Durham Filmmaker Dean Midas Seeks Local Stories and Haunted Venues for New Projects

Award-winning filmmaker Dean Midas from Durham needs your help. 

Mr Midas is primarily known for his short horror films, but he is now launching a ‘human stories’ documentary YouTube series called ‘A Day in My Life’ and he is also looking for haunted venues for his paranormal show ‘Spirits of’ 

For ‘A Day in My Life’ Dean is looking for businesses and individuals with a genuine and powerful story to tell story. You must be happy with being constantly on camera and based in the North East of England.

In September, Dean followed a paranormal team as they investigated the Cross Keys, Gainford. After the popularity of the documentary, they are now looking for more venues in the region to investigate. 

Mr Midas said,

“I have had the idea for A Day in My Life for sometime and it is something that I am very keen to start working on”

He concluded,

“We were blown away by the response to the paranormal documentary and we are keen to do more”

In April, Dean released horror short The Review. It has reached more than 100,000 views across all platforms and received rave reviews from industry experts. 

Roger L Jackson, better know as Ghostface from The Scream franchise, said:

“Two severed thumbs up, another screamer from Dean Midas, it crawls into your head and starts to eat!”
