From 1110 Productions, newly formed in Rochester, NY, comes a new twist on the invasive species genre. ‘Seed to Son’ is a short horror film revolving around a son visiting his estranged father. As awkward as it is, things will turn for the worse when the strange plant in their neighbor’s yard blooms. It will be the bonding moment of their lives!
Inspired by the creepiness of ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ and the nightmarish ‘Alien’, ‘Seed to Son’ aims to expand on the possibilities of how dangerous a plant from another world can be. To bring to life the dangers of this alien, the creature and effects will be made by hand with minimal CGI involved. Already in production, the filmmakers have begun a Kickstarter campaign to help finish the creature effects they have planned. A teaser can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/m3a1v9IkdBQ
The first screening is planned for the end of 2013. Further information can be found at the campaign site: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/835395594/seed-to-son
