Due to there not being a topic which is dedicated to Dan's new project entitled 'White Enamel', I have decided to create one. Here we can direct each other and discuss the new Blair Witch related venture.
I hope you enjoy your stay.
Here's a quick overview of White Enamel, which also explains the link with The Blair Witch mythology:-
'If you're expecting a "horror" movie, this is not it.
If you're anticipating "lunatics," zombies, blood, brains, ghosts and demons, this is not it.
If you're hoping for a name-cast Hollywood style of artificial horror and effects, this is not it.
If you're seeking a full-scale motion picture in theaters, on DVD, VOD, or even YouTube, this is not it.
It IS online. But it is not a website, and it is not a movie.
Instead, it is both.
White Enamel is an interactive hybrid experience. It is a complete submersion into the inner-most depths of a state psychiatric hospital; that when explored throughout the abandoned, dirt, mold and mildew infested peeling corridors of rusted gurneys, wheelchairs and urine stained mattresses, reveals days when nurses, orderlies and doctors made their attempted rounds as patients, anonymous in their minds, but not anonymous in their hearts, were often anonymous to the staff.
For Blair Witch fans, yes - it is the very same institution that contained Kyle Brody, who would be committed here in 1966, after having been expelled from the Reston Hills Sanitarium in Atlanta, Georgia when hospital staff could no longer control Brody. Our hospital, the Glenfield Psychiatric Hospital on the grounds of the Maryland State Institute for the Criminally Insane, was considered the most effective in treatment of mental illness; a treatment however - that would end Kyle Brody's life in 1971 when Brody gouged his own wrists with a wooden spoon that he sharpened on the cement floor of his world at Glenfield.'
