Finding his high profile pop-culture illustration career less-than-meaningful, artist Matt Busch sets out to find a more rewarding personal project. Matt’s sudden obsession with old photograph of a South American castle begins to violently manifest in his vibrant paintings. As Matt renders the tortured, haunted souls he imagines inhabiting the gothic dwelling, his visions begin to take a life of their own as ghostly phantoms soon materialize through his art, forcing him to ultimately confront the demonic spirits conjured from his twisted nightmares!
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.
