Support CIVET from MidWest WeirdFest winner Benjamin Capps

March 23, 2017

Benjamin Capps won the inaugural MidWest WeirdFest's "Best Animation" award for his stunning life-size stop-motion animation in IT GROWS DARK.  Now Benjamin is gearing up to make the sequel: CIVET.

Check out the film's Indiegogo page (where you can also watch IT GROWS DARK online for a limited time) and get involved here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/civet-horror#/

A message from Benjamin: "CIVET is the sequel to my award winning, retro science fiction/horror short film, It Grows Dark. It is the next chapter in the nefarious life of Deke Lape and continues an exploration of the interrelationship between technology and the occult. Both films are innovating in that they combine live action with life size, stop-motion animation puppetry. CIVET will be shot in the summer of 2017 and we are excited to have you be a part of bringing another film from The Inner Below to life."
