VHS Horror Returns: Director Goes Analog
6 Apr
Summary
- Director James Cullen Bressack returns to horror.
- The film 'I Have Proof' is shot entirely on VHS-C.
- The production prioritizes analog texture and imperfection.
Filmmaker James Cullen Bressack is making a deliberate return to the horror genre with his upcoming feature, 'I Have Proof.' This project marks a significant departure from his recent action films, as Bressack intends to shoot the entire movie using VHS-C tapes. This artistic decision is driven by a desire to capture the raw texture, imperfection, and immediacy of analog media.
Bressack stated that the film will explore a deteriorating sense of reality, favoring a back-to-basics approach that he feels AI cannot replicate. He sourced approximately 30 VHS tapes from eBay, intending to record over old home movies. This analog focus is a response to audience appreciation for his earlier, grungier horror work.
Larsen Deane and Lilly Van Der Meer are set to star in 'I Have Proof,' with supporting roles played by Kelly Lynn Reiter and B.J. Hendricks. Production is scheduled to commence in Los Angeles later this month. Bressack is producing the film under his Sandaled Kid Productions banner.
