Production company Frog Lab LLC is officially assembling a powerhouse creative team for a bold new movie project. Titled The Church of Chaos, the feature-length cosmic horror anthology aims to redefine the traditional theatrical moviegoing experience completely. Producer G. Riley Mills is partnering with creative lead Kermet Merl Key to develop the ambitious production. As a result, genre fans nationwide can expect an immersive event that blends cinema, dark humor, and cosmic dread.
A Congregation of Talented Directors
An eclectic roster of seasoned independent filmmakers joins the project to direct individual anthology segments. Acclaimed director Zack Parker brings his uncompromising psychological storytelling approach following his work on Scalene and Proxy. Visual effects artist Trey Lindsay also steps up to direct the bookend framing adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s Nyarlathotep. Lindsay previously delivered stunning visual work for popular Shudder features including Blood Shine and Mother of Flies.
Additionally, Corn Bred Films founder Eric Anderson brings his distinct visual narrative style to the production team. Emerging director Kyle Hendrick also joins the lineup after making waves at the Chicago Horror Film Festival. Notably, the production honors the memory of filmmaker Jeremiah Kipp, who was originally attached before his passing. Kermet Key assumes direct managerial responsibilities for those specific segments to fulfill Kipp’s original vision.
Taking Horror Beyond the Screen
Beyond traditional cinema screens, the filmmakers plan an expansive nationwide touring exhibition called The Great American Congress. This interactive event brings the anthology directly to local horror communities through live appearances and mixed-media storytelling. Audiences won’t simply watch a movie from quiet theater seats; instead, they become active members of the fictional church. Actor Kharn Alexander stars as Billy Ambrose, the enigmatic leader whose strange sermons connect every storyline.
Building a Fan-Supported Community
The production team launched a unique fundraising initiative through non-profit arts organization Fractured Atlas. Dubbed The Founders, the campaign invites genre enthusiasts to help cover production costs while gaining direct creative access. All voluntary charitable contributions directly fund future touring events and creative media experiments, not corporate pockets. As a result, the project aims to build an enduring nationwide network of independent horror supporters. Moviegoers can expect further updates as production continues.
