About Happy Camp

In the vast wilderness of the Klamath National Forest lies the small logging community of Happy Camp. With a population consisting of only a few hundred souls, this mysterious mountain town has become world renowned for its staggeringly high number of missing persons cases.

Walt and Sandy Tanner adopted a young boy named Michael at the age of 9 and brought him home to their town of Happy Camp where the couple were raising their young son, Dean. Upon Michael’s arrival, the two boys shared an immediate bond and for the first time in Michael’s life, he had a family. 

After living in Happy Camp for only two years however, tragedy struck on the afternoon of October 22, 1989 when Dean Tanner was abducted from the family’s home. Michael, outside with his brother at the time, and the only witness, oddly had no recollection of the violent crime.

The town, which was already renown for its staggeringly high number of missing person cases, had yet to solve the Dean Tanner disappearance. 20 years later, a grown Michael Tanner has mustered the courage to face his past in an effort to remember what actually happened to his brother on that fateful day. Under the provocation of his girlfriend, Anne, Michael has reluctantly agreed to have his journey documented by a professional film crew. However, what Michael, Anne and the crew uncover are dangerous secrets about Happy Camp that will change their lives forever…

About Josh Anthony

First time writer /director Josh Anthony, inspired by the genre of the “intimate” Horror Film, sat down to write Happy Camp when he was doing research for another project in 2009, and came across an article that showed how many people were reported missing in the Klamath National Forest. With a little more digging in his research, he stumbled upon the little town of Happy Camp. Josh says, “I remember being on google maps and virtually walking through the town…immediately I said…what a great place for a horror film!!”
 
With this film he set out to blur the lines between fiction and reality and create a new way to engage the audience through not only suspense and fear, but with fully formed characters and an amazing plot. A labor of love, this film took three years and countless hurdles to get off the ground. When Flower Films came aboard 2011, it made the movie possible and off he went. Josh’s goal for this film was to create a real environment with real characters in the horror film genre that you would engage with and care about throughout the process and discovery. Anthony says, “If don’t care about your characters, you have nothing.” He is a graduate of the University of Connecticut with a Bachelors of Economics and worked as an actor for nearly a decade prior to expanding to writing and directing. Anthony currently has five additional projects in different stages of development with his writing and producing partner Anne Taylor. In addition to working together, they are happy couple who met in 2011 and have been collaborating together in work and life ever since.

About Anne Taylor

Anne comes from the small town of Wannamingo MN. After high school Taylor moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film and television. She studied film at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts where she received an Associate of Arts degree. In 2008 she was presented with an opportunity to move back to Minnesota when she was accepted into the world-renown Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis to further her studies in their Professional Actors Program. While in Minneapolis she took part in all that the Minneapolis theater scene had to offer, playing Rosaline in As You Like It in Minneapolis Fringe in addition to working as a print model and taking parts in short films and regional commercials.

After a few years in Minneapolis, Anne decided spread her wings and move back to Los Angles. Two weeks after moving back she met Josh Anthony. They began to write and develop projects, including Happy Camp. Their partnership flourished and they have been together for three years. With several projects in various stages of development they compliment each others styles well, making an amazing partnership. In addition to producing, Anne balances a fifty-hour a week job as a production accountant for major studio films in the Los Angeles area. Anne says, “The education on a studio film is invaluable when I’m working as an accountant. I take everything I learn and apply it when I’m in the producing!”
