About 'Human Residue'
About
Shot on micro-budget digital HD technology, Human Residue is a feature length atmospheric thriller blending intrigue, action and a cinematic atmosphere. The cast and crew are all volunteers collaborating for the love of movie making rather than for profit. The aim is to push the production values of micro-budget film making (the film was shot for less than seven thousand pounds) with a high concept and a unique atmosphere whist showcasing upcoming talent.
Production began in mid 2005 when director Chris Bouchard began developing the concepts for the post apocalyptic world in Human Residue. The concept trailers were shot during the summer of 2006 to visualise the atmosphere and style of the film, and to test the quality of production achievable on a micro-budget! The trailers depict some atmospheric locations available in York and showcase local and international artists. To date more than 100 enthusiastic collaborators from as far as Hong Kong and Mexico have contributed to the Human Residue production.
Open Distribution
