'The Keep' Production Crew

As this a high concept pre-production project that will not actually be made into a real production, I do have some freedom as to who I can use as a rhetorical production crew.

Director - Rachel Talalay



Rachel Talalay is an American-British television and film director. She is best known for certain episodes for various British and American horror and science fiction shows. These include 'Doctor Who' and more recently, 'The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina'.

Rachel Talalay would be a suitable director for this production of 'The Keep' due to her experience with science fiction and horror properties and productions. Talalay is capable of using direction to build suspense, mostly not revealing certain aspects of a scene until the most appropriate time for the greatest effect on audiences. She can also direct larger action sequences, which would be a valuable asset especially during the climax of the last episode. Talalay's experience of 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' will also enable her to work around some unusual and gothic/ horror inspired sets which she has been able to excel in previously.

Cinematography - David Lanzenberg


David Lanzenberg is known for his work on both film and television productions such as 'Paper Towns' and 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'.

Lanzenberg is a skilled cinematographer who has had experience in filming for various different genres of film and television. This includes horror and science fiction. 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina', One of Lanzenberg's most recent contributions, features several aesthetic and tonal similarities to the required vision for 'The Keep' production. Lanzenberg uses a visual style within this show that creates an almost distorted look to the show. This helps to allow the show to look like an older horror films from the 1970s and 1980s. This would work well with the visual style and aesthetic of 'The Keep', particularly when presenting the look and feel of older war films.

Lanzenberg's experience filming horror will also suite the horror/ science fiction genre that 'The Keep' should possess.
