Your upcoming movie Bunny Man Slaughter - in a few words,
what's it going to be about?
Our
title character The Bunny Man has been an urban legend for many years, and
the story is that a man got attacked by sickly mutated bunnies in a
forest. He was presumed dead, even though his body was never recovered, but
did he die? A few unlucky people will find out whether the urban legend is real
or not in some hilariously horrible ways.
What were your sources of
inspiration when writing Bunny Man Slaughter ... and why a bunny? Earlier
this year I decided to start my own horror festival called Sarah of Horror
Festival, and I also wanted to promote it in a fun way. Me and my team
created three very short promo clips for the festival featuring a killer
in a bunny mask, and the positive response I got was so big that I wanted
to create a feature film out of this character. Do
talk about Bunny Man Slaughter's approach to horror? Lately
I've been loving the SOV (shot-on-video) style look of films such as Dude
Bro Party Massacre 3, Spirit Animal and the V/H/S
movies, and I though that
this style will be perfect for the type of movie that I am making, which
is a horror comedy that mostly takes place outside. We will also be
working with some animatronics to create some rather sickly looking
mutated bunny creatures, because I do love my monster creations from 80's
horror movies and we will only have handmade SFX, which will be a bit
tricky and time consuming but also fun.

Anything
you can tell us about the film's overall look and feel yet? Hopefully
it will be a throwback to both 90s and 80s horror movies with the
SOV-style and the use of fun gory kills and handmade animatronics
creatures. You'll
also appear in front of the camera in Bunny Man Slaughter - so what
can you tell us about your character, and have you written her with
yourself in mind from the get-go? In
one of the promo clips we filmed, we actually see myself being dragged
away by the Bunny Man before the camera cuts to black, and my character
will be based on that particular character, so I already had a lot to work
with while thinking about my character which made it a lot easier to write
her. So yes, in Bunny Man Slaughter I have written my character with myself
in mind from the get-go. Anything you can tell
us about the rest of your projected cast and crew yet, and why these
people? Everyone
I have cast so far I have worked with in some form both infront and behind
the camera. Andres Ramos (director of Sargad) will be back both infront
and behind the camera, helping me with some of the writing, filming and
directing. Jasmine Martinez (Create Your Killer) is back in a major role
in this one, and then we have David Dalling who I have always wanted to
work with in front of the camera, so this is a real dream come true. We
also have Joakim Orrbén, who will modify the Bunny Man masks and help out
with other things. More casting and crew announcements will be made as
soon as we are able to reveal them. As I understand, Bunny Man Slaughter will
be a rather "outdoorsy" movie - so do you have any concrete
locations in mind for the shoot yet, and why there?

We
do have a few locations we will be testing out soon and see which one will
have the best look and feel for our film, but we haven't decided on any
particular location yet. You're
currently running a fundraiser for Bunny Man Slaughter - so do talk
about your campaign for a bit! We of course wanted our fans and followers to be able to contribute to our
movie if they choose so, and make them involved in some way. We do offer a
thank you on social media, your name in the end credit of the movie and a
chance to see Bunny Man Slaughter before anyone else online. We are so
thankful for all the support we have gotten for the campaign already, and
without the love from our beloved fans we would not have been able to
create my first feature film Sargad and my latest short horror comedy
Create Your Killer, which is up on my YouTube page. Once the budget's in
place, what's the schedule? And any idea when and where the film might be
released yet, however tentatively? We
are planning on shooting this in the spring of 2023, hopefully in
April/May and we are currently creating the shot list and shooting
schedule. We do hope it will get a release in the late summer/early fall
of 2023, but you never know what migh happen and what kind of obstacles we
might face. Any future projects
beyond Bunny Man Slaughter you'd like to share? The
submissions for the second year of my horror festival just opened and I am
very excited - https://filmfreeway.com/SarahofHorrorFestival. I also have a few projects in mind that I can't say anything
about just yet. Your/your
movie's website, social media, IndieGoGo, whatever else?
