Welcome to Give Me the Fear, a new Frightfest 2023 preview series hosted by screenwriter Stuart Wright.
These brief, spoiler-free interviews will – across the entire series – help you to discover the kind of knowledge and experience about how to make indie horror films that they don’t teach at film school.
After looking back at the blood, sweat and tears that went into their creative successes, I ask them one last question: If you could hand pick one person to be in the audience for your Frightfest screening, who would it be and why? I think you going to love the answers this question elicits.
This episode features A Million Days (Mitch Jenkins), The Weird Kidz (Zach Passero) & Punch (Andy Edwards).

Though famously ambivalent about film adaptations of his work — to the degree of never watching some — Alan Moore has written a screen original in “The Show,” perhaps attracted to a more hands-on approach to the medium now that he’s officially retired from comics. This playfully wayward mystery set in his native Northampton turns that burg into a kind of midlands Gotham, where not-quite-superheroic intrigue unfolds as convolutedly as possible. Fun if perhaps a little too tongue-in-cheek for its own good, the results will no doubt appeal most to Moore fans who’ll revel in his Byzantine plotting, noirish tropes and other signature elements. Fathom Events is providing them one-night U.S. theatrical access this Thursday, Aug. 26; release in other formats is as yet unannounced.
“The Show” is directed by Mitch Jenkins, a photographer who’s collaborated with the “Watchmen” scribe for 12 years, including on several shorts that introduced some of its characters and ideas.

"We've saved you the best seat in the house..." Shout Factory has released a new official US trailer for the strange, eccentric, indie film titled The Show, directed by filmmaker Mitch Jenkins. This premiered at the Sitges Film Festival last year, and we featured an early teaser trailer back then. A man's search for a stolen artifact leads him to the haunted town ("Northampton - a strange and haunted town in the heart of England as dangerous as he is") filled with Voodoo gangsters, masked adventurers, Depression-era private eyes and violent chiaroscuro women. From the mind of writer Alan Moore comes a new feature film starring Tom Burke (seen in The Souvenir), Siobhan Hewlett, Alan Moore (oh yes), Ellie Bamber, Darrell D'Silva, Richard Dillane, Christopher Fairbank, and Sheila Atim. Welcome to The Show. I'm still not sure what to make of it, and this new trailer doesn't really help much.

Amazon has set its cast for The Peripheral, its upcoming original series from Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Kilter Films. Charlotte Riley (A Christmas Carol), JJ Feild (Lost in Space), Adelind Horan (The Deuce), T’Nia Miller (The Haunting of Bly Manor) and Alex Hernandez (Bloodshot) have been cast as leads opposite Chloë Grace Moretz and Jack Reynor in the sci-fi thriller drama, based on the bestselling novel by William Gibson.
Created by Scott B. Smith, The Peripheral is described as a dazzling, hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of mankind — and what lies beyond.
The book centers on Flynne (Moretz) and her brother Burton (Reynor). In the novel, Burton, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps’ elite Haptic Recon force, is hired for a security job which takes place in what he thinks is cyberspace. When Flynne temporarily takes his place, she witnesses something that might have been murder.

Shout! Studios has secured all distribution rights in North America from Protagonist Pictures to “The Show,” the mystery fantasy feature film written by Alan Moore, the creator of iconic comic-books such as “Watchmen,” “V for Vendetta,” “From Hell” and “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” “The Show,” directed by Mitch Jenkins, will be launched across all major platforms later this year.
Tom Burke stars in the film, alongside Siobhan Hewlett, Ellie Bamber, Sheila Atim, Christopher Fairbank and Moore himself.
The pic centers on Fletcher Dennis (Burke), a man of many talents, passports and identities, who arrives in Northampton – a strange and haunted town in the heart of England as dangerous as he is. On a mission to locate a stolen artefact for his menacing client, Fletcher finds himself entangled in a twilight world populated with vampires, sleeping beauties, voodoo gangsters, noir private eyes, and masked avengers.

A man of many faces searches for an artifact stolen from a wealthy benefactor. His search leads him to the haunted town of Northampton. It is a town occupied by Voodoo gangsters, masked adventurers, Noir-era private dicks and a violent chiaroscuro woman. This is just what you can see on the surface, for some things lurk in your peripheral, in your dreams, outside of reality. The Show is part occult noir, part gothic fantasy-mystery written by celebrated author Alan Moore and directed by his collaborator, award-winning photographer Mitch Jenkins. It takes place in Moore's hometown of Northampton, as have other projects that Moore has written in his illustrious career. While his comics have been adpated to film this is Moore's first feature film screenplay. ...

Comic creator Alan Moore is no stranger to having his work adapted for the screen, but it’s only recently that the revered artist has started making his own films. Today, we bring you his latest. Moore has teamed up with photographer Mitch Jenkins to release his second short – a dark little tale entitled Jimmy’s End. If you love Moore’s work, and eerie tales, you’ll certainly want to set aside 32 minutes to check this out. The follow-up to Act of Faith is a mesmerizing creation – beautifully shot and crafted – but we’re not surprised, given Moore’s other works. Here’s the synopsis of the film for those of you who are curious: We’ve all been there: in the lapses after midnight, stumbling down unfamiliar...

