Madeline McQueen, has won two prestigious Awards of Recognition from The Accolade Global Film Competition. The award was given for Madeline’s exciting TV series – Eyes and Ears of the Dead, and her short film – Scarier Movie, which was written with the goal to be filmed among Madeline’s other film projects. Eyes and Ears of the Dead, features an exceptional story line about two sisters. One can hear spirts and not see them and other can see them but not hear them. They have to work together to assist earth bound spirits needing help to cross the bridge to the afterlife. Production has not started so there’s not a cast or crew at the current time. However, if able to, Madeline would look into filming in and around the Rochester, Kent area.
Scarier Movie was originally an idea for a feature film that has been condensed into a short (which Madeline may still return back into a feature). It is a comedy inspired by the Scary Movie films, although this version has a little more horror to it containing some familiar demons. It’s a movie that’s a little scarier. Production also hasn’t started on Scarier Movie and will most likely also be looking at the Rochester, Kent area to be filmed.
“I was shocked and thrilled to find out that both of my projects won awards with Accolade Global Film Competition. I didn’t get my hopes up but when I was told that both of them won, I was over the moon. It is my aim to try and bring my projects to life and hopefully be able to film them.” – Madeline McQueen.
