Movies You Made: “Speed Kills”
For several months, I’ve been tagging a bunch of emails from filmmakers who have contacted me about their film projects, so I figured we should feature them this May. If you have a movie, either short-form or long, with which you were involved — writer, actor, director — please either email me or post details in comments. Happy to promote them on GITS.
Today we feature the short film Speed Kills from filmmaker Alan Rogers. Background from Alan:
Hi Scott,
I’m a filmmaker from Ireland and I directed a short horror film a couple of years ago. I just made it live on You Tube today. It was a lot of fun making this short, we made it in one day with a great cast and crew. Everyone just came together. It’s based on a comic a friend of mine wrote, in fact the main character in this short has gone on to be in many more comics which can be found here.
I tried to make it look and sound like a 70’s horror movie. I don’t want to give you any kind of synopsis as I’ve always found this to be a hard one to talk about without giving it away. This was my first real foray into the film world and it really stuck with me as I have gone on to become a freelance Director of Photography and Editor.
Here is the film:
