A local Swift Current native has been making low budget horror films, and at the same time benefiting a local organization.

Devon Oman explains Dead Prairies Productions. He says, "Dead Prairies Productions is a non-profit organization that makes local horror films in Swift Current, and the proceeds go to SPCA. And we've been going since 2012."

Oman says he is a big horror film fan and the movies that they make are sometimes shown at local establishments in Swift Current, or they can be viewed, rented, or purchased online.

Dead Prairies Productions will be part of the Halloween Haunted House at Corn Ways near Shaunavon in October, and they will be doing from filming at the Corn Maze as well at a later date.

Devon Oman is also one of six people nominated for a Swift Current Business Excellence Award in the Citizen of the Year category. He will find out if he makes it to the top three on October 2nd.
