Synopsis/Details:
Grass is set in an apocalyptic world where the majority of the human population were devoured within moments by a hungry and seemingly vengeful planet. Only a few sparse survivors remain trying to survive in the new and harsh world, where keeping off the grass takes on a whole new meaning.
Two brothers trek their way through country Australia in an attempt to reach a place where they will find shelter from danger and possibly survival. Along the way they will encounter a new threat that the world has created to finally rid the world of the virus that is mankind.
This short has been written as a proof of concept for a feature that I am currently writing. While I would love to film this myself I am certainly open to anyone who wishes to contact me in regards to producing this short in the hope of bringing the full feature to life.

The Writer: Matthew Corry
I am a writer who prides himself on creating original horror stories that avoid standard tropes and cliches. It is my goal to create stories that not only leave a stroke of fear through the viewer but also to create strong realistic characters to ensure the horror and tragedy is not simply visual. I write mainly low budget horror features as from a business point of view I want to mimic certain production companies proven systems of producing low cost/high profit films, however, I do like the dark side of comedy and have written other scripts outside of my preferred medium. I have also written a pilot for a highly original supernatural/drama series. Go to bio
