SAN FRANCISCO, July 7th, 2011. Northern California based production company, Emerging Artist Productions, LLC, has launched the development of the feature film, ‘Dark Harvest‘, to be shot in San Francisco Bay Area and slated as a 2012 release. The announcement was made by the film’s producer/director Sinohui Hinojosa, co-founder of Emerging Artist Productions at their Santa Clara based studio.
“The film tells the story of an unlikely hero, the son of a farmer who discovers an evil presence that threatens his family and the small rural community where he lives…”, said Hinojosa, “…harkening back to the “creature-features” that I grew up watching, this film is a testament to independent filmmaking and the ability to produce high quality content, right here in the Bay Area.”
Supported by the EAP co-founders, Bernard Fok and Joel H. Hinojosa as co-producers, Bay Area entrepreneur Bill Hargreaves as executive producer and NorCal Red CEO, MacKenzie Smith as associate producer, this film will be shot on the latest digital cinema technology. The RED One MX Camera is the same camera used on the Social Network, and the most recent 3D Pirates of the Caribbean film. ‘Dark Harvest‘ will be shot by EAP’s own director of photography, L.T. Chang.
Hinojosa has been a creative force in his community mentoring film students young and old alike, with his support of San Jose State University’s film program, and his own digital filmmaking group that teaches the latest in digital cinema techniques. This latest production aims to put all of the “pieces of the puzzle” together to create one terrifying masterpiece.
With the perpetual appeal of the horror film genre and the successful release of films such as, Insidious and Paranormal Activity (which went on to make over $87 million worldwide, on a budget of under $1.5 million and over $107 million from a budget of $15,000, respectively), make this the perfect moment to bring this intense & character driven script to the screen. ‘Dark Harvest‘ is positioned as a limited theatrical release, on various cable outlets, a DVD and BluRay, plus as digital downloads through companies like Netflix and Hulu.
