The Tunnel team announces sequel and new 135K Project, Airlock
The creative team behind last year’s Australian horror film The Tunnel has announced it’s working on a new project with a similar funding model.
The Tunnel was created with the 135K Project, which tried to raise $135,000 by selling frames to the movie at a dollar a frame.
Based on the success of the scheme, the team, Distracted Media will produce a new film. Airlock is a claustrophobic science fiction film in the vein of Alien.
The team have also received funding from Screen Australia to produce a sequel to The Tunnel, called The Tunnel: Dead End.
Filmmakers Enzo Tedeschi and Julian Harvey said: “The Tunnel: Dead End is a great opportunity to take Distracted Media into a different playing field but as producers we still very much believe in the basic principles of the 135k Project. Having a more mainstream film in The Tunnel: Dead End will enable us to up the stakes significantly with “Airlock” which will hopefully raise the bar for our free internet releases and what we can put back into their success.”
Last year’s The Tunnel was released free online through bitTorrent, on subscription TV and on video on the same day, later followed by a limited theatrical release.
Also.. not only was it release theatrically in Australia… but it was released theatrically in North America and then nationally in the USA and Canada on DVD on Dec. 27.2011. Very successfully we might add! BRF
