2017 SEMI-FINALIST – FEATURES
Richard Rowntree – Producer/Writer/Director
“Dogged” is my first full length feature – and has been my passion project for more than 2 years now.
I have always felt a keen affinity with the horror genre, but grew tired of seeing the same old tropes re-used, often with predictable outcomes.
With “Dogged”, I have attempted to create the kind of horror film that I want to watch – unpredictable, unsettling beyond the end of the film and believable.
My interest in the re-emerging folk horror sub genre ignited my passion for the script, and I have tried to execute it with the belief that film is, first and foremost, a visual art form.
I hope you enjoy it!
