Tremendum Pictures is a production studio founded by Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing. They’ve created horror hits like HELD, PREY, and DRIVE BACK. Their first film THE GALLOWS grossed $43 million at the box office and was made for a mere $100,000.

Grundy is an evil butcher who has hacked and slashed his way from 18th century London to the quiet cul-de-sacs of modern America. Accompanying him is a malevolent creature named Tomlin. The two have survived hundreds of years by drinking marrow (the souls of the dead). As time has passed, however, their prey has proved harder to hunt, so Grundy and Tomlin need a new plan.

One day, Rachel, a young rocker wanders into Grundy’s shop to hang a flier for her band’s upcoming show. Grundy attends the show and after seeing the venue packed with potential victims, invites her band to play in the basement of his shop. This could be the massive slaughter he and Tomlin have been waiting for. 

However, an unlikely friendship forms between Grundy and Rachel and over time his desire to kill wanes. In an effort to save his new friends, Grundy cancels the show and boards up his shop. But after learning that Grundy has lost his way, Tomlin employs his supernatural powers to finish their plan that was set in motion.

Meat Man will have a bold and gritty style with strong contrast and colors.

Our production team is a powerhouse of creative talent.

Our lead makeup designer is Emmy Award-winner Marcel Banks, a true artist in creature design and prosthetic makeup. His credits include AMERICAN HORROR STORY, ARMY OF THE DEAD, and REBEL MOON. Marcel was also featured on Syfy’s FACE OFF. Marcel’s ability to create visceral, realistic monsters will help breathe life into MEAT MAN.

We’re also teaming with Academy Award Nominated Sound Designer Brandon Jones. Known for his work on A QUIET PLACE, GODZILLA VS. KONG, and WICKED, Brandon will shape the eerie and tense atmosphere of Grundy’s world.

Anchoring our production is Clockwork 9, one of Ohio’s top video agencies. With nearly a decade of experience working with brands like Fanatics, Plex, and Live Nation, they bring a level of professional excellence that ensures MEAT MAN will be executed with precision and creativity.

We’re offering plenty of exciting perks to support the film. We’ll have signed props, Blu-rays, and opportunities to BE IN THE FILM.

Our personal favorite is called FILM SCHOOL, and it’s what sets our project apart from others. This perk grants you BTS access to the entire production, giving you a real-world education in movie making at a fraction of the price.

You’ll participate in Q&A sessions with our creative team, and have all your filmmaking questions answered. You’ll be granted access to our livestreams, where we’ll broadcast every stage of the film, including pre-pro meetings, makeup sessions, on set production, and post. And you’ll have access to all our production documents, from the screenplay, budget breakdown, shoot schedule and more. This is your chance to support independent film and at the same learn how to get your own film made.

Our $250,000 goal is the critical first step in bringing MEAT MAN to life. This will allow us to jumpstart essential stages of the production, including:

• Crafting terrifyingly intricate makeup sculpts
• Designing and engineering animatronic rigs
• Begin the casting process to assemble our incredible cast

While our Indiegogo campaign focuses on these foundational elements, our overall production budget is $1 million. To reach that goal, our team is simultaneously raising money via private equity. These combined funds will ensure that MEAT MAN achieves the full scope and quality it deserves.

Every dollar raised beyond our $250,000 Indiegogo goal helps us in two ways:

• Accelerating Production: With funds on hand we can begin production sooner, with fewer logistical delays or outside constraints.
• Creative Freedom: Crowdfunding allows us to operate without red tape, ensuring that the vision of MEAT MAN remains as bold and uncompromised as possible.

By joining us early in this journey, you become a vital part of the team bringing MEAT MAN from concept to screen.
