‘Channel-surfing horror movie’ Transmission to screen at FrightFest

Transmission, the unique and surreal horror, will have its World Premiere at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest on Saturday 26th August.

Described as the first of its kind channel-surfing horror, Transmission is a twisted take on the classic horror anthologies like you’ve never seen before!

As we watch TV late at night, flipping between channels we realize that a live TV news report about a home invasion, a documentary about a missing film director and an old sci-fi horror movie are all linked, and they are really parts of a much bigger,, terrifying story containing footage that must never be shown…

Directed and Written by Michael Hurst, Transmission stars Vernon Wells, Felissa Rose, Dave Sheridan and Sadie Katz.

Director and Writer, Michael Hurst;

“After 20 years making what you might call solid B-pictures such as House of the Dead 2, Pumpkinhead 4, Paradox and Room 6, as well as a few TV episodes, I decided to try and make something that no producer would ever ‘let’ me do normally. I was determined to make a bolder and weirder and hopefully more original film, one that’s told in a format that hadn’t been done before.

Director and Writer, Michael Hurst;

“Because the project was so risky I decided to self-finance it, partly by using money I’d made writing a script for the legendary Roger Corman. Then I teamed up with an enthusiastic group of fellow filmmakers in LA to do it. Despite years of hard work and stress it was still the most creatively fulfilling time I’ve had in my career. Now I’m really excited (and nervous!) that Transmission is going to be a part of the great Frightest festival.”
