AS a child, Greensborough filmmaker Tim Glover was enthralled by Stephen Spielberg’s thriller, Jaws.
“I watched that film over and over,” Mr Glover said.
“It held me without terrifying me. “It’s a movie with wonderful depth. On the surface it’s about a gigantic shark that begins to menace a small town, but really it’s about a man overcoming his own fears and self-worth.”
Mr Glover hopes to scare and inspire audiences with his thriller, The Principality.
The film, set to begin production later this year, tells the story of Ember, a women forced to confront a family curse and with it a demon – the Principality.
Mr Glover – who spent 12 years working in visual effects and learnt his trade working for Hollywood director Ridley Scott – said he came up with the concept for the film a year ago with producing partner Ben Whimpey.
After recently filming a teaser on the Mornington Peninsula with Blue Heelers star Samantha Tolj, he said the pair had begun seeking funding.
“It’s going to be a challenging project and it’s certainly the biggest project Ben and I have embarked on after working on short films together,” he said.
“I want it to be subtle in how we portray the supernatural – it certainly won’t be ghoulish.
“We both love supernatural thrillers and we feel totally ready for it. It’s going to be brilliant.”
