Body Farm
Body Farm is a 2020 feature film shot in and around southwestern Pennsylvania off of a script from executive producer Brandon Keenan. Co-directed by Brandon Keenan and Nicholas LaMantia[1], Body Farm follows an independent film company that sends a videographer ahead of a story to investigate a body farm where human decomposition is researched. The footage she sends back leads the rest of her team to follow her footsteps to uncover a grisly medical abyss.[2] The film stars Brandon Keenan, Nicholas LaMantia, Brett Hollabaugh, Genevieve Weiss, David Ogrodowksi, Dave Petti, Tom Mirth, Mike Reeping, and introduces Kristin Cirillo. It features a cameo from Richard Christy of "The Howard Stern Show."[3] The film was produced by Keenan, LaMantia, and veteran Pittsburgh film producer John Gallagher.
Body Farm has won numerous awards on the film festival circuit including Best Feature and Best Sound at the Indie Horror Film Festival.[4] as well as five different awards from the Guerrilla Movie Makers Awards. [5] Screening in over two dozen film festivals,[6] the film premiered locally in Pittsburgh, PA at the Oaks Theatre on January 23, 2018.[7] As of March 1, 2020, the film, distributed through Quiver Digital, is available on DirecTV[8], Google Play[9], Amazon[10], Microsoft Movie & TV[11], and Apple iTunes[12] with more to be announced.

Production[edit]
In 2007, Brandon Keenan wrote the first draft of Body Farm after a friend told him about body farms and the gory nature of them. He decided to take that concept and turn it into a horror film script. Fast forward to 2015 and Keenan was ready to tackle a short film version of the project. With four days of production and about a year of post-production, the film was ready to go into feature film production. Keenan and LaMantia took over as co-directors for the feature-length Body Farm in February 2016.
Principal photography took 22 days and lasted until December of 2017. Keenan continued editing the film throughout the filmmaking process to ready it for its January 2018 premiere. Mikey Rukus, composer for AEW Wrestling[14], came on board to do the music in Fall 2017. [15]
