I Have Proof, a psychological horror feature from writer-director James Cullen Bressack (Fortress, Survive the Game), will be shot entirely on vintage VHS-C videocassettes, THR has learned.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the lo-fi aesthetic is said to match the back-to-basics approach of the script, which explores a deteriorating sense of reality.
Bressack, who purchased around 30 tapes from eBay to use for the shoot, said the film will favor “texture, imperfection, and immediacy over polish.”
Larsen Deane and Lilly Van Der Meer star with Kelly Lynn Reiter (Slotherhouse) and B.J. Hendricks appearing in supporting roles.
“This is me going back to raw, stripped-down horror,” said Bressack. “We’re leaning fully into analog to create something AI couldn’t replicate and wouldn’t even know how to approach; something human and raw.”
Bressack produces via his Sandaled Kid Productions banner with David Josh Lawrence. Hendricks executive produces with James Rundquist of Robotic Donut.
I Have Proof will enter production in Los Angeles later this month.
