A very experimental art film looking at the theme of sexual desire.

Tormented is the unofficial third entry to Jason Impey’s trilogy, ‘Troubled’, ‘Tortured’ and now the shocking and controversial ‘Tormented’.

Tormented follows Faye as she struggles to break free and escape her kidnapper Robert, but why has he kidnapped her, what dark secrets does she have, and what price will it cost her to get away from Robert and her past once and for all?

Tormented has ended up being put with Jason Impey’s other film ‘Escaped Convicts’ which is in fact a heavily edited version of ‘Tortured AKA Sex Slave’ to make a double bill to be sold as a feature film by Chemical Burn Entertainment. Tormented has also been edited and put in Jason’s other feature film ‘Killer Stories’ to play as one of the short horror films in this anthology.

Jason Impey liked a script Tim Cowles wrote and so took that script and adapted it to make a short fake snuff film in which a depressed movie director cannot take the rejection from his career no more and decides to make the ultimate film of his career, his own death live on camera!

Jason also shot an introduction to this film in which he finds the tape of the suicide to add to the authenticity of this little film.

Horror/Thriller

Trapped was a short art house film made for the Straight 8 film festival and therefore shot on 1 black and white super 8 cartridge with no editing, however Jason also simultaneously shot a black and white digital version of the film in which he did edit.

The film follows a women who is attacked and kidnapped in the woods only to be taken to a room in which various horrific acts of torture awaits.

This was originally a pilot episode for a planned series following the character Doug Hanson, the character from the sub plot of Jason Impey’s feature film ‘Tortured AKA Sex Slave’.

This first and only installment follows a suicidal Doug on a mission to get revenge for his partner’s death and he must face his grandfather who is the murderous werewolf behind the brutal killing.

This film has had a massive online response and screened at the Final Cut Film Festival in Brighton.

Lust is the extremely popular short film from Jason Impey in which 2 lesbians start enjoying themselves in a field until the jealous boyfriend turns up for revenge on his cheating partner and her lover.

Jason shot a HDV version simultaneously with the 16mm version to have 2 different cuts in which the digital version is featured in Jason’s feature film ‘Cut & Paste’.

Revenge of the Dead is Jason Impey’s super 8 zombie masterpiece. It tells the story of two young attractive women that go for a pic-nic to bitch about men (a theme that will be seen later in Jason Impey’s feature Tortured). This leads to disaster when a dog walker awakes a rotten corpse who attacks and rapes one of the women infecting her which starts what will soon be a zombie apocalypse.

Jason set off to make this film early 2007 and wanted to create a true grindhouse experience, and this was the start of an epic journey.

This was the first film Jason collaborated with Kemal Yildirim on who acted as his DOP. Kemal who also loves exploitation cinema worked closely with Jason to give it that 70’s look. Although the film was shot on super 8 there were technical problems with the film and therefore re-shoots were required and eventually lead to a very small portion to be shot digitally and then made to look like film that Jason was not too pleased about and continues to bother him.

This film took 6 months to make with 3 shoot days spread out over a couple of months and a headache of ADR work which lead to a completed film dealing with sexually transmitted diseases using the zombie genre to drive it. This was an idea Jason had come up with a year earlier when planning to make a zombie feature film with VIPCO that unfortunately fell through.

This film has had numerous screenings splitting the audience in half, partly due to its shocking images including a zombie penis! The film has ended up being the opening to Jason Impey’s feature film ‘Cut & Paste 2’.

This is an artistic music video Jason made to the track ‘The Devil’s Work’ which is the theme song he made for his feature film ‘Home Made’.

This is a short and sweet flick made with a dual purpose, 1^st was to test Jason’s new camera and lighting, and the 2^nd was to have an entry for the Nokia Shorts Competition.

This quirky little film tells a simple tale of a baker who turns a complaining customer into his next delicious treat on the menu. Do you know what’s in your pie?

This film was originally made for a short horror film competition in which it had to be just 2 minutes long. Jason did a cut for this, but had to loose a lot of the gore to save the running time, so after the competition Jason reinserted the gore for a 3 minute director’s cut which has gone on to have minor distribution in Germany.

Zombie Infest is a very unique film for Jason Impey as it is a fully stop motion zombie short following a character called Quaid who encounters a zombie outbreak caused by the army messing about with chemical warfare. This is the first of many Jason Impey films with a character called Quaid, a name Jason has taken from the film ‘Total Recall’ as homage.

This a an art house film that explores the same themes Obsession/Tape of Horror & Eternal Beast explored, which is looking at the complex mind of a psychopath and how one must do battle with their selves in their head.

This is the first super 8 film Jason shot, and filmed it on Halloween 31^st October 2005. The film has been broadcast on Propeller TV and been screened at the Cambridge Super 8 festival 2006 in which Jason did a Q&A.

This was the short film Jason was making alongside ‘Zombies in the Wood 2’. It is a film shot on a new style from Jason Impey where he uses the camera to go on a ghost hunt to seek out a poltergeist that apparently haunts an old bakery, but Jason gets more than he bargained for when the poltergeist comes out to play!

This film has had mixed reviews and been compared to ‘The Blair Witch Project’ due to the style of it. The film was original made for the £50 festival and has found its way to a screening in Edinburgh and numerous broadcasts on Propeller TV.

Hitman is a simple short in which a man being lead to his execution escapes and a show down is sure to be followed by the escapee and executioner.

The main reason for this film being made was Jason was testing some of his equipment out and experimented with ADR that lead to the birth of this simplistic short that made its way onto the ‘Tales of Terror’ DVD.

Tape of Horror is the second zombie film from Jason Impey, but a zombie film with a difference. This is a creepy unsettling short film with no dialogue, and tells a simple story of revenge through a VHS a man discovers while walking his dog. The man takes the video home and watches in horror the past crime he had committed and watches in terror the man he killed coming back from the dead to seek his revenge.

Tape of Horror was shot over 2 days and edited over a week with the entire audio being created in postproduction. The film has gone on to be a part of the Super Short Film Festival run by Talent Circle that included various cinema screenings and the film has also been broadcast on The Community Channel and Propeller TV.

Beast tells the story of local farmers being attacked trying to save their animals from a mysterious beast that is eating them. Two farmers see this on the local news and decide to make a bet on who can kill the beast first, but the hunters soon become the hunted in this tense action packed thrill ride.

Beast was originally made for a short film competition and has gone on to be featured on the mediakillers website and is available on ‘Tales of Terror’.

This was shot on the Canon XL1S and edited on Final Cut with Jason using a bit of CGI to enhance the effects of the rifles.

This is a very short little film with a theme about split personality and looks at the struggle one faces with their inner demon.

A lot of the effects for this film were done in camera.

Jason Impey went out one day in early February 2005 with is miniDV handycam and shot 2 super short films each using different techniques in filming and then playing around with them again on his Casablanca like with ‘Beyond Darkness’. The first of these films is ‘Lone Warrior’ & the second being ‘Eternal Beast’. 

Lone Warrior is a simple 90 second film that shows a samurai warrior walking the wasteland defending himself against the mysterious presence he feels.

Jason expanded on this idea and made a brand new 30 second teaser trailer for Lone Warrior in 2006 and submitted it with a script etc for funding for the digital shorts grant, although feedback was good funding did not ever happen.

This film was screened at a short film festival in London in 2005 and is available on  ‘Tales of Terror 2’.
