Winner for best Supernatural Feature Film - "The Dead Inside"


This is the second win at Shriekfest for the Drexel Box crew, picking up the Audience Choice Award two years ago with the demon love story, LO.

Where he got the idea -  One strange night whilst sleeping soundly in bed next to my lover/cinematographer, Shannon Hourigan, I was aroused from my slumber by the most wicked of noises. It was moaning. Not sexy moaning (that would have been awesome), but rather the creepy kind where angels shudder in fear. I rolled over to find Shannon the source of this terrible sound. Shannon breath in…demon breath out. I had never heard anything quite like it and it was chilling. I’m not a man who actually believes in possession, but at that moment I found myself wanting to give it consideration. Shannon did this for a week straight. It got to the point that I had to sleep on the couch because it was not only keeping me up but it was freaking my shit out. I’m sure many of you are thinking it was simple snoring and I need to man up. WELL, YOU WEREN’T THERE! This was certainly not snoring, as it was on the exhale.

Travis on "The dead Inside" - We put together a skeleton crew and grabbed hold of some awesome talent and started shooting something that I consider to be very unique as well as funny, sad and twisted. I’m not going to sit here and lie to you…this movie rocks. I’m bursting at the seams for you to see it, and if my seams burst then everyone will see that I’m the Devil. This is because I am currently wearing the skin of a man I tricked ages ago. His name was Travis. He’s the perfect cover.

We talked about the short film and even Kylies near obsession of anything Joss Whedon Creator of Buffy the vampire slayer, Firefly, and the director of nest summers Avengers. I must admit that Rogee is smitten with the Aussie Producer and both of us were impressed with the level of talent that Phillip brings to the table as a new film maker.
