T IS FOR TOILET!
Drafthouse Films, Magnet Pictures and Timpson Films have announced T IS FOR TOILET by Lee Hardcastle as the winner of their contest to find the “next great horror filmmaker,” which finalized the lineup of their international co-production of THE ABCs OF DEATH.
UK based Lee Hardcastle utilized claymation to tell the nightmarish tale of a frightened young boy and his first attempt using the bathroom all by himself. Watch the video below and have a blast!
“We are delighted that T IS FOR TOILET was as popular with the other directors as it was with the public,” says co-producer Ant Timpson, “and we are thrilled that Hardcastle’s work will be seen alongside modern horror’s greatest filmmakers.”
The competition was neck and neck to find the winning film with four outstanding runners-up that included in 2nd place “T is for Talk,” by Peter Haynes, 3rd place “T is for Turbo,” by François
Simard, Anouk Whissel and Yoann-Karl Whissel, 4th place “T is for Table,” by Shane Free and 5th place “T is for Termite,” by Steve Daniels. Finalists will be invited to be included in the DVD/Blu-ray release for THE ABCs OF DEATH.
Inspired by children’s educational books, the feature is comprised of 26 individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were given free reign to choose a word to represent a form of death based on their letter.
THE ABCs OF DEATH will be released through Magnet Releasing in 2012.
