It’s about that time of year when I spotlight something that filmmaker Dustin Ferguson is doing, which could be one of about 87 different things (if he’s taking it easy). It’s like the man never sleeps! He always has a project or two in the pipeline, no matter the time or apparent impossibility.

And this year is absolutely no exception. For this season’s peek through Ferguson’s dossier, I’m throwing a shoutout to his upcoming feature Midnight 3, which currently has an Indiegogo you can check out right here.

If you’re socially adjusted enough to not be in the know, let me enlighten you: the Midnight franchise follows a devil-worshipping cult sacrificing young women in an attempt to resurrect their dead mother. You know, mundane cult/family bonding excursions. The first two films were directed by John Russo of My Uncle John is a Zombie fame, with this being the first entry under Ferguson’s helming.

Ferguson said:

“The original Midnight by director John A. Russo is one of my all-time favorite films. It has served as inspiration to me for a number of my own films in the past, like Wrong Side of the Tracks, Runaway Nightmare, Asylum of the Devil, and Don’t Trick-or-Treat Alone! I recently obtained the sequel rights from Mr. Russo, who will be serving as producer on this installment.

“The funds raised will be used to cover the remaining licensing costs, actor/crew pay, and secure the location. We are only asking for a modest $5,000. That is the bare minimum we need to make this possible. Anything above that amount will ensure more elaborate special effects, props, and post-production.

“Whether it’s just a “Special Thanks” or an actual role in the film, we got covered with many great perks below! Whatever isn’t raised will have to be funded out of pocket, resulting in the possibility of a “smaller” film. So every penny counts!”

If the idea of a sequel to a Russo cult-classic piques your interest, be sure to check out the Indiegogo right here and show your support!
