Make the Morrow Road Movie!

Morrow Road has been a journey for the filmmakers behind its intimidating challenge from its inception. After various business model considerations, we believe we have the perfect fit! This smaller budget model, as it turns out, has other advantages too--including opening the doors to community support!

The film's creator Francis J Sampier has had the tenacity to continue pushing the project forward in the right direction. He's also protected the film from being produced by methods that threaten quality. Francis has maintained and will continue to maintain the project's integrity and will not be intimidated by the 'Hollywood' cookie-cutter method.

The Morrow Road film has all the needed ingredients of the horror and mystery genres but doesn't stop there: Morrow Road has much more depth than similar film types. It spans into the mystery genre by incorporating all ten real-life theories of what happened to the mother and child who disappeared in 1893. The film's dark psychological side will stir the viewer's minds long after the end credits scroll thanks to the message behind the film, propelling Morrow Road to soar above basic horror elements.

However, these story-writing factors come with a cost: A higher budget than a basic horror film. About 20% of the film takes place in the late 1800s. Even the film's opening is set in 1957. Period piece films are pricier to pull off. Good news: Morrow Road's script utilizes these historic scenes efficiently. All other quality business models we explored place this film's budget in the seven-digit realm, but we have cautiously figured out a method that gets the movie into the budget-friendlier six-digit figure--without sacrificing the film's needed storytelling quality.
