An unknown terror has begun to create a problem on a less traveled route. Starring Jess Tomasko & Allie McCarthy, comes this year's hottest new horror web series. Bringing back the old 1970's slasher format along side digital technology, we bring a new spin to an old genre almost abandoned by all of television. Looking to dominate the "5 minute Web Series," straight out of Minnesota, we give you:
UNWORTHY : a Web Series
A new boogeyman has arrived.
**THIS WEB SERIES IS STILL UNDER WORK. We will continue to update the project video as we improve, block and refine every scene. Some episodes may be 99% finished, others, still in the blocking stage. ** The Episodes you are watching are 100% completed.
Upon completion of this project (as well as following any/all festival guidelines) there will be three (3) episodes screened within this application format, with all three episodes contained within the one 'initial screener' video. If your festival requires different submission requirements, we will adhere to them as well. If you would like individual screeners for each episode, please contact us and we will gladly send you links to them. Upon the final deadline of your festival, we will send each episode individually, so that you may put them in positions that are in between others, if you choose.
This project is a complete season. We are shooting for a 5 x 5 format (5 episodes, 5-6 min each in length). We are in the beginning planning stages of creating a crowdfunding campaign to help us finish the first season.
Thank you all so much for giving a small group of friends an outlet for their creativity!
Proud to be 100% MN MADE.

"I wanted to make something that seemed very vintage horror. A fan of the classics like Friday the 13th, the Original Halloween. I just love the genre of horror and the thrill of a scary movie.."
