Found Footage 3D is a 2016 American found footage horror film. It is the debut feature film of writer/director Steven DeGennaro, and is being produced by Texas Chainsaw Massacre co-creator Kim Henkel. It is the first found footage horror movie shot natively in 3D. Filming began on May 26, 2014 in Gonzales, Texas, starring Carter Roy, Alena von Stroheim, Chris O'Brien, Tom Saporito, Scott Allen Perry, Jessica Perrin, and Scott Weinberg, and wrapped mid-June 2014.
The film's trailer debuted on Entertainment Weekly August 10, 2016. The film premiered at Bruce Campbell's Horror Film Fest on August 20, 2016, where it won the festival's inaugural jury award. Its international premiere took place at FrightFest on August 29, 2016. It screened at 20 different festivals between August and November 2016, winning 15 awards.
A group of filmmakers travel to a cabin in a remote part of Central Texas to film the first ever 3D found footage movie. However, they find themselves becoming part of their film and battling for their lives as the evil entity from their film begins to show up in their behind-the-scenes footage.
In January 2014, Kim Henkel announced that production on Found Footage 3D was underway and that director Steven DeGennaro had written the film's script. DeGennaro, who had been developing the film's concept for two years, stated that he intended to incorporate 3D filmmaking into the movie's plot and that it "isn’t just a marketing ploy". He was inspired by films such as The Blair Witch Project and Scream while creating Found Footage 3D and wanted to utilize the film concept in Scream in that the film's characters are familiar with the horror genre and the rules and conventions therein. Actress Jessica Perrin was cast in April 2014, with the rest of the cast announced in late May. Filming began in Austin, Gonzales, and Dale, TX on May 26, 2014 and wrapped in mid-June of the same year.
