It is the debut feature film of writer/director Steven DeGennaro,[1] and was produced by Texas Chainsaw Massacre co-creator Kim Henkel.

A group of independent filmmakers — producer and actor Derek, editor Mark, lead actress Amy, sound technician Carl, director Andrew and production assistant Lily — travel to a cabin in a remote part of Central Texas to film the first ever 3D found footage movie, Spectre Of Death.

The group travels to Gonzales, Texas, with a script based on a warring couple who experience supernatural occurrences in a rural cabin.

Derek reveals that the cabin they are staying in is reputed to be haunted in real life after its previous owner murdered his wife and dumped her body nearby; the revelation upsets Carl.

Pleased with their progress, Derek takes the crew to a bar and reveals he has invited influential horror critic Scott Weinberg to document proceedings.

While reviewing footage with Mark, they find that an unknown party filmed the group as they slept and an invisible force wounded Amy.

Mark runs back to the cabin and is about to leave in their van before hearing Amy’s voice over the mic, pleading for help.

He braves the cabin — covered with Derek’s remains — to find a portable mic to locate Amy.

A tearful Amy tells Mark she wishes he hadn’t returned for her, hoping he had remembered the cardinal rule of found footage — no characters survive — before her eyes glow red and she lunges at him.

In January 2014, Kim Henkel announced that production on Found Footage 3D was underway and that director Steven DeGennaro had written the film's script.

[2][9] DeGennaro, who had been developing the film's concept for two years, stated that he intended to incorporate 3D filmmaking into the movie's plot and that it "isn’t just a marketing ploy".
