Director Patrick Rea has been steadily dominating the short film scene in the horror department for the last five years. His quality PG-horror accomplishments are well known amongst the festival circuit, and include such award winning shorts as "Woman's Intuition", "The Thing About Bannon's Lookout", and "The Last Laugh" among others - many of which are available through their compilation DVD - Heartland Horrors. Now, in his follow up feature film effort, Nailbiter, a mother and her three daughters find themselves caught in a Kansas tornado, and are forced to take shelter from the storm below ground. Trapped inside the cellar - they will soon discover - they are not alone!


SenoReality Pictures and Ministry Machine have just completed five weeks of production in Lawrence, Kansas. An additional 2 weeks of shooting will be shot later to complete the monster sequences and various pickups. The film stars Erin McGrane, Meg Saricks, Emily Boresow, and Sally Spurgeon. It is directed by Patrick Rea (Empty Acre), written by Kendal Sinn and Rea, and produced by Aaron Laue (Last Breath). The director of photography is Hanuman Brown-Eagle, and the photo below is courtesy of Matt Jacobson.
Rea's recent short films "Mrs. Brumett's Garden" (with a score by Harry Manfredini) and "Do Not Disturb" screened at last weekends Fright Night Film Festival, where "Brumett" won best cinematography. "Mrs. Brumett's Garden" and "Do Not Disturb" will also screen at the Estes Park Film Festival on September 19th. If youve got a few minutes and arent familiar with Patrick Rea's work, you can check out "Do Not Disturb" in its entirety right now..
