Our First Indie Horror Filmaker Showcase Michael Gale Butt

Greetings Faithful Followers,

I have worked with many indie horror film makers over the years, some good some not so good but what all these filmmakers have in common is they each have a vision and a passion about how a horror film should be made.The Subject of out first indie horror producer showcase Michel Gale Butt is no exception. This Wisconsin based filmmaker has brought us titles such as Vampire ticks form outer space, The Man with the golden hand, This Book is cursed, These Woods are cursed and other memorable titles.

Michael when asked about got him into the indie horror game he states that as a young man growing up in Wisconsin his love of acting and Classic Monster movies, this love followed him through college and using the knowledge acquired in college he set out on the indie horror path. His first subjects of early films was yetis but Then made his first notable film Vampire Ticks from outer space, to be followed by The Man with the Golden Hand and This Woods is Cursed.

 Michael owes much of his earlier inspirations to Ben Blegen whom he met in college who did a film called Dawn In Beautiful Loathing, Michael starred in that film. Later he asked Blegen if he could do a comedy version of that film called My Neighbor is dating a serial killer Blegen Agreed Michael Butt got the producing bug from that point . Michael's horror inspirations came from the movie Planet Terror. Butt sites the work of Robert Rodregez seeing his work in Planet Terror and describing it as "masterpiece" and wanting to make similar movies so very badly but also went on to collect older works of John Carpenter and Sam Raimi.
When asked what inspired him about Planet Terror and the Grind-house era of the 70's and early 80,s Butt said it was the excitement and the practical effects elaborating the lack of cgi effects and the reliance on old school sfx for the excitement and visceral thrills this genre of movies produce.

When asked about his costars of the various films he states that one actress in particular has been with him trough all of  his film That is Crystalynn Oldenburg, either as a costar or in a cameo role.
As  a filmmaker myself it is good to have a core of goto actors and actresses you can depend on to provide talent for your projects.

To end this i asked Michael about where he saw his work heading in the future he has this to say..
"Someday I'll find time to market them properly, or find someone who believes in them enough to invest in promoting them. Then  once I am completely funded by my films I'll be able to devote 100percent of myself to them. Then I can start competing with the big name companies... But I'm going to keep my feel my practicality and my love of storytelling over profit."
Again this comes down to passion and seeing the passion of Butt and other filmmakers the Horror genre is in good hands I think. Here is a Link to Vampire Ticks From Outer Space which you can view by going HERE
