Beware the Lord of Nightmoor Manor
In an affectionate spoof of classic Gothic Romances, a plucky orphan takes a position as a tutor for the niece of the brooding Lord of Nightmoor Manor, and opens the door on a world of intrigue, mysteries, romance and civet cats. One actor plays all the roles in a production filmed entirely on green screen in two rooms of an apartment.

Director Statement

Sometimes when you're in one place for a long time, you decide to be as creative as you can within those very specific parameters. Thanks be to loved ones who support us in such endeavors--and allow us to transform our small townhouse apartment into a greenscreen studio for several days.

We shot everything for this, and two subsequent episodes of Nightmoor Manor, in three days of frantic up-and-down-stairs filming in October, then planned on post-production work through the next three months--quite literally as fast, and as slow, as we could manage.

Episodes 2 and 3 of NIghtmoor are in the final stages of post-production.
