I’d say 99% of people viewing Scrawl are doing so because they heard it stars Daisy Ridley, who has since starred in couple of slightly more popular movies (Star Wars in case you’ve been living under a rock). I was one of those ninety nine percent.
The basic concept here is that a teenage boy discovers that stuff he writes and has drawn down in his comic book starts to actually happen in real life. Not a particularly original story but not a poor one either. Only Scrawl takes this idea and adds what feels like a million more ideas, blends them all together and then throws them about the place...

"Do you like what you've done?" "No." Way back when, before anyone knew who Rey was and before The Force Awakens opened, British actress Daisy Ridley starred in a little indie horror project titled Scrawl, from filmmaker Peter Hearn. The film played at a few small festivals in 2015, but has never been officially released - until now. If anyone still cares. Scrawl is a fantasy horror about a boy who writes a comic book with his best friend, only to discover that what they show starts to really happen. Along with the appearance of a mysterious girl, he is forced to face the reality of what he has written, and begins a battle to attempt to rewrite death. Starring Daisy Ridley, along with Mark Forester Evans, Liam Hughes, Chris Casey, Nathalie Pownall, Elizabeth Boag, Annabelle Le Gresley, Joe Daly, Ellie Selwood, and Derek Jones as "The Caretaker". Not really sure...

"There are some things worse than airline food," and a punk rock band is about to find that out the hard way while 30,000 feet in the air in the proof of concept short film Dead Air. Directed by Geoff Harmer and written by Peter Hearn (the filmmaker behind Scrawl), Dead Air is a love letter to ’80s practical effects and flat-out fun horror comedies, and while it has been filmed, it needs your help getting across the finish line.
From Dead Air's Indiegogo Page: "Dead Air is a story about a group of female punks on a plane to their final gig who come up against a horde of evil little creatures who want nothing more than to drag everyone to hell.
We Have Shot It. We Now Need Your Help To Finish It.

One all-female punk rock band. One Boeing 737. One horde of creepy creatures brought to life using practical puppet effects. If you now have a smile on your face wide enough to rival Jack Torrance's grin, then you'll likely be a big fan of what director Geoff Harmer has in store for his next short film, Dead Air.
Written by Peter Hearn (the filmmaker behind Scrawl), Dead Air is planned as a proof of concept short that will be one big step towards getting a feature film version made. Today, Harmer and Hearn launched a Kickstarter campaign for Dead Air, giving horror fans insights into their love letter to ’80s practical effects and flat-out fun horror comedies. To learn more, check out the official press release, concept art, and video below, and visit the official page for the Kickstarter campaign.

Currently making the festival rounds, writer/director Peter Hearn’s Scrawl is a fascinating, micro-budget journey into the (dangerous) minds of a group of teenagers in England, including a pre-Star Wars: The Force Awakens Daisy Ridley. Daily Dead recently caught up with Peter for a chat about the film and the inspirational story behind its making.
Thanks for taking the time to talk to Daily Dead, Peter. As Scrawl is just starting to make its way around the festival circuit, could you give our readers an idea of what it’s about?
Peter Hearn: Gosh, where do I start? If I were to pitch it I would describe it as Big meets A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors by way of Phantasm and The Evil Dead. The story revolves around a boy who writes a comic book with his best friend, before finding situations depicted...

When British actress Daisy Ridley was announced as being part of Star Wars Episode VII, many moviegoers responded with a resounding, “Who?!” As one of the principal members of the cast, she will likely have a major role in the J.J. Abrams helmed movie, but is very much an unknown compared to the rest.
She does have some impressive television credits though, and will next be seen in British independent horror movie, Scrawl. Written and directed by Peter Hearn, the movie will be featured at the Andover Arts Festival in June before being submitted to film festivals during 2014/15.
Written and directed by Peter Hearn, Scrawl was shot over a three week period in the South of England in 2013 as well as extra days throughout 2014. It also stars Mark Forester-Evans (The Cave), Elizabeth Boag (Metro 7 bis/Chasing Robert Barker) and Nathalie Pownall (White Box/Twin Suns).
The synopsis below is extremely interesting,...

‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ cast announced (photo: ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ cast member Max von Sydow in ‘Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close’) Star Wars: Episode VII cast members have been announced. The world had been waiting with bated breath. Who will The Force be with? Well, not with humankind and its fellow Earth dwellers (apart from cockroaches and various types of worms) — if news reports about the eventual fate of the planet are accurate. But don’t despair. The End credits for Planet Earth should come after Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Studios (instead of former Star Wars film distributor 20th Century Fox) amass a few more billion dollars following the release of a whole array of new Star Wars sequels in the coming years. So, the announced (mostly European) Star Wars: Episode VII cast members are, to date, the following: Oscar Isaac (Sucker Punch, widely praised for his performance in Joel...

A pair of new independent films are on the way from writer/director Peter Hearn. The first is a feature called Scrawl. It will be shooting this fall. The second is a short film titled Motto. The latter has already been shot, but is awaiting some finishing touches before traveling the festival circuit.
Reportedly, both films revolve around the same Universe, and are being described as a new spin on the classic horror film. Scrawl is being described as Polanski meets Pulp Fiction by way of Charles Schulz Peanuts. Motto has been compared to Friday the 13th, reimagined as a silent short film.
