There are a great number of talented people working in the world of independent filmmaking today, and writer / director Gary King is one of them. I had the pleasure of reviewing his last film How Do You Write A Joe Schermann Song and subsequently speaking with both him and star / producer Christina Rose.
King's new film Unnerved has been made on a very low budget with a crew of only five people. He has reteamed with actor Mark DiConzo (whose performance in Joe Schermann Song impressed me greatly), and the rest of the small cast includes newcomer Katie Morrison and Elena Sanz (Radio London Movie).
Consumed by grief after the bizarre death of their young son, Mallory and Frank find their marriage on the verge of collapse. Attempting to escape the supernatural events following them, they flee to a remote lake house only to discover the mysterious entity that took their child is still very much a part of their lives. Desperate to find answers, they enlist the help of a reclusive clairvoyant with a secret past. As the relentless haunting grows in power, what they discover will not be the answer they were hoping for.
Unnerved is scheduled to play in film festivals this fall with a full release planned for 2015. It is currently in post-production, and King and his team are seeking funds for music, sound design and finishing costs. You can support them through Kickstarter.
