The STORY...
Finding his high profile pop-culture illustration career to be less than meaningful, Matt Busch sets out to find a more rewarding personal project. Visiting a nearby graveyard, Matt stumbles upon an old photograph of a South-American castle.
Obsessed with the photo, Matt begins to bring the castle to life with a vibrant full-color painting. At the same time, he creates sinister sketches of the tortured souls who he imagines inhabit the gothic dwelling.
While Matt creates his cryptic world in his studio, his girlfriend Sarah is confronted with phantom encounters throughout the rest of the home. The more Matt conjures the spirits through his art, the more intense these ghostly encounters become.Eventually the art becomes so real, that Matt and Sarah find themselves manifested in the actual castle, lost in the never-ending jungles of South America. There they must find a way home, and confront the demonic spirits conjured from Matt's twisted nightmares...The MAKING...CONJURE was written, directed, and produced by award winning illustrator Matt Busch- mostly known for his work on properties such as STAR WARS, The CROW, and LORD OF THE RINGS. Busch also plays himself in the movie, as does real-life model/artist Sarah Wilkinson, who has worked on STAR WARS, LORD OF THE RINGS and MY LITTLE PONY projects.
CONJURE was shot primarily in North Hollywood, California, and Busch's Planetmatt Studios in Macomb, Michigan, with additional locations in Beverly Hills and New York City. Shot digitally, CONJURE boasts over 300 digital effect shots- unheard of for a relatively low budget independent movie.The MOVIE...Conjure is scheduled to be released on DVD March 28th, 2006 from Razor Digital Entertainment. Presented in Widescreen, the DVD itself is loaded with incredible Bonus Features, including a Making-Of documentary, Behind-The-Scenes at the Premiere, and Alternate Ending, Deleted Scenes, and Interactive Sketchbook, and more. Stay tuned for the latest updates...
From L to R: Sarah Wilkinson, Matt Busch, and Razor Digital Exec. Vice President, Mitch Perliss. (CONJURE Q and A panel, Advanced Screening at Macomb College, November 2005.)
