Filmmaker Jeffery Thompson, Jr., who recently send us a brief clip from a proof of concept short for his upcoming live action feature The Legend of Carrico Road (which was previously titled The Legend of the Bubbleheads), has now provided us with a four-minute animated pitch depicted the opening scene in the script.
The Legend of Carrico Road will be a slasher set in rural Missouri. The animated pitch depicts the opening scene in the script, in which two police officers are sent to investigate a possible disturbance in an area plagued by an urban legend. Thompson’s script received high praise from industry professionals, including from Tony Rosen, who worked on the visual effects for The Conjuring and Annabelle.
Thompson is once again hoping that the proof of concept short will attract enough interest to bring The Legend of Carrico Road one step closer to reality. The short, which can be viewed below, was created by Thomson via his production company Machina, which consists of his partners Dimas Seto Fijri, Raka Putra, Iqbal Ismi Naufal, Tom Connors, and Muhammad Rahmadyo Narendra.
