Film Overview
It’s Halloween party night on campus but for Fenny Godspeed and her fellow students, a horror screenwriting evening class becomes a nightmare. Can Fenny use the rules of writing horror to survive? Next slide please!
Aimed at a broad international audience of young film fans, Death by PowerPoint is a commercial horror-comedy feature film with a difference. Its production process involves a unique collaboration between Brunel University London, producers Reel Fearz, and Ash Verma Consulting.

Inspiring The Next Generation Of Film Makers
During the filming, Brunel students and staff will be given the opportunity to work alongside the creative team, professional cast and crew gaining key work experience and transferable skills across several film industry disciplines.

With its distinctive brutalist architecture, Brunel University London has a rich history in cinema and television.
