Filmmaker and fellow Mad Monkey Steve Daniels has scored big with his short fantasy “Dirty Silverware.” To date, the picture has appeared in more than nine film festivals and recently took the “Best Short Film” award at Sitges in Spain, widely considered the world’s foremost international festival specializing in fantasy and horror films. Mad Monkey and Tom Clark served as executive producers on Dirty Silverware, which tells follows a man as he travels deep into the forest to stop an ancient creature from creating cursed silverware that brings unhappiness to the world.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Daniels has already completed and released a follow-up entitled “T for Termite.” This four minute narrative was created especially for “The ABC’s of Death,” a contest whereby independent filmmakers produce shorts inspired by the letter T and post them on the web. Whichever entry receives the most votes will be incorporated into a feature length anthology featuring short films from 25 notable genre filmmakers.
