Plot Summary
Syd Jarrett (Marc Blucas) is an unsuspecting, down-and-out man in a washed-up hick town whose life is turned upside down when the drop-dead gorgeous Nora (Nicki Aycox) walks through the door of the local bar. Jarrett’s passion for Nora leads him peripherally into a sub-culture of animals where he encounters Vic (Naveen Andrews), a renegade whose animal instincts are stronger than his human ones. As things begin to get even worse, Jarrett realizes that his best chance for happiness, and survival, lies in his true love for Jane (Eva Amurri).
Summary written by Matthew Temple
This was an interesting project to be apart of. To summarize it was full of Erotic Blood, Sex, Animals, & horror. This was my first experience on a Movie Stage, which was intriguing to watch how they get the shots and dose doe the locations around for shooting. The most memorable was when we were outside of Kennecott shooting nights. For rain scenes they used over 135,000 gallons of water. We got to blow up cars at 5:30 am. We were also at this abandoned cement factory in downtown Salt Lake, which was incredible miserable. It was 110 degrees outside and inside it was at least 115 degrees. Everyone was sweaty, stinky, dirty, grumpy and zapped by the heat.
I learned a lot, met great people and slept for a few weeks after it was over.
There was some controversy in the news about the filming of Animals in Utah. Its not your typical Utah film because of its Erotic Horror thriller blood and steamy sex. It was the first film to be turned down for funding by the Utah Motion Picture Incentive Fund.
Pictures from this adventure need to go through the approval chain of command before I post. So stay tuned.
