A film production company based in Barnsley is working on a new horror film and only has 19 days left to raise funds through Kickstarter to meet its £5,000 production budget.

Safehouse Pictures UK, run by Cudworth husband and wife team Damian and Nicola Morter, have teamed up with independent filmmaker Liam Regan on a feature length film called 'Banjo'.

It is about a young man manipulated by his imaginary friend to exact revenge on his tormenting co-workers.

If they are able to meet the production budget target by November 27, Banjo will go into production in May 2014.

Safehouse Pictures UK was formed in 2010 by Damian and Nicola and their plan was to create innovative and commercial feature films to showcase their talent within the UK.

They are hopeful the money can be raised for Banjo, a twisted tale of romance and revenge, which carries the tagline: 'Peltzer has an imaginary friend. Unfortunately for him, it's Ronnie!'

Banjo follows a bullied office worker named Peltzer, who is humiliated daily by his fellow colleagues and cheating spouse.

Once news about an embarrassing bedroom accident makes its way around the workplace, Peltzer decides to put up with his torment no longer, and conjures up his childhood imaginary friend 'Ronnie' through the use of a ouija board.

Peltzer's world is soon turned upside down, as Ronnie attempts to manipulate him to exact revenge on his tormenting co-workers in the most gruesome fashion.

A promotional trailer for Banjo was shot earlier this year based on the screenplay to help generate the production budget through Kickstarter.

Nicola said the concept of Banjo is best described as Drop Dead Fred (1991) meets Basket Case (1982) with a dash of dark British humour.
