Dunsany Productions’ post apocalyptic horror short film, ‘Out There’, received the best short film award at the Movie Days Horror Convention in Dortmund Germany during the weekend of the 22nd of March.
Among the guests who attended were Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street), WWF icon, Rowdey Roddy Piper and Caroline Williams (Hatchet 3).
‘Out There’ stars Conor Marren (True-D) and Emma Eliza Regan (The Shadows, Darkness on the Edge of Town, Love Eternal). The film follows Rob (Marren), who wakes up deep in the woods after receiving a head wound. He is tortured by violent flash backs of his girlfriend Jane (Regan) and the events leading to him being alone in the woods. Rob wanders through the deserted forests trying to find help, but soon realizes that the beautiful still countryside is far more dangerous then he could ever have imagined.
‘Out There’ was written, produced, edited and directed by award winning director Randal Plunkett (Walt, Prey, Kiss Kiss).
Other crew members on ‘Out There’ include Oliver Plunkett, who devised the original concept, co-producer Kevin Fisher, Italian cinematographer Stefano Battarola, Russian steadi-cam operator Philip Morosov and Irish focus-puller Blaine Rennicks. Irish veteran cinematographer Cainneach Mac Eoin assisted with camera operation while the score was written by award-winning composer Darius McGann.
