NEWS: Being - the movie

5/12/2017

Thrilled to be on the writing team for the feature film BEING, now in pre-production. Directed by Douglas C. Williams, staring Lance Henricksen (Aliens, Near Dark, Millennium), and Robert John Burke (Robocop 3, Law & Order SVU, Thinner).

The story all takes place in one night on a farm on the outskirts of a small town in the mountains. A mysterious, bright burst of light explodes from inside the barn, knocking out the power. The drunken gathering going on inside of the main house comes to an abrupt halt. There is a creature they will discover in the barn. Not human. Something they do not understand. And when the beliefs of the weak and fearful are threatened, they turn on each other...

Nothing is more real. Nothing is more scary. Than hate...

Island profile: Matthew Quinn Martin, bookish man with a penchant for horror
When Matthew Quinn Martin was very young, he was terrified by an odd pattern in the grain of the wood paneling in his house.

In his 4-year-old imagination, the grain formed the face of Frankenstein. Although his mother taped an envelope over the face, it spooked him for years.
