Aim
We are seeking £2,000 to complete the production of 'THE PEOPLE AT THE WINDOW', a short psychological horror film.
THE PROJECT
Straight off the back of our award-winning zombie film 'HAVENFALL', comes our next project - THE PEOPLE AT THE WINDOW. It's a 20 minute horror film about two friends, Andie and Julia, on the edge of graduation, who escape to a remote cottage for a long overdue break from the stress of university life. No phones. No plans. Just hills, fresh air, and the kind of conversation you only have with someone you have known for years.
Then he appears.
Then another.
Then more.
They do not speak. They do not move. They simply stand, and smile, and wait. And when Andie goes out to confront them and does not come back, Julia is left alone, terrified, in a darkening cottage with something in the night she does not yet understand...
WHY THIS FILM
Horror works best when it is quiet. When it is patient. When it lets dread build in the spaces between words.
We want to make something that gets under your skin slowly, like cold water seeping through fabric. Something that stays with you long after the screen goes black.
The People at the Window is folk horror for people who are afraid of stillness. It is psychological horror for anyone who has ever felt watched in an empty room. It is a love letter to the films that do not need to shout.
THE SCRIPT
The script is complete. It is twenty pages of increasing dread that ends with an image we guarantee you will not forget. We know exactly what we are making.
WHO IS MAKING IT?
Iron Triangle Films is an independent production company built on the belief that great stories require great writing, committed performers and filmmakers.
Andrew Bell, Julian Gamm and Andy Dodd will produce and co-direct. Between them, the three directors bring a shared vision for what this film is and an absolute refusal to let it be anything less.
Their previous work includes the zombie horror film HAVENFALL, which is generating genuine attention in the independent horror community. They know this genre. they knows what it takes to build dread on a small budget in a real location.
WHAT IS THE MONEY FOR?
We are hoping to raise £2000. We have secured the location in Ulverston for filming on May 18th - May 22nd 2026.
The day to day running costs of keeping a five day independent shoot on track and on schedule.
Travel Getting cast and crew to Ulverston and back. Fuel, mileage, and transport across the shoot days between locations.
Food Cast and crew are fed for the full five days on set. Nobody works well on an empty stomach and nobody on this production goes without.
The lighting package needed to shoot a psychological horror film in a real remote location, day and night. The atmosphere in this film lives or dies on the lighting. We are not cutting corners here.
Make Up Professional make up and effects for the full shoot period.
Nobody on this production is paying themselves. Every penny listed above goes directly to what you see on screen.
THE CAST
Casting is currently underway. Both lead roles are being filled through an open casting process and we are seeking two actors in their early to mid 20s for the roles of Andie and Julia. Updates will be posted here as casting is confirmed.
THE RISKS AND CHALLENGES
We are not naive. We know that independent filmmaking is hard. Weather in the Lake District is unpredictable. Schedules slip. Things break.
But we have contingency plans. We have worked together before and we know how to problem solve.
If we hit unexpected delays, we will communicate immediately and honestly. No secrets. No excuses. Just a team of filmmakers doing everything we can to deliver the film we promised.
If you decide to back the campaign:Thank you.
Genuinely. It means more than we can probably say in a campaign update.
Making an independent film is an act of stubbornness as much as anything else. You decide the thing needs to exist and then you find a way to make it exist. Having people back that decision, people who do not owe us anything and chose to anyway, changes what this feels like. It makes it less like stubbornness and more like something worth doing together.
Every contribution, whatever the amount, goes directly to the screen.
We will keep you updated throughout. You backed us and we want you inside the process, not watching from the outside. Expect honest updates, behind the scenes content, and the occasional dispatch from an cold cottage in the Lake District in May.
From Andy, Andrew, and Julian at Iron Triangle Films, thank you for being at the 'cottage' with us.
THE PEOPLE AT THE WINDOW. In production May 2026.
