investigation into Charles’ disappearance. She has compiled a narrative
of found foot- age cobbled together from Charles’ video blogs, old films clips
he’s restored, their taped sessions together and her own investigations.
Writer/Director Cameron Maitland says he chose ‘The Case of Charles Dexter
Ward’ be- cause: “The novella offers a unique depth and breadth compared to
many of Lovecraft’s works. Told in multiple formats and exploring so many dark
corners of his universe, it creates a fun playground to mix styles of
filmmaking and explore cinematic history as we tell the dark tale of Ward and
his evil ancestor Joseph Curwen”
One
episode the audience may sit down to a webcam-facing video blog , the next a
strange clip from a 1960s 8mm home movie and then a modern news report
following the path of Charles’ similar destruction. Through these changing
formats we hope to create a comprehensive adaptation of Lovecraft’s work doing
justice to the complexity of his narrative and allowing the terror to shine
through.
Throughout
March, Farmer Vision is promoting this video to gain attention and support as
they head into full production. The series plans to make its debut at
NecronomiCON Providence 2015.
