Hi Sam, I am similar, though perhaps I am leaning towards something seeped in magic and wonder as well. Is slasher kind of films you are talking of or movies emotionally affecting in other ways also?
Response from 5 years, 8 months ago - Fred W SHOW
5 years, 8 months ago - Sam Carter
Hi Fred thanks for the response. To answer your question we have a short in post production at the moment which is my existential/ unexplained I guess you could call magicalish and currently have a more of a slasher type in pre production which I would like to shoot soon. I like both and would like to experiment in things grounded in reality and things that aren't. To answer your final question I prefer films that are about the characters more than just a hack n slash horror something like Green Room for example not technically horror but still terrifying. Where are you based?

Hi Sam, I'm a composer, sound designer and mixer based in Bexhill on Sea in East Sussex - I kind of specialise in the unusual, dark, experimental etc. Lots of experience in all kinds of music composition (including orchestral, electronic and a lot of home made or 'found' instruments etc). Feel free to get in touch if you think we could work together! I can send bio and credits info etc if needed and lots of examples of my work. info@harveysummers.com. Best wishes!

The darker end is the interesting end. Like Harvey above, I’m a composer and sound designer. Into all kinds of drama but the darker the better. I’m always up for collaboration. There are examples of my output at www.huw-Jones.com

Hi Sam,
Sounds super interesting, I'm a sound designer and composer based in Bristol.
I've designed sound for a few short films and worked on quite a few nature docs (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10448890/)
I'm interested in working on more dark films and especially shorts. I write mostly dark, ambient experimental music, here are some examples: https://sbmrgd.bandcamp.com/track/void-i

Feel free to get in touch on submergedtapes@gmail.com
All the best,

Hello,
I am currently looking for projects to work in. Your project seems very interesting and I would love to know about the details. I work with two other friends of mine and we usually cover the camera department in most of our projects, so if you need more people I have that option as well. We are also experienced editors and we have access to industry level gear (Arri Camera, Ronin S2, Lights, etc.).
Here is our showreel and don't hesitate in contacting us if you have questions.

Hope to hear from you soon

Hi there Sam. I am trained and mostly work as an editor, but I write and direct as well. Often in the darker side of things. My last short (For Him) started gaining some traction this year on the festival circuit, although sadly a lot of this is being put on hold now so we will have to wait to see how things pan out. Next one (BabyThump) was due to shoot next week, but we're waiting now until events pass.
If you would like to see my last short, drop me a line and I can give you the password,
and as a trained editor I'd be keen to help you with the edits of your work.
all the best

I am actually just about to post about my current project, which is a piece of magical realism called "This is not the Story I Wanted to Tell You," but I am very interested in the macabre and unusual. In fact, I have a production company devoted specifically to Occultural Production. See: https://occultural.net/
I have some expertise in the magical and mystical. And I have produced, written, directed, and edited all my ventures to date. (See, https://occultural.net/projects/ )
I will definitely be looking to collaborate with others that share these interests. :)

Hi Sam and everyone who replied, that sounds amazing. I absolutely love horror films and it's my dream to work on them, I have been kind of horror film obsessed since my childhood and it's definitely my thing.
I live in London now, close to a train station well connected so don't mind travelling and I used to study cinematography at the Art university of Bournemouth and had the chance to DP a horror film for our grad film. I would love to be able to come back down in the south of England for filming. If you are interested I can send you private link to the film.
I have been DP different projects, doing lighting and colour graded most of the projects I shot, I also wrote couple scripts as well.
Here's you can already some pictures of it and other works in addition of some of my photography work.

I would be really happy to help you in anyway I could, let me know.
