Kurt Michaels - young, obsessed, from LA - has what it takes to be Hollywood’s next wunderkind A-list director. Just ask him.

Kurt is a hyperactive tidal wave of creative energy who has lived and breathed movies his whole life. He has a starving hunger to be the next Tarantino and he’s convinced that Blood Redemption, his no-budget indy feature, is his ticket to overnight success. With his best buddy and aspiring heavyweight producer Brian Slade in tow he blows his college fund on two tickets to the lost wilderness in Tasmania, Australia, to make his film Down Under.

Kurt loves the limelight so he’s preserving every thrilling moment of his audacious adventure with an ever present behind the scenes camera filmed by Camo. He has always had Shae Kristensen in mind as his lead actress.

Kurt loves horror and the film he is making, Blood Redemption, is an adaption of a journal written by his ancestor discovered in the attic when he was a child. Although predating it, the diary bears a resemblance to Heart of Darkness and Kurt’s heroic ancestor gives an account of a murderous tyrant, Edmund Smuts.

Kurt Created a Facebook Page for his film Blood Redemption
A little known fact is that Kurt had a Blood Redemption Facebook Page that went mysteriously dead.

He started it on 21st February 2013, posting his ambitions for the film, his journey to make it and a collection of images, ideas and macabre research that were whirling around his head. And dark dreams. He shared posts from other sites and interacted with them over the years until 9th September 2016 when he assumedly finally left to make his film.

It then went dead for four years.

Until an unknown person, claiming not to be Kurt began posting on the page. This person claimed to have finished Kurt's film after Kurt asked them to. And this person released what they claim is pieced together from the ashes of Kurt's shoot and released under the title The Screaming Silent so that censors would think it fiction, not reality.
