The final scenes of Mainframe Pictures’ feature-length movie, “She Came from the Woods” were completed in August at Cushman Farm’s cornfield in North Franklin and Main’s Country Store & Grill in Bozrah.

Adapted from a screenplay by the same name, the film was co-written and co-produced by brothers Erik and Carson Bloomquist, who describe it as a “coming-of-age film that also happens to be a horror movie.”

Erik Bloomquist, who directed the movie and took a role as a camp counselor as well, said the plot revolves around the last day of summer in the late 1980s, “ and there’s a family-owned summer camp with multiple generations in different leadership positions there. It is about a decades-old campfire story come back to life.”

Erik said there is an “amazing ensemble cast,” which includes Cara Buono (“Stranger Things,” “Mad Men,” “Person of Interest”), Clare Foley (“Gotham,” “Sinister” and “Win Win”), Spencer List (“The Bachelors,” “Hard Sell” and “Night Has Settled”) and William Sadler (“Die Hard,” “The Shawshank Redemption” and “Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight”).

The 70-plus member cast and crew consisted of over 50 actors (15 adults and the rest children between 10 and 13, some of whom were extras).

The bulk of the shooting took place between late May and mid-June at the Channel 3 Kids Camp in Andover, which “was really exciting. They were really supportive and really wonderful and great partners,” said Erik, who co-founded Mainframe Pictures with Carson in 2013.

Products by The Farmer’s Cow of Connecticut can be spotted in this movie.

“They’ve been very supportive of our projects and us in general and we’ve featured the brand in a lot of our movies (since 2015). And they are just really great people,” Erik said. “And we’ve been looking for an opportunity to do some stuff on the farm” and there may be even more opportunities “down the line. But it just worked out that there is a need in this movie for a cornfield and some other scenic elements that The Farmer’s Cow certainly offers.”

“It feels awesome when a serendipitous connection like this is made. I consider myself very, very fortunate to have the opportunity to tell The Farmer’s Cow story,” said Kathleen Smith, marketing representative for The Farmer’s Cow, who grew up milking cows on Cushman Farms, which her family still owns and operates.

“The Bloomquist brothers and the cast members of their movies understand that it’s more than the milk and other products. They get our story. They met the farmers. They know that we are real farm families that are here in the community working hard to make the best products we can using sensible sustainable agricultural practices. The thing is it’s not just the Farmer’s Cow story I get to share. It’s the story of every farm in Connecticut. The dairy, poultry, plant, beef and aquaculture story. To me it is important that people hear The Farmer’s Cow story (and) be inspired to find out just how much Connecticut Agriculture has to offer and there is a lot!,” Smith said in an email.

Born three years apart and raised in Newington, the Bloomquist brothers started making movies with camcorders when they were about 7 and 4. In the beginning, the brothers produced “just little shorts, little things that were inspired by,” holidays and sleepovers, they said, completing each other’s thoughts. They would show their movies to their families, friends and their friends’ families.

Their paths continued to align as they grew older: Erik graduated from Trinity College in Hartford with a major in theater and dance and a minor in music. Carson graduated from Connecticut College and majored in film and minored in economics.

Erik said he and Carson always bonded over a shared passion of writing and producing movies, that they “have each other’s back,” and he thinks “it’s really cool to be able to work together like this. And we’ve come to realize that a lot of people don’t have this kind of love” and that not all siblings “have this kind of relationship.”

Asked if they have developed a shorthand for communicating when making movies, Carson said he thinks it’s great that they “have the ability to reference other things we’ve done so we have an immediate understanding of what kind of style or what kind of elements we want to use in whatever new thing we do.”

Carson said he thinks their creative side has always been there and that the business-oriented side crept in since they both went to college.

“We fused them, I think, in a nice way, where we’re retaining that youthful sort of enjoyment, while also “doing it for real.”

The Bloomquist brothers said they both enjoy working with children.

“I think kids like to play and I think when you make it clear that this is playing,” Erik said, and they “buy into that, then there’s a lot of fun, and there aren’t as many necessarily inhibitions that adults might have. I mean, granted, if you’re a professional actor, then you maintain that sense of play. But it’s kind of fun to like, I don’t know, open up a world like this that feels bigger than life to kids and just them seeing that it’s possible.”

In between scenes on set, 11-year-old identical twin boys George and Anthony Marini of Ansonia agreed they liked the “chasing” scenes. Even though there is a great deal of “waiting around” when acting, they might be interested in auditioning again “when the next chance comes,” they said.

Twins work well in horror movies, said Larry Dwyer, Youth Casting Coordinator of Derby, whose daughter, Jaelynn, 10, is one of the “featured background” people.

Acting in this movie has been “amazingly fun,” said Jaelynn Dwyer, “because you have to do a lot of action in this movie,” which included running and yelling.

Declan Foley, 11, of Fairfield said it’s been “pretty fun” working with his sister, Clare, who has a lead role in the movie and “meeting other people who are also in the acting business” and “people around my age.” Declan said he has “been doing (acting) like my whole life. It’s my first movie, but I’ve done short films and commercials before.”

Declan’s mother, Megan Foley, said all six of her children acted when they were Declan’s age.

“It’s been a really nice experience for my kids. We’ve been lucky. They’ve done a lot of really great projects and worked with nice people like Erik and Carson. And it’s been a good life experience for them, you know, just even for anything they want to do later in life, talking to people, meeting people.”

Megan emphasized that, “It’s actually a great life skill for them to learn how to balance everything. If you want to do this, you have to stay up on your schoolwork. If you want to do sports, you have to figure out how you can do that also on the weekends and practices and stuff. So sometimes it’s running into an audition, making it back for a sports (event) and doing your homework in the car or making sure you’re ahead of your homework.”

After completing editing and post-production work this year, the Bloomquist Brothers plan to have “some kind of theatrical launch next year” for “She Came from the Woods,” possibly at a film-festival premiere. Their production company, Mainframe Pictures, also produced the award-winning television series, “The Cobblestone Corridor,” and the following movies: “ Ten Minutes to Midnight,” “Weekenders” and “Long Lost,” among others.
