Half Dead Fred, a film by Bron Theron, is set to begin filming in Flint, Michigan this fall with Corin Nemec (Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, Stargate SG1, The Stand) and Jason London (Dazed and Confused, The Rage Carrie 2, Man in the Moon) leading the cast.
Described as a cross between “The Sixth Sense and China Town”, the story revolves around Freddy Nash (Nemec), an alcoholic who was involved in a tragic accident that claimed the life of his young son. Following these horrific events, Freddy is able to see and communicate with spirits. Using his newfound abilities, Freddy becomes a medium detective. His work brings him to Flint, Michigan to investigate the mysterious murder of the caretaker of an abandoned estate. It soon becomes clear that something very sinister and supernatural has occurred in the old house, and Freddy’s investigation takes some very unexpected twists and turns.
I’m really looking forward to Half Dead Fred, a great film noir/thriller to be filmed in Flint, Michigan and playing an alcoholic medium detective. Will be a classic!” Corin Nemec states.
Half Dead Fred is expected to be released in 2022. For updates and for ways you can get involved, follow @HalfDeadFred on Facebook and Instagram.
LA-based writer/director Bron Theron, who has been traveling to Flint since 2017 working on murals with the Flint Public Art Project, felt an instant connection to the community and its residents. He was inspired to shoot a horror movie there after reading about strange instances that have occurred in the book “Haunted Flint,” written by the film’s producer Joe Schipani, who also has a small part in the film playing a character based on himself. The film is also produced by Flint documentarian Jessica Revoldt. It’s very important to the team to involve Flint residents and local businesses and are looking to cast as many actors from Flint as possible.
