Adam Spinks’ ‘The Encounter At Boundless’ Asks: ‘Are You Afraid of Monsters?

What the world needs now is a good, old fashioned monster movie. We want something we can battle against and win, something with a beating heart that we can conquer with one precise strike to the heart. After almost a year and a half of fighting an invisible enemy, we can watch as the hero looks the beast in the eye and takes it out. At least, that’s what we hope happens in Director Adam Spinks’ indie monster short, The Encounter At Boundless.

From the press release:

A terrifying late night encounter in a remote national forest provides the setting in the exclusive first look at indie monster movie The Encounter At Boundless due for release at the end of June worldwide. The Encounter At Boundless tells the story of a father and his estranged children as they spend a weekend away together to try to heal old wounds and find some common ground, but as the day shifts into night, it becomes clear that something else is out here in this forest with them… something monstrous.

The film stars Adrian Annis (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and Winston Ellis (The Dark Knight, Pirates Of The Caribbean) alongside Ashley Oliver, and newcomers Kyla Heselton and Nathan Horrod and was produced entirely during the COVID19 pandemic over the last 12 months.

Producer Natasha Branson says:

“Making any film is difficult, but making a film during a pandemic, during the period right before restrictions really started to ramp back up late last year, was a challenge to say the very least…”

Director Adam Spinks explains:

“I feel like right now is the time for escapism. We’ve been experiencing some extremely difficult times in the last year or so, so when Thérésa Hedges and I started writing the script, it was all about the adventure… so for me, it was about asking how we can take the audience somewhere new and help to zone out the news and all of that stuff even for a few minutes.”

The Encounter At Boundless is produced by Initiative Motion Pictures, Mordue Pictures and Copper Productions.
