About Us
   

Revolt Films has based their philosophy on Roger Corman, the Californian based film maker that was responsible for a conveyor belt of cheap, fun 'Schlockers'. But what Corman did was give the films to young, hungry filmmakers that couldn't get the break to make feature films anywhere else. A great audience base guaranteed that these films would get released thus giving these young directors / producers / writers and actors their first foot on the ladder of being taken seriously.

Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, James Cameron, Oliver Stone, Jonathan Demme, Joe Dante, Jack Nicholson, to name but a few that 'graduated' from Corman's company bucked the trends that were dragging Hollywood down in the late 60s and early 70s and helped establish a fresh new film industry that audiences responded to in their droves!

So could the same thing happen here? If Revolt Films is successful, why not?

Asylum Night is the pilot project and sets the tone for what is to follow. It is also a testament to Revolt Films's philosophy that if you have the determination and the talent, then you have no excuse! Limited to a budget of just £15,000 it is remarkable what has been achieved in this story of an Asylum for the criminally insane being over run by blood sucking vampires.

Guerrilla film making with a commercial sensibility. Think of what could be achieved with a proper budget!

The team behind Revolt Films consist of three individuals, the oldest member of which is just 30! They solely raised the finance to produce, market and distribute the film in the UK and sell on the rights World Wide. Even with the team holding down other jobs to help support the venture, the film was completed and premiered just 5 months after the money was raised!

Their intention is to attack all aspects of the film industry with gusto and enthusiasm from a creative and business level.

The distribution arm will also be looking to acquire other feature films for the UK market.

The DVD has been produced with new and wanna be filmmakers in mind with a host of extras including an insightful documentary revealing how the film was made.
