Welcome to the official website for the 'Human Residue' project!
About the project
Human Residue is a survival movie concept from indie filmmaker Chris Bouchard which he developed with collaborator Mike Ritchie and Rickety Shack Films into a low budget film-making project with a crew of over fifty participants in York, UK in 2006 and resulting in the movies, trailers and clips on this website. Since then Chris has gone on to make the Lord of the Rings fan film sensation: The Hunt For Gollum. He hopes to gain funding to continue the Residue saga.NEWS
22 May 2008 Residue Project Completion
We have successfully brought the Human Residue project to it's natural completion, it's taken us on a unique film-making journey over the past two years which has resulted in a DVD of clips, movies and footage shot over the course of the project. Watch out for future works by the film-makers over the next few years, in which we hope to return to the Residue universe for a fully funded feature film.
07 Sept 2007 Production Update & New Teaser
A little update on our progress. We've filmed some very nice pickups and new scenes in early April, mid May and mid June. Including part of the final action scene at an abandoned aircraft hangar in north Yorkshire (great location) which went very well indeed. We're now trying to schedule upcoming shoots to fit the restructured edit/script. Since our editor Jonny Ellins got back from his travels, he's made further progress in the editing. We've also been working on a behind the scenes featurette showing The Story So Far on the production. Onwards we march towards completion...
Also we've completed a new teaser which you can watch here. (WMV)
