Bio
Latest: Kinky Mule Films is now seeking investors for their second feature film Shed, the story of a young couple who discover a kidnap victim in the shed of the cabin they’re staying in. Shed recently won the screenplay competition for both the 2007 Eerie Horror Film Festival and the 2007 Great Lakes Film Festival.
As gritty and visceral a horror movie as you can get, Shed goes deeper than most of the standard fare these days, drawing upon elements from the new wave of European horror, as well as the character dynamics we saw in the heyday of the 1970s. If you are an interested investor wanting to know more, or a producer looking for your next project, you can contact us at info@kinkymulefilms.com. Shed can also be downloaded and read on Inktip, Script P.I.M.P. and SoYouWannaSellAScipt.com.
Since they first joined forces, Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kölsch have gained an impressive level of experience from working on big budget Hollywood films to non-paying indie shorts. Learning the many assets of filmmaking and how they operate depending on the size of the production, they spent their days on movie sets and their nights pounding out feature-length screenplays for future development. In 2002, they formed Kinky Mule Films, a company to showcase their writing and directing abilities.
Kinky Mule Film's first project was a feature length documentary on best-selling author Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club) titled Postcards From The Future: The Chuck Palahniuk Documentary (more here). Shot on location in Pennsylvania, the film documents Chuck's landmark year of 2003 with the release of two new books and the unveiling of two world tours. Dennis and Kevin premiered the film in Portland, Oregon to a sold-out crowd and the DVD later went on to sell thousands of copies on Chuck Palahniuk's official website.
In the summer of 2005, Dennis and Kevin turned their attention back to narrative film with Absence¸ a low-budget thriller shot on location around Long Island, NY. Absence tells the story of a kidnapping in an idyllic suburb and how it affects three very different people, each with their own motives. The film was recently completed and after having a successful premiere at The Long Island Film Festival and taking two nominations at the Erie Horror Film Festival, Absence now seeks distribution (more here).
