Welcome back to another episode of ClassHorrorCast, I'm your host Aran and on this week's episode, I am joined by none other than filmmaker Dutch Marich!

Dutch always had an interest and passion for film, he finally took the next step and actually pursued his dream of being an actor when he moved to Los Angeles at 17 and studied in the world-renowned "American Academy of Dramatic Arts" from which he graduated in 2005.

As he began to study and dive deeper and deeper into the film industry he realized that his passion lay in creating the worlds within the films and seeing his visions come to life. We get into his start with his first movie Bleed Out in 2011 and his journey which has seen him create some incredible and unique movies based on real-life situations but he manages to put his terrifying twist on them!

He has explored the horrors behind geo-caching in Hunting (2015) some horrifying visuals in the homeless situation in LA in Miserable Sinners (2018) to him exploring a real-life phenomenon of 'the hum' in Infernum (2019).

Having always been fascinated by unsolved disappearances, Dutch then flipped the pandemic situation into a huge positive for his career and created Horror In The High Desert in 2021. A feature which he wrote, directed, produced, and edited himself. If you are a fan of unsolved cases, found footage, or just great and immersive storytelling in general then please check this movie out.

In July 2017, an experienced outdoor enthusiast vanished in Northern Nevada while on an outdoor excursion. After an extensive search, he was never located. On the three-year anniversary of his disappearance, friends and loved ones recall the events leading up to his vanishing, and for the first time, speak about the horrifying conclusion of his fate.

The movie received a huge response online among audiences and I can say it replicated the feeling I had seeing The Blair Witch Project for the first time! The exciting part about this is that Dutch already has an entire universe built and will follow up early this year with Horror In The High Desert 2: Minerva which will follow another terrifying case.

BUT fear not as he has already got some of the direct sequel to part 1 filmed and plans on releasing it later this year with 2 other follow on movies which will all culminate in an incredible 5-part franchise which he plans to turn into a blu-ray boxset for all the physical media lovers out there.
