Stars: Michael Dacre, Steve Garry | Written and Directed by Leigh Covey
El Mariachi has a lot to answer for. As does Clerks. Both were made in the early ‘90s on incredibly low budgets ($9,000 and $30,000 respectively; Clerks filmmaker Kevin Smith famously maxed out all of his credit cards to finance the film) and achieved previously unheard-of success from new directors, as supposedly ‘independent’ film budgets of that era – like those of Reservoir Dogs and Sex, Lies and Videotape – came in at around the $1million mark. This helped to kick-start guerrilla movements and independent movies proper, and surely had some impact on bringing us to our crowdfunded present, where dead TV shows can be resurrected by the cash of fans and a boatload of promises. It also sent an unfortunate if optimistic message to the general populace of the world:
We made a feature film without any money. Why don’t you?...

Described as Memento meets Wolf Creek , here comes The Fallow Field from British writer-director Leigh Dovey. Prior to this feature, Dovey only penned the short film Crush , so Field is the filmmakers feature debut on the genre scene. The pic is currently looking for distribution, however, we have a synopsis and trailer to share. Amnesiac Matt Sadler awakes alone in the middle of a wilderness with no recollection of the past seen days. Again. He finds his way home to discover a life rapidly falling apart: his wife is convinced he's hiding an affair, the police are suspicious of his repeated disappearances and now he is plagued by terrifying nightmares when he closes his eyes.
