Harold’s Going Stiff is a self-funded feature length comedy/horror film that we shot back in March this year. We are currently in post-production and seeking finishing funds so we can complete in time for submission to festivals (Slamdance) later this year.
We’ve already created a 2 minute promo and we’ve been using that to generate some buzz online and at Cannes earlier this year. We’ve spent so much time and effort on getting this far that it would be absolutely fantastic to give it the finishing that it deserves.
Hand on heart, I believe this is a very unique film, and your support will get us closer to our dream of getting this into cinemas.

Synopsis
Harold has become the first man to suffer from a new neurological disease that is slowly turning him into a zombie-like state. His hermit-like existence is shaken up when a vivacious nurse, Penny, is sent along to alleviate his stiffness. Her special massage techniques work a treat on Harold and they become close friends.
Harold agrees to trial a possible cure for the disease and the initial results are excellent. But the following day hes in an even worse state than before, and after Penny accidentally overhears the doctors dire prognosis for him she decides to sneak him away the next morning.
Word soon gets out, and before long a small group of bloodthirsty thugs are pursuing Harold and Penny across dramatic moorlands in the hope of a kill.
