I Curse This Land will be Jackson Batchelors 2nd feature film after his critically acclaimed monster satire Monstrous Disunion.

Synopsis: In a sleepy coastal village a curse lies waiting. Legend has it one night centuries ago when a smuggler was delivering his illicit wares, the excise men pounced. One of the villagers had betrayed him. The smuggler was caught and quickly hanged as an example but, his widow was more than she seemed, the practitioner of an ancient religion of magic and sorcery. The villagers formed a mob to hunt her down as a witch, they brutalised her, tarred and feathered her, but before they could kill her she put one last curse upon the land; that nothing should flourish, no life or love, before taking her own life and spilling her blood upon the land.

I Curse This Land is set to be their most ambitious project yet and a goal of £11,000 to truly give the budget justice. This will contribute to paying the dedicated crew, allow them to embrace the occult aesthetic in creating the look for their witchy monster and allow them to recreate Selseys past and present. This is also their highest budget and they are confident from the previous successes that they can move forward with bigger ideas!

They are looking to shoot the film across one week in late July and one week in August in Selsey United Kingdom. This is to allow for flexibility with our cast and crew and to ensure the production will be complete across those two weeks at our selected locations.
