Gray Matter is a non-commerical short horror film adaptation of "Gray Matter", a story by Stephen King from his collection Night Shift.
I've been making movies as long as I can remember, but my adventure really begins right here, with you. This is the first time I've attempted to raise a proper budget for one of my own creative projects and I'm extremely excited. As a long time Stephen King reader, Gray Matter was always one of my favorite stories. It all takes place during a winter storm, when a group of regulars at a liquor store travel out to check on a friend who has slowly been "changing shape" over the past couple months. In many ways, Gray Matter is an old fashioned monster movie. The feeling I'd like to leave you with after watching is similar to when you went through a really creepy haunted house as a kid. You were scared as hell, but loved it all the way through.
I really believe in this project, this story, and I know I can do something amazing with it. If you believe in me PLEDGE this project to life. In many ways we are dealing with Frankenstein here, which means you are all my bolt of lightning. Strike now and come January we will all be running around screaming IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!
Thank you so much for all your support! A little GRAY...grows a long way!
