Terry Wickham (Hair of the Dog, Evil Streets) is teaming up with producer Thaddeus Byrd (Father Rock) to create a found footage anthology film titled Devil’s Five.
Devil’s Five is about an ancient evil that unleashes a deadly computer virus, hellbent on destroying humanity. Starring Primal Fear’s vocalist Ralf Scheepers in his first leading role and co-starring Benedictum’s vocalist Veronica Freeman, the film is composed of five twenty-minute movies, each directed by a different filmmaker, to create one cohesive movie.
Wickham contacted long-time friend Byrd with the idea of teaming up and co-producing the found footage anthology together. They decided to divide the movie into five segments, giving creative freedom to different directors, with the stipulations that the segment had to be found footage in nature and the storyline had to deal with the devil in some manner.
Wickham has directed numerous short films, including Washington Road and Hair of the Dog, the former of which was selected as the grand prize winner of the International Three-Minute Chillers Contest. Wickham has two feature films to his credit as director, Out of Touch and the horror anthology Evil Streets, to which Wickham contributed two episodes, “The Downfall of Johnny Garrett” and “Stalk.”
Byrd directed his first feature, Father Rock, at the age of 19. The movie developed a cult following, mainly through the help of the inclusion of legendary Seattle band Alice in Chains and a speaking role by the late singer Layne Staley. Byrd soon began directing and producing music videos and eventually went back to film school to become a cinematographer.
Directors George Brianka and Edwin M. Figueroa will be teaming up with Wickham and Byrd, each director contributing their own segments. Tim Clark (Hair of the Dog) also contributed the script for Stash, which Wickham has already directed and is currently in post-production.
The completion date of Devil’s Five is set for sometime in the fall of 2015.
