10 years ago I made the first short for £200. Tried the feature in 2019. Failed. Tried again in 2022. Fell apart. Now it’s 2026. I’m going again. Unpaid. Expenses covered. UK horror actors DM me. Some stories don’t stay buried. #CastingCall #UKActors #IndieHorror

First poster for Viral 2! Inspired by the Zodiac, taking a new direction. Had a great time filming the first one, so can’t wait to start this journey. Still can’t believe Viral (made for under £500) is now up for Best Screenplay, Director, Feature & Best Horror finalist!
