Support 8 episodes of a new horror TV series, produced in dual format: vertical-first episodes with a landscape cut for wider screens
We’re raising funds to produce 8 episodes of a new horror series and prove the concept on screen. "There Are Wolves Here Too" is built dual-format from day one: vertical-first micro-episodes for phone viewing, plus a landscape cut for festivals, markets, and industry screenings. Our aim is to create a finished, watchable proof of concept that can unlock the next stage: partners, commissioners, and investment for the full series. We already have the series mapped out - 35 episodes, ready to go!
Our Project
This is an adaptation of Niall Howell’s award-winning novel, originally set in Canada. We’re relocating the story to Brighton, 1997 because the city’s edges, energy, and contradictions make the themes hit harder: youth culture and isolation, seaside brightness and suburban shadow, a place that can feel open and claustrophobic at the same time. The core engine stays the same: a girl disappears, the adults move on, and a group of teenagers refuse to let it go with the support of an older sister giving Nancy Wheeler vibes. As they dig, the town closes ranks and the truth starts to feel like it’s hiding in plain sight.

Why Now?
"Obsession" and "Backrooms" have shown that indie horror is having a moment. But what makes ours unique is that this is a story about incel horror, explored through the point of view of the women and girls who "disappear" in communities and the wolves within them.
Audiences are already watching story in fragments, on phones, in queues, on commutes, between everything else. Horror thrives in that space because tension does not need long run time, it needs precision. We’re building a series that respects attention and still delivers cinematic craft: short episodes, sharp cliffhangers, escalating dread, and a world you want to stay inside. We’re also making it dual-format so it can live where audiences are and still travel through the industry in the way projects need to - as a short film.
Who Are We?
This is a women-only production team and our writer is a women, bringing stories seen already in Obsession and Adolescence but centering women and girls at its core. We combine deep experience, emerging talent and real momentum. I’m Emma Topping, CEO of Viv Loves Film, with nearly 30 years across entertainment law and production, specialising in packaging, financing, and book-to-screen adaptation. I’m joined by Izzy Kemp, Development Producer who is central to how we’re building audience and community around the project from the start.
Dan Lowenstein, a vertical pioneer, is directing and Evie Day's status as rising vertical star in that older sister role, strengthens our ability to deliver a professional proof of concept and take it forward with confidence. Evie recently won at the National Film Awards for her vertical: In Other Words I Love You. We worked with her on our "Jamie and the Vampires" and we know that this is a winning formula.
Together, we’re combining experience that knows how to get projects made with a team that is hungry, agile, and ready to build something new.
How we’ll use the money:
If you back this campaign, you're helping us prove a bold, modern horror series in a format built for audiences now, with a package strong enough to take into the rooms where projects get greenlit.
