From Indiegogo.
Dead Format is the second feature-length horror film by Mike Lombardo, award-winning director of I’m Dreaming of a White Doomsday (Reel Splatter Productions) and one of the stars of the hit documentary The Brilliant Terror (Lonfall Films).
Set in the early 2000s, on the brink of the collapse of the video rental industry, Dead Format is the story of an obsessed collector desperately clinging to the past with his vast movie archive while grieving the death of his father. When he finds a mysterious tape at his local VHS rental store, he discovers that sometimes nostalgia comes at a terrible price.
Based on the fan-favorite short story of the same name from Lombardo’s collection Please Don’t Tap on the Glass and Other Tales of The Melancholy & Grotesque, the film is one of the most personal projects Mike has tackled to date. When his dad passed away several years ago, he wrote the original short story as a way of coping with the loss. The film also incorporates Mike’s childhood memories of the video store, as well as his passion for collecting movies.
Executive produced by renowned horror author Brian Keene (The Rising, Ghoul, Earthworm Gods) and co-produced by author/filmmaker Samantha Kolesnik (Waif, True Crime) & author, filmmaker, and founder of GenreBlast Film Festival, Nathan Ludwig (The Comfy Cozy Nihilist), Dead Format combines 90s nostalgia, horror & drama with a dash of Lombardo’s trademark humor and a touch of 80s slasher mayhem.
