Director: Ray Brady.
Synopsis: An independently produced film, eight short psychological films to comprise a portmanteau feature, collaboration between Ray Brady (five excerpts) and three other Directors excerpts Jason Martin “The Language of Birds”, Asa Taulbut “Fallen” & Jamie Drew “The Stranger”.
Long synopsis: Shot over seven years on a self-financed micro-budget, “Psychomanteum” is a collaboration between four British filmmakers consisting of eight interlinking highly disturbing short stories that are in turn horrific, fantastical or science fiction scenarios. All the films were shot in and around London in the UK, with a purposeful emphasis on psychological visceral aspects of terror rather than the physical portrayal of horror.
Director: Daniel Burkholz/Sybille Fezer.

Director: Christopher R. Witherspoon- Middle Man ( 2004 ).
RAGE, a raw-nerve, suspense thriller film from independent filmmaker Christopher R. Witherspoon, combines a compelling story with nail biting action. The film is heavily influenced by the 1970's movie classic "Duel" by Steven Speilberg and Witherspoon's own personal demons. Set in Portland, Oregon, "Rage" delivers an explosive and controversial action packed thriller.
The story begins when Dennis Twist, a 30-something man who lives in a "Spielbergian" suburb just outside of Portland says goodbye to his beautiful and loving wife Crystal and heads into town. There he unintentionally provokes the wrath of a mysterious motorcyclist. The confrontation between the two sets in motion a daylong battle of cat and mouse. Beginning in the form of harmless taunts; quickly escalating into something more serious, then...into something unimaginable!
