Teaser poster for A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE. Written and directed by Chad Michael Ward Starring Flavie Ravenhill and Josh Honkanen Neal Music by BLAKMOTH Produced by UDDA Studios in association with Film i Västerbotten #filmsky #scriptsky

Got the music in for UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN in from composer Blakmoth, who is also doing music for A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE. Also got the drives for CREATURE and will start editing tomorrow. Today was a good day. #filmsky #scriptsky

That's a wrap on my latest short, A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE, starring Flavie Ravenhill and Josh Neal. Had an absolute blast making weird and erotic body horror with these two alongside my hardworking crew, who pulled off this ambitious film against all odds.

That’s a wrap on A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE! Sleep now. #filmsky #scriptsky

Heading to set for the first day on my new short, A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE. I have been up since 3am because my brain is stupid. Got to meet the actors in person for the first time over dinner last night and I'm really excited to see what they can do in front of the camera. #filmsky #scriptsky

Waiting for DESOLATION HEART festival submission acceptances (which don't come for another month) like a junkie waiting for a fix. #filmsky #scriptsky

Hollywood Stories, 2018 Burke and Dusty. 4th of July party at director Chris Cunningham's house. Die Antwoord's Ninja and Yolandi would show up later. As would Soja, who I'd marry 2 years later, though we were still only friends at the time. Many good times were had.

This week's entry has dropped! If you've ever wondered what goes into making a short film--from concept all the way through production & beyond--then this is a great jumping on point, as today is part 1 of the making of "A Strange Kind of Creature". patreon.com/chadmichaelward #filmsky #scriptsky

Production week! A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE starts filming on Friday, so it’s a mad dash to get pre-production wrapped up before we roll camera. Look for a new journal entry about it all on my Patreon later today!

What do Vampires, Faye Dunaway, Sam Raimi, and a bevy of B-List actors have in common? How I got into the film industry, how I got kicked to the curb, and how I've rebuilt since then. FREE to read (but you really should sign up and follow me!) patron.com/chadmichaelward #scriptsky #filmsky

Went and saw BACKROOMS last night. Every bit as good as I had heard it was. I've never watched a movie that so perfectly encapsulates my dreamworld. Eerie as fuck. More, please.

Hell yeah I did! @fangoria.bsky.social fangoria.com/votenow

“Henry’s Dream”, a clip from my first feature, STRANGE BLOOD, shot on a Canon 7D 13 years ago. I had no say over the final edit or color grade, but this is a fun little moment. #filmsky

Nearly 10 years ago, I went and made a 72 hour Lovecraft movie called THE STARS ARE BLACKEST AT NIGHT with a group of friends for a film festival competition. It was pure insanity. We lost to a puppet musical. #horror #filmsky

Late to the party but holy hell this was so, so good. Went in knowing nothing and…yeah. I was not prepared. Also, probably the best score/soundtrack I’ve heard in awhile. #filmsky

Dragging a film through post-production is not for the weak. It’s like spinning a dozen plates that are on fire but also you are on fire but also the world is on fire but also the fire is on fire. This is fine. (I still wouldn’t trade it for anything.) #filmsky #scriptsky

I can’t to show you what we’re cooking up. Welcome aboard Flavie!

We don’t usually see each other’s headers. Here’s mine. Quote post with yours.

FAIRY DUST isn't technically a horror movie, but...

Today is all about conceptualizing an upcoming band photoshoot, writing up notes on a client screenplay, doing color grade tests for FAIRY DUST, and writing on the FAIRY DUST behind-the-scenes photo book. My creative meter is full…but happy.

"Djinn" In the Cleveland studio with Soja, 2019. #horror #fantasy #photography #portrait

We should be able to announce our two leads for this intimate body horror short very, very soon. Incredibly excited for this film, which shoots in just over 2 months.

The official FAIRY DUST teaser trailer launches on YouTube later today, but rumor has it that if you head over to our Kickstarter page at TinyUrl.com/FairyDustKS you might get to see it early. #scriptsky #filmsky

You didn't hear it from me, but... ...if you head over to the FAIRY DUST Kickstarter page, you MIGHT get a sneak peek at a few still images from tomorrow's trailer drop. Just sayin... tinyurl.com/FairyDustKS

It’s official! The FAIRY DUST trailer will be dropping this week on Thursday! #scriptsky #filmsky

Having an absolute blast sorting through self tapes for A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE today. There is no better drug than hearing a talented actor perform a monologue you've written. #scriptsky

More writing work today on AN ABSENT GOD, my DIY post-apocalyptic horror film. Fallen angels, telepathic heroines, strange frequencies, lost cities for doomed gods, and a serial killer with a heart of gold. Shooting in-between projects over the next year or so. #scriptsky #filmsky