Cult comic book writer Alan Moore, best known for "Watchmen" and "V for Vendetta," has just debuted the first film he has scripted, a 30-minute short called "Jimmy's End." Like a lost fantasy sequence from "Twin Peaks," "Jimmy's End" sees James/Jimmy (Darrell D'Silva) explore a fantastic afterlife of burlesque dancers and thugs. The film, directed by Mitch Jenkins, features music by Andy Broder (Fog), Adam Drucker (doseone) and Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio). Several of Moore's works have been made into films; "V for Vendetta," "Watchmen," "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman" and "From Hell" are all based on Moore's work, though he has what can generously be described as a complicated relationship with the adaptations and has publicly distanced himself from them. The film is a part of Vice Magazine's Motherload.tv YouTube channel. Check it out...

It's well documented that Alan Moore has little or no time for any of the Hollywood movies that have been adapted from his iconic graphic novels, from V for Vendetta and Watchmen all the way through to Stephen Norrington's 2003 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. While anyone who has watched the last film may sympathise with the Northampton-based writer, Moore has often seemed deliberately reactionary when it comes to other people's appropriation of his work. Zack Snyder's bravura 2009 take on Watchmen, in particular, grips limpet-like to Moore's original style and narrative, yet received the same scorn as its siblings.

Alan Moore is the Rasputin-like madman behind some of the comic industry’s most critically acclaimed graphic novels. Many of them have been adapted into feature films, and without fail Moore has condemned them as bastardizations of his creations. From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, V for Vendetta, Watchmen…all shite movies according to the man. (Granted, he was right on one of those occasions.) So how do you combat an industry that continually messes with your work? By eliminating the middle man and making the films yourself of course. To that end Moore has joined forces with Mitch Jenkins to create a series of short films. Moore writes them, Jenkins films them, and presumably everybody’s happy in the end. The first of their collaborations is called Jimmy’s End and will be hitting the web at the end of the month. Check out the first teaser below. Moore...

Alan Moore is, to put it gently, a little bit cranky. The famed graphic novelist has been very outspoken in his displeasure towards the screen adaptations of his written words over the years and so, unhappy with seeing other people's versions of his work on the screen, Moore has teamed up with his long time friend Mitch Jenkins to create a series of new short films all written by Moore specifically for the screen.One of these is Jimmy's End, a film described as occult and noir-flecked, and the first teaser has arrived to back that up. Will Moore's imagery have the same impact on the screen as it does on the page? Check the teaser below to see for yourself....

Perhaps from frustration over the cinematic adaptations of his comic work with Watchmen and V for Vendetta, Alan Moore is planning a film project that is sure to feature the writer’s own noir and occult sensibilities. Empire reports that the Moore has written two short films for a series titled “Show Pieces”. Act of Faith, the title of one of Moore’s short films, has already been filmed in London starring Torchwood‘s Siobhan Hewlett. The second film, titled Jimmy’s End, is planned to shoot in Moore’s hometown of Northhampton, U.K. Photographer Mitch Jenkins is directing both films....

His antipathy towards other people's movie versions of his own work is legendary, so perhaps that's the reason why Alan Moore is planning a film project of his own. He's written the first two instalments in a planned series of shorts called Show Pieces, to be directed by photographer Mitch Jenkins.The first two "occult, noir-flecked" films in the "multi-layered, multi-episode narrative" are Act Of Faith and Jimmy's End. The former has already been filmed in London, and stars Siobhan Hewlett (Torchwood, Sherlock). The latter will shoot in Moore's native Northampton later in the year.Moore, if you're somehow not aware, is the guru responsible for heavyweight comics masterworks like Watchmen, V For Vendetta and From Hell (and more recently Lost Girls, the Lovecraftian Neonomicon and the ongoing League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, among many other indie projects). He's widely held to be one of the most culturally and historically significant comics writers of all time.

The comic book creator is to team up with director Mitch Jenkins to work on a series of 'occult, noir flecked' short films
Next to Philip K Dick, Alan Moore may just be Hollywood's favourite ideas man. And yet unlike the iconic science fiction writer, who at least gave his blessing to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner not long prior to his death in 1982, Moore has turned his nose up at every one of the blockbuster projects adapted from his comic books. V For Vendetta, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and From Hell were all given short shrift by the British writer, apparently because no one asked his advice on how to film them.
Even Zack Snyder's faithful take on Watchmen – perhaps Moore's most brilliant work – was dismissed out of hand. But if you've ever wondered quite what a movie made with Moore's full cooperation might look like, now's your chance.

Alan Moore hates Hollywood. But that apparently hasn't turned him off from the movie-making process completely. In fact, he and longtime friend Mitch Jenkins are reportedly working on a new film series called "Show Pieces" that is being made without any sort of studio interference.
The project is being described as as a "multi-layered, multi-episode narrative created by Moore and brought to life by Jenkins," Twitch reports. The first episode of the indie, called "Act of Faith," has already been filmed, and the next will be shot later this summer in Northampton. So it seems like Moore's aversion is less with making films and more with the Hollywood system.
But don't expect "Show Pieces" to hit a theater near you any time soon. Moore and Jenkins are planning to have the first two episodes of "Show Pieces" ready by October so they can debut them at The Creator's Project in New York.

The first episode, titled Act of Faith, has already been shot, and the second, Jimmy's End, is due to be shot later this summer.
