Neurodivergent Horror: Apocalypse Get New Jobs
6 Sep
Summary
- A horror mockumentary is being made by neurodivergent filmmakers.
- The film features the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse seeking jobs.
- Filmmakers aim to create a safe, accessible production environment.
A horror mockumentary titled "The Four Horsemen of Muckenthwaite" is in development, spearheaded by filmmakers who identify as neurodivergent. The script, already a recipient of 17 international awards, reimagines the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as characters who have been dismissed from the underworld and must find employment in northern England.
This project is driven by a desire to spotlight neurodivergent experiences, with co-writer Jay Sillence, who was diagnosed with autism and ADHD last year at 43, hoping the film will inspire others. Producer Gemma Brown, also neurodivergent, emphasizes the commitment to making the production a secure and accessible space for everyone involved.
Filmmakers are actively seeking funding to ensure high production values, including quality actors and special effects. The initiative also focuses on providing paid opportunities for creatives, particularly those from the North of England, aiming to showcase talent and challenge perceptions of underrepresented individuals in the arts.
