An Australian Independent Horror Feature titled “Ashburn Waters” Is In Production!
BACKGROUND: Ashburn Waters was born on a rainy Easter Weekend in 2011 when David Pether and Damian Hussey were camping out in northern New South Wales. Left alone in the tent for a brief period, David witnessed a strong wind shake the tent, causing a lantern that was hanging from the ceiling to sway violently, casting creepy shadows all over the interior. That’s when the idea came to David to make a camping horror film. Inspired by the likes of Jason Voorhees’ Friday the 13th series and Paranormal Activity the team shot a teaser, which was well received, and will now set the scene for the feature.
PLOT: When a string of unexplained deaths occur at Ashburn Waters Campgrounds, the facility is forced to close its gates for the safety of the public. Months later, authorities still have no leads, and the campgrounds lay dormant. Until Easter weekend, when a group of campers sneak in, as they failed to book a site anywhere else on Australia’s busiest camping weekend. Among them is Brett, a young man going through a hard time in his life. The source of which is his now ex-girlfriend Scout, who brought along her new love interest just to rub it in his face. And to make matters worse, something is killing off his friends, one by one. What is killing the campers at Ashburn Waters?
