Watch: IT-Themed Short Film THE BARRENS Filmed In Bangor Using Locations That Inspired Derry
Earlier this year, film production company Cemetery Theater spent three days shooting and producing a short film called The Barrens. Inspired by IT and shot in Bangor, Maine – the inspiration for Derry – the production claims that this is, “…the first fan film of its kind to use the actual locations that inspired Stephen King.”
Written and directed by Shane Grant, the short follows a mother and daughter enjoying a picnic on a beautiful day. When a phone call takes the mother away for a moment, the daughter chases a red balloon to a nearby sewer drainage pipe. I think you can all guess where things go from there…
IT Chapter Two comes out this Friday. You can read our review here.
