15 Second Horror Films: Crawlspace & A Gripping Tale

[Matt Kieley]

Last year I DP'd and edited two films for the 15 Second Horror challenge, and I meant to share them here, but forgot. The first is Crawlspace, written & directed by my friend Chess Maxwell:

Crawlspace made it onto Lloyd Kaufman's top ten, which was exciting for us since we're all fans of The Toxic Avenger and were inspired by Troma when we were teenagers. You can see it and the rest of "Uncle Lloyd"s Top Ten here:

The other film was "A Gripping Tale" written & directed by my friend Steve Sanders:

Both were shot on the Panasonic G7 in CineV with Canon FD lenses. This was one of the most fun shoots I've worked on recently. Both were shot at the same location, same day, back to back, with the same cast and crew, and I'm pretty proud of our work on these.
