Presenting Award Winning Indie Film Production Company THULSA DOOM Pushing The Boundaries Of Cinema With High-Quality, Low-Budget Films

“We make the films we want to watch”

Thulsa Doom is an award-winning indie film production company pushing the boundaries of cinema with high-quality, low-budget films with big stories to tell.

Three years in Thulsa Doom has produced over 40 shorts and two features. They have positioned themselves as ones to watch and are levelling up with a raft of unique new projects.

The brainchild of Cyrus Mirzashafa, Hector N. Helsing and Micheal Davies, Thulsa Doom was conceived during the pandemic. With a company ethos to represent true indie cinema, work with exciting new and established talent and make the films the trio really want to see.

They say "There is a lot we don't like in the commercial sector, so we put our money where our mouth is and make films on our own terms; we are three film-loving creative geeks who are passionate about what we do. There is only one rule– make bloody good films."

A snapshot of Thulsa Doom's exciting breadth of content is highlighted below.

The Yellow Letter – A seemingly impossible film shot between Covid lockdowns, starring Hector N. Helsing in the lead role and directed by Micheal Davies. The Yellow Letter saw the team lean into limitations to capture some of the pandemic madness. The film's fractured structure reflects the character’s separation from both reality and the person he cares about…ending up as a personal portrait of chaos.   https://vimeo.com/thulsadoom/review/745927933/acc8e2b182 

Merger – In this chilling film from award-winning director Daniel Negret, a man's commitment to his job takes a dark and surreal turn for the worst. Merger screened at festivals internationally, including Cinequest, Monster Fest, Nevermore, HorrorHound & Romford Horror Festival.  https://vimeo.com/thulsadoom/review/805305402/cf3580e06b

About the Thulsa Doom team
Cyrus Mirzashafa

Cinema was a huge part of Cyrus’s childhood, his sensibilities ranged from The Goonies to 2001: A Space Odyssey.  Following a BA in Graphic Design he took a year out and studied film independently, including the work of Kurosawa, Kubrick, Lynch, Kirostami, Tarkovsky, Tarantino and Malick. Cyrus then took a leap of faith into an MA in Film.

Hector N. Helsing

Following the devastating diagnosis of brother with brain cancer, Hector quit acting school and decided to get into film making directly. As an actor and writer, he pens new material constantly.

Michael Davies

Mike studied Fine Art at university. He says: “shooting my very first Super 8mm film was my gateway drug into proper filmmaking”.  He then branched out into music videos and experimental documentaries.
