WORCESTER – Contributions from a crowdfunding campaign, a local business owner, and four local production companies have made a new local short horror film, “Shift,” possible.
HollyWoot Film Group provided This Week in Worcester with the first access to the trailer for the film:
Rutland filmmaker Bridgette Cannell directed the film. The four local production companies that supported the film are Over the Bridge Productions, Dead of Winter Entertainment, Magenta Manor Productions and HollyWooot Film Group. John Keough, the president of HollyWoot Film Group, was also a producer of the film.
(Disclosure: Keough is a contributor to This Week in Worcester and also executive producer of Manny Jae Media.)
Local business owner Bill Shea of The Ruptured Duck also supported the film. The remainder of costs were raised on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo.
All crew that supported production of the film are all New England residents. Filming took place over two days at a cabin at the Treasure Valley Scout Reservation in Rutland.
