Handcuffs For Poltergeists is a short comedy horror film written by and starring award-winning comedian Rob Carter as his alter ego Christopher Bliss - the worst novelist in Shropshire.

 

Christopher Bliss has previously ruined novels and butchered theatre and now his first foray into filmmaking is set to cement his reputation as the most deluded boy west of Telford.

 

Made possible by an unlikely victory in a Shropshire Council film competition, this film weaves in and out of Christopher's spooky story and the chaos involved in its making: behind the scenes footage of Christopher and his best friend Karen (Ellie White) rubbing up against a producer from the Council (Ben Ashenden), as our hero's unconventional ideas begin to drive everyone up the wall.

 

Directed by Dan Britt, produced by Joe Scantlebury and shot by DOP Tommy Bolwell, this independent film was made possible by a passionate crew of filmmakers, who stretched the shoestring Kickstarter campaign budget to its limits.
