Nigel Thorne and the crew of the internet series “Hunting the
               Unknown” usually fake their encounters with mythological
               creatures and the paranormal. While filming an episode about
               Bigfoot, they make their first real discovery: a feral woman
               living wild in the forest.

               After capturing Jane Doe and learning that she was recently
               pregnant, Nigel vows to find “Big Papa” and leads the crew
               deeper into the forest. He finds more than he bargained for.
               The “Hunting the Unknown” crew are soon fighting for
               survival against Jane’s family of feral cannibals and the
               sickness that has infected one of their own.

BLOODWOOD is the first horror feature
                                   from director Joshua Siegel. The movie was
                                   produced in Northern California on a limited
                                   budget, with a small but versatile cast and
                                   crew. In post-production, it received support
                                   from artists and fans across the world, from
                                   Costa Rica to New Zealand.

                                   Inspired by documentaries about large
                                   predators, Siegel decided to make a fun
                                   horror movie about the world’s deadliest
                                   predator: man. “I wanted our villains to have
                                   more personality than the average zombie or
                                   mutant cannibal. Every ‘Feral’ has unique
                                   quirks and animal inspired behavior.
                                   They’re not mindless killers. They’re a pack
                                   of hunters following their primal instincts.”

Joshua Siegel
                                     Writer | Producer | Director

                                     An only child born in Arizona and raised in Kentucky,
                                     Joshua has been acting since an early age in theater and
                                     television. Growing up, his passion for creative story-
                                     telling was further explored by creating art, fiction, role-
                                     playing games, and comic books.

                                     Joshua is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art &
                                     Design where he studied illustration and film/video.
                                     He has since worked on both sides of the camera:
                                     acting, writing, and directing projects for Arcadian
                                     Entertainment and companies across the globe. He is
                                     currently developing a sci-fi project called “Dream
                                     Raiders”.

Director’s Statement
After making several short films, I decided that my first feature should be a low budget horror
written around locations that were easily accessible. The story of “Bloodwood” came from watch-
ing documentaries about apes, grizzlies, and other apex predators. About the same time, reality
TV series about “monster hunters” became popular and I wondered what would happen if such a
group happened upon something real and just as terrifying as any monster... people. More specifi-
cally, people who had lost their humanity to a sickness that exposed their most primal, violent
nature.

“Bloodwood” draws inspiration from many of my favorite films, from “Predator” to “The Hills
Have Eyes”. I tried to make it stand out from other survival horror movies with a dose of zany
humor, enough to give the audience moments to laugh without taking them out of the story.
Casting was critical. Because the lead actors were playing a documentary film crew, I looked for
people with experience on both sides of the camera. Almost everyone had multiple duties on set
and pitched in wherever help was needed.

Most of us had regular jobs, so we filmed mostly Friday through Sunday at locations that were
dramatic but easily accessible. Some would argue with my definition of “easily accessible”, as
several locations required up to ninety minutes hiking in and out. I think it was worth it. The
scenery of “Bloodwood” is breathtaking, and I hope our beautiful locations will draw more film-
makers to Northern California.

Making “Bloodwood” was a dream come true. The experience honed my storytelling skills and
introduced me to many creative people who have become close friends. I hope our audience will
have as much fun watching “Bloodwood” as we had making it.
