“Bounty Films have stepped in and taken our little film under their wing and are rightfully doing the movie the justice it deserves,” Millerd said.
“After a long process getting it made and a struggle to get a suitable distributor we have finally reached a point where we can showcase this film to a wider audience.
“It has been a long time coming but now we can show off our niche genre piece to horror and monster fans across most of the world,” Millerd said.
The B-Grade found footage horror comedy film centres around two men and two girls they meet at the local pub on New Year’s Eve in outback Australia before they all venture into the Pilliga Forest to see an old hermit when chaos ensues.
“In Australia we call Bigfoot a Yowie and the Pilliga Yowie is as infamous here as the New Jersey Devil, Mothman or Ozark Howler that reside in the US,” Millerd said.
“Unlike the US though, about 85% of Australian’s live on 15% of the land so there is a lot of the country that hasn’t been seen by the white man.
“So the legends such as Pilliga Yowie live on unabated.” Millerd said.
Starring Brendan Byrne (Wyrmwood) and Rebecca Callander (from the band Rackett), the movie was filmed between 2011-2014 on a shoe-string budget in the Pilliga State Forest to ensure authenticity.
The film is now on OzFlix at https://www.ozflix.tv/#!/pos and Amazon Prime Australia.
A future project on the horizon for Dane is ‘Are You Scared Yet?’, to be shot in the US with horror icon Bill Moseley and The Legend of Ben Hall star Lauren Grimson.
