What can be said about Shawn hunt that
hasn’t already been said? Well…everything, since nothing’s
ever been really said about him (aside from remarks about his enormous noggin!).
After making numerous backyard productions with family and friends over
the years, Shawn Hunt decided to step into the Independent B Movie arena
in 2002 by creating Funhouse Pictures. Growing up, Hunt was heavily influenced
by filmmakers like John Carpenter and George Romero, and their reputations
of working outside the system to create their own brand of horror. His goal
for the company was to make horror films that actually set out to scare
their audiences, unlike so many studio (or independent) films of today.
Enlisting the aid of his close friends David and Michael Passine, Marc Fenneuff
and his wife Karen, Funhouse Pictures was born.
In 2004, Hunt found a like mind (as well as a new friend) in the industry
in Tony Urban, who invited Hunt and Funhouse Pictures to become a part
of his fast growing Crazy Ralph Films. Hunt wrote and directed the horror
short “Midnight Snack”, before coming aboard as Executive
Producer on Urban’s , “Hunting Season”. He is currently
gearing up to direct another short film entitled “A Spider Beside
Her”, as well as producing the Tim Ritter penned short film, “The
Burn”, both to go before cameras in October. Throughout all of it,
Hunt is preparing to direct his first feature length film, “The
Shrieking”, a Bigfoot thriller written by him, which stars Splat
Pack members Kelly Ray, Nathan Faudree, Anna Bridgforth, Logan Hunter
and Christopher John. “The Shrieking”, which begins shooting
in March 2005, is being produced by Tony Urban. |
