Give the stunning trailer for Blood Machines embedded at the top of the article and read more about the film below.
Early 2017, after a decade creating stunning imagery in his garage with no budget, Seth Ickerman is kicking into high gear with Blood Machines, an ambitious sci-fi project for which they raised $350K through two Kickstarter campaigns. A crowdfunding success unheard of for a French film!
Three years later – after a challenging post-production for an indie film involving more than 500 VFX shots and 7 CG companies – the film has almost completed a world festival tour of more than 40 festivals including the next edition of Bifan, Night Visions, Rojo Sangre, Morbido Fest, Toronto After Dark (4 awards !), and many US fests including Fantastic Fest, Brooklyn Horror Fest, Hawaii.
This “cosmic space opera” was produced in a unique format and will play in three 50-minute episodes on SHUDDER.
Among the cast includes Anders Heinrichsen as Vascan, Elisa Lasowski from Versailles and David Bowie’s “Blackstar” music video is Corey; Christian Erickson and Natasha Cashman take the roles of Lago and Bald.
SHUDDER, AMC Networks’ premium service for genre films and series, will release Blood Machines as a streaming exclusive in North America, the UK and Ireland on May 21st.
