Full cast and crew

Bloody Cuts 4th film is a tale of grief, strength and the undead. Prosthetics maestro Neill Gorton makes his directorial debut with Sarah Winter in the lead role and a whole host of zombies created by the Millennium FX team.

Neill Gorton is a filmmaker that has worked with some of the very best talent in the world, so when he expressed interest in directing and writing one of our episodes we knew we were going to end up with something special. For Neill it was officially his directing debut, and for the rest of the team it was a chance for us to delve into a genre we all knew and loved, but with a quite killer twist in tale.

We only auditioned one actress for the lead, and that was the excellent Sarah Winter, whose brilliant audition perfectly captured the character. Casting didn't end there however, as we still needed to find 30 extras for our closing shots. Fortunately we managed to pull a number of local amateur actors in, as well as friends and family, who were all treated to an extensive makeup job courtesy of Millennium FX.

The shoot itself ran brilliantly to time, largely thanks to a well considered schedule from new team member Freddie Smith, as well as Neill's excellent and concise Direction. The combination of Chris Goodman and Natalie Barrett in the Art Department also captured the setting perfectly, best demonstrated by the kitchen scene, complete with boarded windows and rations of food. Talking of food, our catering team had their work cut out, feeding the masses in what was our biggest shoot yet with over 60 cast and crew members.

The Post Production was quite seamless; "Mother Died" was edited and finished in Final Cut X, with VFX built in After Effects.

Trivia: After only 2 hours of the film being online, the team received a surprise email from Stephen Fry, who kindly donated a generous amount of money towards our series.
