5. Guillermo del Toro is helping out

If you needed a hefty geek stamp of approval, few come with better credentials than Guillermo del Toro.

Says Collora: “The picture has a very old school, Star Wars look and feel to it. That’s actually one of the comments I've gotten from several people who I've shown the movie to, including Guillermo Del Toro, who liked it so much, he's shepherding the film through the last stages of post production, giving me advice regarding the cut and contributing his thoughts about where and how the film and my career will be best served.”

“I had to find investors that were interested in making the movie I wanted to make. I was open to hearing ideas or taking notes on the script, but whomever was going to invest in this picture, needed to be on the same page as me regarding the tone for the piece, the characters, how I wanted to tell the story, and of course, the overall design and look of the film.”

Trust us when we say we’ll be keeping a very close eye on this one – and will let you know as soon as Collora finds a distributor that can bring Hunter Prey across the pond.
