The plot of Salient Minus Ten focuses on Adam Harper, who unexpectedly finds himself thrust into a brutal game of life and death.[1]
Production edit
Salient Minus Ten was funded via the crowdfunding website Indiegogo, where it raised 109% of its goal.[2] Alan Austen, who stopped acting in 2005, was asked by Dark to audition for the lead role in the film after meeting her at the Dale-Con Sci-fi Convention,[3] and later found that he was successful in securing the role.[4] Several shots were filmed at the Barbican Estate in the City of London. Several crew members from Dark's previous film, Seize the Night, returned to work on Salient Minus Ten.[5]
The first trailer was released on August 31, 2017,[6] and the film premiered at the 2017 British Horror Film Festival.[7] It had its Canadian premiere at the Little Terrors Short Film Festival on April 23, 2018.[8]

Salient Minus Ten won the award for Best Director at the Starburst Fantasy Awards 2018.[9]
