Oliver Franklin Anderson is a local Los Angeles filmmaker and purveyor of digitized motion. Oliver's last film, Hollow, earned himself entry into notable film festivals, such as the Slamdance Film Festival, and additional accolades.
Oliver's latest project consists of a web based collective of horror shorts titled The Night Country: Stories of Sleep Paralysis. The series as a whole is inspired by hallucinations experienced during sleep paralysis. In Oliver's words: "While The Night Country is a series as a whole, the individual episodes are designed to stand alone as highly unique, short horror films". Additionally, he describes sleep paralysis as, "a glitch in the natural flow between sleep stages, causing dreams to blur into reality. Sleep paralysis is never a pleasant experience, causing terror in those experiencing it and vividly unsettling, if not terrifying hallucinations."
The first film in the series is named A Study In Blue and debuts Shelby Slayton as the actress. Shelby Slayton happens to be one of the "Slay" elements in Slayzinger Creative. Along with Oliver Franklin Anderson directing, the creative team consists of Robert Allaire composing music and Frank L. Anderson as sound designer. The film consists of the creative nature inspired eeriness and dark, high contrast filtering that is synonymous with Oliver's film styling. Below is A Study In Blue.
In order to create and produce the subsequent episodes of the The Night Country series, Oliver has put together a Kickstarter campaign for funding assistance. Consider donating to the production of a visually stunning and truly unique web series.
