DEEP CLEAN
Halflife Films

Project Background

Deep Clean is a live action supernatural horror short, an exciting partnership between comic artist and filmmaker. Created by Matt Harlock (American The Bill Hicks Story, Ink Cocks & Rock’n’Roll) and Krent Able (writer, graphic artist and visual storyteller), Deep Clean is a truly original horror, set in a unique world.

 

Deep Clean slowly peels back a naturalistic set up to reveal just what lies beneath our everyday world.

This project was funded by Genera Films & Kickstarter.

As Co-Producer and Production Manager, I managed all elements of the production post-funding.

16 year old Alex is a troubled kid, excluded from school for fighting and for his weird drawings, evidence to some of a disturbed mind. To keep him out of juvenile detention, he is forced into doing a boring work placement with his loser Uncle Brian who works for the council.  

What he doesn’t know is that Deep Clean is a secret council unit whose job is blocking up demon portals.
