After surviving the first day, the cast and crew of EAT (2014) set out to prove they really can handle anything. Jimmy bloodies up his own bathroom to create the aftermath of Novella’s eaten foot. Jon tries out a garbage bag suit to shoot some shower sequences. And Annie has trouble painting Meggie’s nails for an opening sequence.
Hey folks!
Exciting news! The Making of EAT: Web Series is now online. That’s right! You can watch the first episode, Day One RIGHT NOW! And then in 48 hours (Sunday morning), Day Two will be released. And then every episode after that will come every two days.
We are very happy with how this all turned out. I’d like to once again thank the cast and crew of EAT, particularly Hawk Vaccaro who caught a lot of great moments on video. Now what are you waiting for, go check out The Making of EAT: Web Series!
The Making of EAT: Web Series chronicles the fast paced and bloody 15 day production of the horror film, EAT (2014). The series follows first time writer/director Jimmy Weber and his small cast and crew of highly skilled filmmakers as they tackle the world of microbudget filmmaking. From gory props to production hiccups to quirky crew members, The Making of EAT: Web Series is a must-see for any fan of EAT or those too squeamish to actually watch it.
Directed & Edited by Jimmy Weber
Shot & Produced by Hawk Vaccaro

It’s been a few weeks since EAT hit the streets and the word is slowly starting to roll in. So far, it’s been insanely positive. The most recent review comes from Luke Rodriguez at ModernHorrors.com. Not only did he call the gore “really fucking gross. Like… really fucking gross,” but he said EAT “may be my ‘surprise of the year’.” Here’s an excerpt below. Read the full review after the jump.
“Beyond all that though, there is a legitimately good story that carries us through. This isn’t simply a collection of scenes aimed to gross you out with no rhyme or reason. You start to feel something for Novella. What that “something” is may differ from person to person, but the fact that you feel anything other than sickly is pretty damned impressive.”
